This PR removes unnecessary features and over-engineered code from the VS Code extension to focus on core functionality and improve maintainability.

Changes Made

Removed Demo/PoC Features

  • Hello World command: Removed the demo command from both package.json contributions and extension.ts
  • Redundant activity bar view: Removed slingrExtensionView, keeping only the essential slingrExplorer

Simplified Drag & Drop System

  • Completely removed complex field reordering functionality that used ts-morph for code manipulation
  • Removed TreeDragAndDropController implementation from ExplorerProvider
  • Eliminated handleDrag, handleDrop, and reorderFieldsAndGetText methods
  • Removed associated MIME type handling and data transfer logic

Streamlined Cache System

  • Removed over-engineered implicit field reference tracking (buildImplicitViewFieldReferences)
  • Eliminated complex queue-based file processing in favor of direct change handling
  • Removed detailed decorator argument parsing that wasn't being used
  • Simplified reference tracking while maintaining essential navigation functionality
  • Reduced complex method parameter parsing

Code Reduction

  • ~1,300 lines removed across core files
  • cache.ts: 60% reduction (850→344 lines)
  • explorerProvider.ts: 65% reduction (570→209 lines)
  • extension.ts: 18% reduction (60→49 lines)

Maintained Core Functionality

  • Tree view explorer for Slingr data models
  • Navigation to code definitions
  • Model and field discovery from src/data/ directory
  • File watching for cache updates
  • All essential test coverage

Impact

The extension now focuses on its core purpose: providing a clean, maintainable tree view explorer for Slingr data models without the complexity of experimental features. This improves code readability, reduces compilation time, and makes future development easier.

Fixes #13.
