Debounce parseFields() #49

Closed k1sul1 closed 7 years ago

k1sul1 commented 7 years ago

When user is typing their form, detected fields are automatically added to sidebar for easy preview of what inputs exist in the form.

There's a problem with this: it's annoying, because it's distracting. While I'm typing text to the editor, I want to focus on it, but if something is flashing in my field of view, it naturally draws my attention.

If we debounce parseFields(), it's instantly one distraction less.

I would like more input on this. I personally like this feature because it tells me if I forgot to name a field and gives me feedback if the form names are stupid like "field_21321", which often happens when copying forms from other sites.

Does it have to happen instantly? When you stop typing, it's 300ms (or whatever gets defined) and the feedback is there.

I agree debouncing is a good idea. :+1: Anyone got time to implement?
