# Extension editor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Extension editor is the one tool used to create and permissionlessly publish an extension.
|
||
|
|
As extension do not rely on existing languages or frameworks barrier to entry is significant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following points are considered to improve the developer experience:
|
||
|
|
- guidance to initiate an extension
|
||
|
|
- cues to easily build bit by bit
|
||
|
|
- feedback to make sure it will work as expected
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## From zero to hero
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add more examples, templates and one click option to create an extension skeleton.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## A feature complete editor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Improve the editor basic features to match common expectations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Never loose work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It should not be possible to loose the result of a work session.
|
||
|
|
Indivual extensions are saved locally. All extensions ever edited can be retrieved via a workspace style panel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Improve syntax navigation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Matching parens and nesting level are visualized using colors.
|
||
|
|
Easily identify when a block syntax is correct.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Semantic highlighting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Semantic highlighting: each variable is identifyed by a unique color (https://medium.com/@evnbr/coding-in-color-3a6db2743a1e)
|
||
|
|
References (events, views) are colored and can be navigated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Completion and easy doc access is provided for all supported primitives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Navigation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A reference can be navigated on user clicks. A query can be listened to (data show inline) (LightTable watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8-b6QEN-rk)
|
||
|
|
An event can be triggered with user provided data.
|
||
|
|
Destructuring is facilitated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prevent creation of invalid extension
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The editor is not a regular text editor. Users can't randomly edit extension, making it mostly read-only.
|
||
|
|
Changes can only be introduced semantically, via custom actions.
|
||
|
|
New pimitives can only be added via a custom editor action. Primitives children can be added. Text element and properties can be edited.
|
||
|
|
Renaming a custom primitive will rename all its usages.
|
||

# Further improvments
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Time navigation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Triple time axis (navigation)
|
||
|
|
git history
|
||
|
|
data changes (query changes, track events)
|
||
|
|
extension changes (visual undo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDTSyWA31XI https://vimsical.com)
|
||
|
|
Time travelling
