SQL Editor

[halsten-dev]

Hi,

I'm trying CogentCore for the first time with a precise idea. I'm trying around the editor widget, which is amazing by the way, but I was surprised that in the long list of supported fileinfo's types there was no SQL.

Is there a way to support it ?

Thanks a lot.

Hello, thank you for asking about this. It does look like SQL is missing from fileinfo.Known, which is an oversight on our part. We will therefore add support for that soon. I filed #1419 for this.

In the meantime, you can use SetFileExt as a workaround. Here is an example:

texteditor.NewEditor(b).Buffer.SetFileExt("sql").SetString(`SELECT * FROM users`)

Thanks for your fast answer.

This is working fine !

Just one last question about editors : There is a 1 second delay when creating a new line. Is there something I can do about it ? It's nearly perfect but this one second delay is kind of showing some kind of performance issues.

Thanks a lot in advance.

@halsten-dev Thank you for your reply. I can't reproduce a one second delay, but I think you might be referring to what happens as you add newlines in a smaller text editor, which makes it expand. That process currently has some issues (likely related to #1398), so you probably want to make your text editor grow to fill the available space:

ed.Styler(func(s *styles.Style) {
    s.Grow.Set(1, 1)
})

If that works correctly, your text editor should start out with more height and thus will not run into those issues. Please note that once we fix #1398 this issue should go away regardless.

Indeed, that fixed the issue ! Thanks a lot for your fast and clear answer.
