Catch API breaking changes as you type

{ "coderifts.apiKey": "cr_live_..." }

Features#

• Real-time diff on save — Every time you save an OpenAPI file, the extension fetches the git HEAD baseline (git show HEAD:<file>), sends both versions to the CodeRifts API, and updates diagnostics in under a second.
• Inline diagnostics — Breaking changes appear as squiggly lines directly on the affected lines. Red for BLOCK-level (endpoint removed, auth changed), yellow for WARN (field removed, type changed), blue for INFO (risky but non-breaking).
• Status bar item — Shows the current analysis state at a glance: CodeRifts: SAFE, CodeRifts: 3 warnings, CodeRifts: BLOCK (3 breaking). Click to open the Analysis Panel.
• Analysis panel — A dedicated sidebar panel shows the full analysis: risk score (0–100), breaking changes list with severity, and a direct link to the CodeRifts dashboard.

Configuration#

All settings live under the coderifts.* namespace in settings.json:

{
  // Your CodeRifts API key
  "coderifts.apiKey": "cr_live_your_key_here",
  // API base URL (advanced — do not change unless self-hosting)
  "coderifts.apiUrl": "https://app.coderifts.com",
  // Analyze automatically on every save (default: true)
  "coderifts.autoAnalyze": true,
  // Show inline squiggly lines (default: true)
  "coderifts.showInlineHints": true,
  // Minimum severity to show: "error" | "warning" | "information"
  "coderifts.severity": "warning"
}

Installation#

Recommended: search "CodeRifts" in the VS Code Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X), or use Quick Open: ext install coderifts.coderifts-vscode. Also published to npm for programmatic install: npm install @coderifts/vscode-extension.
