feature: function-builder for viewing multiple values #147

Closed ahillio closed 2 years ago

ahillio commented 4 years ago

If I have a tree of many objects I can create a view of multiple values like so: .data.map(x => ({name: x.customer_name, due: x.amount_due, work: x.lines.data[0].description}))' What would be really great is a way to build that function without having to type the whole thing...

In issue: Display current path #97 there's the possibility fx to display the .data[].lines.data[0].description part and I would like to do something that might utilize that feature...

A command Ctrl+S (or some other logical mapping) to enter into "function builder mode" (or whatever you'd call it) where you can then use J/K arrow keys to move through the data tree and hit a key, maybe S, to select items for the function... so you could scroll through a single object, marking the data values that you want to see, then hit Enter and have the function filter all the objects down to the data you just selected.

I rewrote the entire fx in golang. So I belove this issue is no longer needed.
