Previously During Searching the Connection with mpd client was utilised
to get the title for the files this was slowing the search with large
number of files. Now after adding the Title field to the struct the
Field is accessed instead of querying the server this has lead to faster
searches.
[[ Please Note the Title of a Folder would be the last accessed
track from the FileMap. ]]
Searching the Global Database although is enough but I have felt a need to have a
quick and fast search option to search the current buffer.
Buffer Search is also one of the views It can be only turned on if the File Browser
has focus. ( Thinking of making it global ). The Searching is done
through the fuzzy module. FileNode now implements the Source Interface.
The Changed Function of the Search Bar checks for text changes and then
modifies the Matches Variable which is used by the Update Function to
Draw the Results. The Results have the Matching Characters Highlighted
Differently. Maximum of 15 results are displayed to avoid lag. Upon
Selecting the Result through the Search Bar navigation is possible and
selection of the item is done the same way it works for file Browser.
After Selection the Focus is returned Back to the File Browser. For The
Tracks only the title is used for searching.
Globals are no longer needed instead I am connecting each part with (
what were previously ) globals. Also Renaming SetRenderer to
ConnectRenderer which describes the name more precisely
Previously I was using the InsidePlaylist and InsideSearchView boolean
values which was a very hacky and unscalable way. Instead I am using a
focus map which can be queried to check which view has focus. Also the
Pages Implementation is kind of on hold because it has a lot of problems
for e.g resizing doesn't seem to work as I imagined. I am keeping that
Idea on hold right now.
This is a very simple Implementation of searching like playlist view
and file view there is an boolean value that is checked in the draw
function to check if whether or not to draw the Search view
Later on I am thinking of rewriting this whole mechanism with pages
which will make this more modular.
The Boolean values are set and unset by the navigation menu and the done
functions.
Following Changes have been made:
1. conn -> CONN
2. CONN is now a global as a lot of functions were requiring it and
passing them as a parameter didn't seem intuitive.
3. In progressBar.go now we are sending only the short path instead of
absolute path.
Following Changes have been made:
1. Using GenerateMappings() function
2. Using the KEY_MAP map to handle events which shortens the code
and adds modularity.
Following changes have been made:
1. Moving the getMusicDirectory() to config package
2. Moving the config.go to config package
3. Generating a Function Map that will be used for Generating keymappings in main.go
4. Using the config packge in main.go
5. First we are reading the user configuration values with
config.ReadConfig() and then we are reading the mappings with
config.ReadMappings() with the help of Function Map that is
generated.
- Added A new Struct Application which has all the other components as
its fields
-- the `newApplication()` Function returns a pointer to the newly
created Application from which other fields can be accessed. The
fields are as follows
| App *tview.Application
| expandedView *tview.Table
| Navbar *tview.Table
| searchBar *tview.Table
| pBar *progressBar
- Minor changes to main.go
Using Switch case for mappings and removed Cycling
The Feature of Cycling through all the windows now seems useless instead
I am assigning each of the windows a number and one can cycle through
them using the number keys.
Also now the default window is the playlist window instead of the files
tab. The mappings are separated with the help of the global boolean value
InPlaylist
Heavy Refactoring is needed for this. The Required Mappings have been
added and the Delay in keyboard input has been fixed. The Delay in
keyboard input was due to Queueing the events ( although it was a go
routine ). The Solution was to use just Draw() Method from tview.Application.
