@edvin Just saw that you started playing with the ViewEditor/Builder 😉

Yeah.. that was really hard, but there is gold in there somewhere! If we can make that thing work.. oh man!

We should kidnap an IntelliJ IDEA plugin expert.

My shotgun plugin programming can only get us so far I think.

If only there was a real source of information, like a good book or something.

I need to figure out the Framework support first. I want to make that work and do a release before I continue to play with the ViewEditor.

Framework support? By the way, is there an easy way to test changes of the plugin, since I want to add some CSSAnnotators?

Yeah, you can add something to your current project so that the intentions can check for the availability of this thing before it suggests intentions etc.

Ah your talking about @mikehearn suggestion this morning?

@nimakro It's pretty easy to set up a test environment. You need to download IntelliJ community edition and add that as a SDK to IDEA. Then you create a Plugin Run Configuration. You might also need to add the kotlin runtime libs to the SDK config. I think that part is pretty well documented actually.

Yes.

I had an issue for it on GitHub as well.

I'm looking for another plugin that uses framework support so I can see how they have done it.

I have the

TornadoFXFramework

class as a starting point.

@edvin Ah oky thanks will check out the docs some more 😉

I will see if I can find that link. Would be good to have some more eyes on the plugin project.

Yes I am planning to add some quickfix hits for CSS which allows to do something like this

padding = box(3.px, 3.px, 3.px, 3.px)

to

padding = box(3.px)

If you figure that out, it opens the door for may other similar nice features.

@edvin Will let you know and sent you a PR if I get it working 😉

But first I have to do a bit more for university 🙈 .. talk to you later

Enjoy 🙂

Alas.. it told me about what I already knew, and stopped when it got interesting.

@User uploaded a file: TornadoFX Facet enables plugin in Project.mp4

@mikehearn 👆 😎

I should probably figure out how to do Facet autodetection before release though.

very nice. yes i guess gradle sync can add facets automatically

no clue if that's a public intellij api though.

@mikehearn There is a FacetBasedFrameworkDetector, been wrestling with it for a little while but I have to get to bed. Will continue tomorrow afternoon 🙂

If I had gotten further on the ViewEditor I would have nailed this by now. I see that if I had created specific PsiFiles for View etc, this would be a walk in the park.
