[Flutter] Add 'stless' and 'stful' template shortcuts. #1278

Open johnsonmh opened 5 years ago

johnsonmh commented 5 years ago

Android studio has common Flutter templates. By typing stless hitting <cntrl> + <space> and then hitting enter, you can very easily create a new stateless widget.

A very similar thing happens for entering stful -> hitting <cntrl> + <space> -> hitting <enter>.

These shortcuts are great time savers and would be awesome to have in DartPad. This is not the most high priority feature though, just nice to have.

This would definitely be a great change, if for no other reason than I use them in IntelliJ (which calls them "Live Templates") a lot.

One issue is that LiveTemplates are a feature of IntelliJ rather than the analysis server or CodeMirror. I'm not sure how much work would be required to implement these.

Does anyone have an example of a site based on CodeMirror that's implemented this type of template expansion?

FYI, the IntelliJ Flutter live templates are defined here:

https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/blob/master/resources/liveTemplates/flutter_miscellaneous.xml

bu that may not necessarily help with implementing them in dartpad.

If the intent is to implement a full code editor, we could use https://github.com/cdr/code-server to take full advantage of the dart and flutter editing support already implemented by @DanTup instead of implementing yet another editor

That's a great idea, I didn't know we could leverage existing code server logic. I'm all for that!
