In plain English

Persian Lorem is a Visual Studio Code extension that fills your code with placeholder text written in Persian. If you're building a website or app and need dummy content to see how Persian-language layouts look before the real text is ready, this tool lets you drop it in instantly without leaving your editor. The way it works is straightforward. You install it through the VS Code marketplace, then type a trigger word directly in your code file. Typing plorem spits out a full paragraph of Persian placeholder text, while typing something like plorem20 gives you exactly 20 words. You can also trigger it through the command palette if you prefer. The extension is smart enough to recognize where you're typing, so it works correctly whether you're inside a Vue template, a React component, a plain HTML file, or a CSS file. This is useful for front-end developers and designers working on Persian-language interfaces. If you're prototyping a dashboard, building a blog template, or mocking up a landing page and need to test how right-to-left Persian text flows alongside your design, you can quickly insert realistic-looking filler text. It saves you from pasting in the same English Lorem Ipsum and then manually swapping in Persian sentences, or worse, leaving English placeholders that won't reflect how the final layout behaves with actual Persian copy. The project is built in TypeScript and handles the nuance of working across many file types. Rather than blindly inserting text everywhere, it does context validation to avoid inserting placeholder text in places where it would break your code. It's a focused, single-purpose tool that does one thing well.
