What’s inside
NestJS DevTools ships two tightly-focused features that cover the most common workflow friction points in NestJS projects.Logger Helper
Inserts
this.logger.debug(), .log(), .warn(), .error(), or .verbose() with the enclosing class name automatically injected into the message. Works with block-ending lines — the logger lands after the closing brace, never inside it.Module File Searcher
Opens a grouped quick-pick of every
.ts file in the current module. Type a one- or two-letter shortcut (S for service, C for controller, DT for DTO…) to jump to that file instantly — no Enter key required.Key commands at a glance
