  • Implement Collections feature with YAML parsing and README generation
  • Add validation tooling and comprehensive error checking
  • Create VS Code tasks and creation scripts for developer experience
  • Add comprehensive documentation and examples
  • Fix YAML parsing logic bug in both update-readme.js and validate-collections.js
  • Improve developer experience with interactive collection creation and code refactoring

Recent Improvements

Code Refactoring & Developer Experience:

  • Extracted YAML parser: Created shared yaml-parser.js module to eliminate code duplication between update-readme.js and validate-collections.js
  • Interactive collection creation: Refactored create-collection.js to use interactive prompts instead of error exits, with friendly messaging and user guidance
  • Improved error handling: Enhanced error messages to be more helpful and suggest actionable next steps
  • Configuration improvements: Made collection limits configurable with MAX_COLLECTION_ITEMS constant
  • Auto-directory creation: Updated scripts to automatically create collections directory when needed
  • Documentation ordering: Positioned collections as the last item in navigation as a non-standard customization

Previous Bug Fix

Fixed a critical bug in the YAML parsing logic where the condition leadingSpaces > leadingSpaces was always false. This was preventing proper parsing of nested properties in array items (like path: and kind: properties in collection items).

Root Cause: Copy-paste error resulting in a variable being compared to itself
Fix: Changed condition to leadingSpaces > 2 to properly handle array item properties that are indented at 4+ spaces
Impact: Collections now parse correctly with all nested properties preserved

Files Fixed:

  • update-readme.js:170 - Fixed impossible condition in YAML parser
  • validate-collections.js:102 - Fixed identical issue in validation script

Validation: Tested with existing collection files to confirm proper parsing of all YAML structures including array items and display objects.
