How Do I Import a File Size Extension in VS Code?

Published in VS Code Extensions 2 mins read

You can't directly "import" a file size extension in VS Code like you would import a library or module. VS Code extensions are typically installed through the Extensions pane within the application.

Here's how to install a file size extension:

  1. Open the Extensions pane: Click the Extensions icon in the left sidebar of VS Code.
  2. Search for file size extensions: Type "file size" or "size" in the search bar.
  3. Choose an extension: Browse the available extensions and select one that meets your needs.
  4. Install the extension: Click the Install button next to the extension you've chosen.

Once installed, the extension will usually integrate directly into VS Code's interface, allowing you to view file sizes in various ways, such as:

  • Within the Explorer pane: Some extensions display file sizes directly in the file list.
  • As a status bar item: Others show the file size in the status bar at the bottom of the VS Code window.
  • Through a dedicated command: Certain extensions might provide a command to view the file size of a selected file or folder.

Example:

If you want to see the file size of a file you're currently editing, you could install the "File Size" extension. Once installed, the extension will display the file size in the status bar.

Note: The specific functionality and appearance of the extension will vary depending on the chosen extension.
