List Of Functions & Classes

[david.wylie]

In the same way desktop IDEs do, it would be nice to have a clickable list of functions (including server callable) and class definitions, which when clicked take us to them.

I’ve got projects with many modules and it can sometimes be an exercise in brute force to find what I’m looking for.

As a workaround, for apps of that size, I use Anvil’s Git integration, to get a local copy of all the app’s files. Then I apply a smart editor or IDE (or grep) to my local copies, for such lookups.

Of course, such lookups aren’t literally inside the IDE. It’s more useful for reference, in its own window, while editing something else in the IDE. And you may need to frequently Save (in the IDE) and then git pull (on the PC), lest you end up grepping stale code…

Even if it’s only for the current source file, I find this kind of listing (courtesy Notepad++)

vastly more helpful for navigation than this one:

The latter is, alas, mostly noise (to me). But the former distills critical information in a useful format. I’d trade for the function listing any day.

Add symbols panel to the IDE

As some of my files get larger, I’m losing my spot in them. I’ve found the keyboard shortcuts to be very helpful, but I’d like to see a list of symbols and function definitions similar to how it is on Github. [image] Does this functionality exist on the Anvil editor?
