Config file for remix workspace

[Aniket-Engg]

A config file, may be named as remix-config.js can be used for all type of configurations we required from user on Remix IDE platform. It will be dedicated to a certain remix workspace only.

It can have plugin based configuration like version, evmVersion, optimization and auto compile for Solidity Compiler plugin. It also can have settings to enable/disable metadata generation for compiled contracts. Each time a workspace will be loaded, configuration from this config file will be updated for plugins and other places.

We need to figure out:

• [ ] Its Specification
• [ ] How not to make it complicated for beginners
• [ ] Will it be 2-way syncing (If config in compiler plugin is updated, should we update the config file too) (May be this too can be configured through this config file itself)
• [ ] Limitations (Will it be limited to certain/native plugins)
• [ ] Config file can be deleted and users can use of remix default behaviour.

      defaultVersion: ‘soljson-v0.8.2+commit.661d1103.js’,
      url: https://solidity-blog.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/data/08preview/soljson.js //applicable if type is custom
      language: ‘solidity/yul’,
      evmVersion: ‘istanbul’,
      autoCompile: false,
      enableOptimization: true,
      runs: ‘300’,
      hideWarnings: true,
      generateMetadata: false
      },
      uDapp: {

          lowLevelInteraction: false,
          methodInteractionLayout: ‘expanded/collapsed’, //these are opened now on clicking on carrot
          personalMode: ‘on’
      },
      general: {
      textWrap: true,
      enableAnalytics: true,
          onload: {
            protocol: ‘https’, (will redirect as per this setting)
        theme: ‘dark’,
                defaultWorkspace: 'default_workspace',
        openInEditor: 'homeTab/lastOpenedFile/<some file path>', //first two are keywords the last one is path of file
        plugins: [‘solidityCompiler’, ‘uDapp’],
        activePlugin: ‘solidityCompiler’,
        terminal: ‘collapse’,
        showSocialIcons: false
          }
       }

I think we should have the config file type as .json. It will be easier to parse the content in JSON format.

Editor config can be here too. for ex. number of spaces in tabs, font size etc
