4.0: Path cut off #278

Closed nilshoerrmann closed 2 years ago

nilshoerrmann commented 2 years ago

Long domain names cut of the actual path that's edited.

Ideas:

make the path field content wrap
display the domain outside the input field (help/info text)
never show the domain (removing it – if present – when bluring the input)

distantnative commented 2 years ago

Using the standard before slot of a text field here, so neither wrapping nor hiding on blur are really attractive options as they'd mean hacking a default field. But maybe I just check how long the domain/before text is and if more than x characters, shorten it with …

nilshoerrmann commented 2 years ago

Regarding shortening: in my case, it would also work to only show the subfolder: /example.com/ instead of localhost:8888/example.com/. This would make clear where to start with my path definition without filling the full input field.

Other ideas:

Adding a flag in the config whether to show or hide the domain. I really like the domain to be displayed, but in my case it would make sense to disable it.
Allowing to set a custom domain in the config (I could add the production domain for instance which is way shorter than my localhost).

distantnative commented 2 years ago

✅ There will be a new distant native.retour.site option that allows setting a custom text or to disable the prefix completely (false).
