Settings: repositories
What
- Repositories
settings.get('repositories')
Rather than a list/array like the following
"repositories": ["REPO"]
it would likely benefit to have it be an list/array of dicts such as, which allows for the name to be the primary text in the quick_panel and the url to be the secondary text in thee quick_panel
{
"repositories": [
{
"name": "SnAPI Repo",
"url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/STealthy-and-haSTy/SublimePackages/master/unreleased-packages.json"
}
]
}
I personally don't think this is needed. People modifying the repositories setting are much more likely to perform such changes in the settings file directly instead of using the command palette (in which case they can use comments to annotate their entries).
Two things:
- What would be the harm in supporting this format?
- I actually use the command palette over editing the JSON file when modifying repositories, which is how I initial discovered that when removing repos, I am presented with a list of long URL's which may or may not be enough info for me to know which one to remove.
What would be the harm in supporting this format?
It's a new feature that needs to be implemented, maintained, and adds potetial for breaking backwards compatibility. Every feature that is added should be evaluated for its necessity and usefulness.
I don't think it makes sense to give json repositories, names.
As "repositories": [] can also take normal github/gitlab/bitbucket repos it may probably make sense to provide InputHandlers to also enter a "Package Name", when adding new urls, very much like Sublime Merge's "Add Remote" command, but those package names would then be stored in "package_name_map".
