@tgirod - that's a great point. There certainly could be a sorting step before the map is serialized. I think A-Z is pretty common for select dropdowns in a UI. What do you think? If you're interested in taking a swing at this in a PR, please feel free to do so.
@nilslice well, that's a pretty low hanging fruit, I might have a try :smile:
@tgirod sounds great! let me know if you have any issues or questions
This hasn't been implemented yet, but it reads like a good idea. Maybe the community could pick this up? Labelled.
Hi guys, this looks like a nice to have feature so I've been trying to make this works. But I realized that the code for this feature have it's own repo at https://github.com/bosssauce/reference. It was included in ponzu repo also at addons/github.com/bosssauce/reference/reference.go
So should I update the code on ponzu repo? bosssauce/reference repo? or both?
Hi @junnotantra I'm not sure, select has many use cases beyond the reference add-on, but there may be something that might need replicating in the add-on, so it's a great point.
I would focus on the core ponzu-cms functionality, and if the case, flag that there are changes needed in that add-on, so it does the same thing in respect of sorting.
Thanks for taking the time to investigate this, as always, shout if the community can help with the development piece.
oops, wrong account
Oh, so that's why there are some similar code about select on ponzu repo alone. I think I will update all of them (on both ponzu & bosssauce repo) to be sorted alphabetically.
Will create the PR later today.
@junnotantra - great question, and thanks for taking time to explore this. it would be great to have your help on the feature.
to add context, the reference
package was designed as an addon to Ponzu in a way to prove how "external" code could be integrated into the project, but remain external. I think that it was a worthy experiment, but if you find that the code could be more easily integrated into Ponzu directly (as a core internal component of the editor
package (similar to the editor.Input
, editor.Select
, etc elements), then I fully support that approach. I don't think it's necessary for the reference
package to be externalized. It seems that @olliephillips has a similar opinion on this, so unless I've read wrong, I believe we're on the same page here!
I'll leave it up to you to make the decision on how you want to proceed, but if we can bring reference
into Ponzu directly, and not have it as a vendored
dependency, that would be great.
Let me know if you have any issues with this, just leave a note here in this issue.
Thanks!
Hi @nilslice, it's true that integrate the reference
to ponzu core is great but I've decided not to do it for now.
The first reason is if we move reference
to ponzu core, then there will be no more example about how external code can be integrated to ponzu. I think it would be better if we can find a replacement about this external integration example before moving reference
to ponzu core.
The second reason is bosssauce/reference
are imported on generated content source code. I still haven't learn how code geeration on ponzu works in order to "internalize" the reference
.
Please help take a look at my PRs above. Thanks!
@junnotantra This is now merged to ponzu-dev. Thanks for picking the issue up. Closing this issue.
I see there is a
Sortable
interface that allows to sort items by date. Is there something equivalent to sort items in the SelectRepeater ? From the generated code I see the content of the select is extracted from amap[string]string
, hence the random order.In term of usability, I think it would be better to be able to sort the content one way or another - or at least make the order stable.
