I can’t tell if it’s a parody or an actual genius idea.
I would like to see the debugger give a list of all these boolean values and watch them toggle in real time. That would be far more useful.
fwiw I opened an issue on the vs code repo. It already got a downvote and the issue was reassigned from one maintainer to another. Popcorn is tightly secured.
Previously I was able to search for “true” and “false” in my codebase. How do I do that now? VS Code has a new search interface specifically for toggles. It’s closed by default, but you can open it by clicking the “Toggle Search Toggle” toggle.
Yo dawg, I heard you liked toggles so we gave you a toggle to search for toggles in your toggle
Also, the section defining behaviour for null and undefined values are kind of bonkers.
Buuut, a nice visual nonetheless. I don’t see myself using it though.
I, uh, actually kind of like the idea. If you just visually converted primitives to a toggle after you type true/false, and let you delete it like any other text, it could be a small convenience on any flags you might change during the development process.
As long as it’s not literally a toggle that you can interact with.
I can only imagine the horrors of accidentally clicking in the editor while selecting some text and quietly changing certificateIsValid = false; to true or something like that.
Oh, I could easily see a trainwreck of an implementation. But if this was just a display option like color coding keywords and variables, but you could click to change the underlying true/false? I might add it.
More technical details in the full article ;)
It looks neat, but I think I’ll keep my true and false. I don’t like chhannngggeeee!
Ngl I dont hate it.
