Usage Improvements Part 1 #138

Closed JoeAtHPI closed 9 months ago

JoeAtHPI commented 9 months ago

Analyzing the worfklows of people with Exploriants, I extracted some quality of life features, to improve the usages of the tool. 1) instead of just ranges, any collection can be given to literals to quickly generate variants 2) when using this quick generation, even symbols can be passed to quickly e.g. call 'new' on 'Morph', 'Object', etc 3) prettifies the source code of nested watches and variants in watches. makes the grid more readable 4) live elements can be quickly resolved in exploriants, effectively cleaning up 5) adding examples does a static analysis of the parameter name and creates some default objects to decrease example setup 6) deleting proxies in the variant manager also deletes originals 7) message sends can be extracted to examples, eg 'Morph new color: Color green' creates an example in the method 'color' with self being 'Morph new' and the args being {'Color green'}

There will be another MR following this one in a few days - recommendation is checking individual commits to isolate the features when reviewing
