Improving Generic Map by Reworking levelIndent

[omemisoglu]

Enhancement Proposal

Codemap levelIndent property can cause improper or infinite nesting due to a only indent level handling. Introducing hierarchy level handling addition to indent level handling can resolve the issue.

Solution Description

Implementing hierarchy level by promoting levelIndent to identify not a whitespace indent on files, but a hierarchy level among other mapping rules of a indent dependant programming language file.

Non-hiearachy Mapping Rules

• If a mapping rule has no hiearchy, it cannot nest other mapping rules.

Hierarchy Priority

• Mapping rules with levelIndent property set other than zero (0) can nest lower level hierarchies (lower number, higher hierarchy).

Resolving Hierarchy with same Indentation

• When mapping rules with levelIndent has same indentation, higher hierarchy mapping rule will nest lower level hierarchy.

---

Further Improvements to Proposal

• [ ] Implementing mapping rule category: When different categories mapping rules with the same indentation but different hierarchy levels can nest each other.

• [ ] Supporting non-indent based programming languages by improving hierarchy algorithm.
