Description

feature-request outline

In Outline view, I need a filter that "Show only exported members"(functions, constants or whatever), as if I were using a developer tool to inspect a library from a caller's perspective.

  • For module js, the filter should find members modified by export keyword.
  • For classic js (if supported), the filter should find function/variables exposed to global scope, those including top-level functions/vars. consider also eslint /* exported xxx */ and jsdoc /** @global */.
  • For wasm/wat (if supported), the filter should find exports; see example https://beta.tourofdreamland.net/wasm-inspector/
  • For lib files of other languages, this filter may find members that are public, public static or modified by other keyword of the same concept.
