🔀 Lambda Expression Refactor

Allows for refactoring a function and all of its function calls to a local lambda expressions instead. The lambda expression can be a one shot or can be stored as a local variable.

🤔 Why make this extension?

I really enjoy lambda expressions in C++. I believe they are a modern alternative to traditional functions that maintain encapsulation while also providing code locality. In my opinion this benefit of code locality allows for easier reading of a codebase.

✅ Lambda functions are perfect for:

• Single use functions, especially those that create a host of temporary variables only to generate a single necessary object
• Simple reusable functions with local scope

⚠️ Lambda functions are not great for:

• Well defined functionality that is reused in multiple contexts
• Complex code that requires distinct unit tests

💻 Commands

Run commands: CTRL+SHIFT+P

• RefactorToLambda: Replace single function calls with a lambda one shot expression

🛠️ Planned Features

• Remove the original function
• Replace several function calls with a single reusable std::function lambda expressions variable, and remove the original function
• Add checks and warnings when any action breaks the current codebase
  • Ex: When a single function call replace is used but more than one call exists
  • Ex: When a function being replaced is called in multiple contexts
• Allow for interactive closure parameter refactoring
• Add support for configuring the code generation based on the project's C++ standard
• Support the lambda expression equivalent in other languages
