Apidocs a bit slow #5

Open MathieuDR opened 1 year ago

MathieuDR commented 1 year ago

I'm not sure if it has to do with my configuration, or whatever, but it feels a bit sluggish.

Is this to be expected?

emmanueltouzery commented 1 year ago

Yes, that's part of the reason why there is an option for only core functions or not. We're calling the elixir repl functions to extract the data and the repl probably wasn't meant for that.

The speed will depend on the number of dependencies you have (and the speed of your computer obviously). In my case it's quite acceptable.

There would be a solution, that would be caching the data. We could probably store the docs as files on disk, and we would refetch them when the timestamp of the config.exs of the project would change. However that's extra work and I'm not planning to do this for now. I would accept pull requests for that purpose though!

Regarding the core functions or not: if we list only core functions it will be faster. You could probably have two shortcuts for speed, when you know you're interested specially in core functions only (standard library, not all the dependencies you have).

Note that obviously there are probably other avenues for speedup, but they are not obvious to me. I didn't time the runtime of this plugin vs running the repl commands by hand, or possibly the repl could be run differently to gain speed on so. But I don't see how.
