2 weeks ago This was in TODO from a long time, glad that you picked it up.
For storage, Ideally we should use something like SQLite, it's doable with rust, If you want I can set up a basic SQLite storage to build on top of. Finding/searching with SQLite will be cheaper than storing text in json. If you want to take a stab at it, that's fine by me.
(I don't mind existing tauri-plugin-store, but it was meant for storing small data like settings or config, and it doesn't provide any way to group/search/find etc, if store grows it will be costly, plus storing string inside JSON will need managing escape sequences etc. It's better to avoid it instead)

Context:
As a developer, I often find myself reusing code snippets/ commands across various projects and environments. Having an efficient and organized way to store and retrieve these snippets within devtools-x would greatly enhance productivity and ensure consistency.
Proposed scope:
[ ] Snippet Creation: Ability to create and save code snippets within the app. This includes support for multiple languages, syntax highlighting, and formatting options. (Our monaco editor)
[ ] Organization: Allow users to organize snippets into folders, tags, or categories for easy navigation. Option to add descriptive titles and notes to each snippet.
[ ] Search & Filter: Implement a powerful search functionality that enables users to quickly find snippets based on keywords, tags, or language. Will combine this with a more advanced keywords based search hook for all the modules aswell
[ ] ❓ Snippet Sharing : Option to share snippets with team members or export them in various formats (e.g., JSON, plain text).
Questions: @Sparkenstein What is your preferred way of storing files/snippets? Also, are there any additional features you'd like to see in the snippet storage system?
Edit: Perhaps wrap the db file storage used on the "JSON Tools" module?
await db.get<any>("snippets/group/file");Additional note/ idea: Would love to make this system reusable for eg. AI prompts, currently using a combination of notes, snippetsLab en notion.
