Hey everyone! 👋

I’m happy to share a custom **Directus interface extension** I recently built:  
👉 **[Find Duplicates Extension](https://github.com/FazCodeFR/directus-extension-find-duplicates)**

It helps you **quickly identify and inspect duplicate entries** within any collection by selecting one or more fields for comparison.

* * *

### ⚙ Features

- Select any non-system collection
- Choose one or multiple fields to compare
- See grouped results of duplicated items with shared field values
- Click to open and inspect each duplicated entry
- Normalizes values with `.toString().trim().toLowerCase()` for accurate matching
- Fully translated UI (English 🇬🇧 & French 🇫🇷)

### 📦 Installation

#### ✅ Recommended: via Marketplace

You can install it directly from the Directus Marketplace:  
Just search for `"Find Duplicates"` or `"Fazcode"`.

Then don’t forget to activate the module:  
**Settings** → **Project Settings** → **Modules bar** → Enable `"Find Duplicates"` to make it visible in the sidebar.

* * *

### 🧠 Notes

- Supports all custom collections (non-system)
- Uses Directus API with `limit: -1` to fetch all items
- Groups duplicates and provides direct links for quick editing or inspection
- Built with Vue 3 and `vue-i18n`
