Outline functionality supporrt?

Open dalnekoff opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

Have you thought about adding support for the outline functionality in VSCode? I was picturing something that would enable organization of the code similar to how we could break up tabs or sections in the qlik sense data load editor.

@dalnekoff can you give an example of what your looking for. I assume you mean for it to show up in the Outline pane within the Explorer in vscode, Currently it says "The active editor cannot provide outline information"

I too would like to see some additional features, but at this time it looks like there is no additional features being added.

It's true that not a lot of work was done in this repository for a long time. I'm not a Qlik user anymore so it's pretty hard for me to test / add new functionalities as I don't even have a license. But I'd be glad to accept new pull requests and make this plugin live a bit.

@dalnekoff i had similar "requirement" myself so I've wrote something that can help - https://github.com/countnazgul/qlBuilder. qlBuilder is a CLI tool and can be used with any text editor (vscode, nodepad++ etc)

There is also dedicated VSCode extension which is helping when working with Qlik scripts - https://github.com/q-masters/vsqlik

But anyway ... both of them fit nicely with this extension
