The current version of the search input prototype does not include a separate input element for the search context. Instead the search context is treated like any other filter, except we style it slightly differently (see video). This diff does a couple of things: - Adds support for value completion for the context: filter. - Renders context: filters differently from other filters in the input. - Refactors the whole suggestions implementation so that it will be easier to add new suggestion sources in the future. - Introduces a custom version of the built-in placeholder extension that allows us to overwrite when/how the placeholder should be visible. This diff also fixes an issue where we did not update the selected search context correctly when it wasn't present in a query. I also had to update @codemirror/view and @codemirror/state to fix an issue with rendering decorations. This doesn't seem to have any effect on the current search input. Unfortunately it didn't fix all the issues (which I also point out in the video). NOTE: Keep in mind that this is still a prototype and we are still verifying our approach. You might not agree with how search contexts work in this version, but that should not be the focus of the code review here. |

Frontend packages
List
- web: The web application deployed to http://sourcegraph.com/
- browser: The Sourcegraph browser extension adds tooltips to code on different code hosts.
- vscode: The Sourcegraph VS Code extension.
- extension-api: The Sourcegraph extension API types for the Sourcegraph extensions. Published as
sourcegraph. - extension-api-types: The Sourcegraph extension API types for client applications that embed Sourcegraph extensions and need to communicate with them. Published as
@sourcegraph/extension-api-types. - sandboxes: All demos-mvp (minimum viable product) for the Sourcegraph web application.
- shared: Contains common TypeScript/React/SCSS client code shared between the browser extension and the web app. Everything in this package is code-host agnostic.
- branded: Contains React components and implements the visual design language we use across our web app and e.g. in the options menu of the browser extension. Over time, components from
sharedandbrandedpackages should be moved into thewildcardpackage. - wildcard: Package that encapsulates storybook configuration and contains our Wildcard design system components. If we're using a component in two or more different areas (e.g.
web-appandbrowser-extension) then it should live in thewildcardpackage. Otherwise the components should be better colocated with the code where they're actually used. - search: Search-related code that may be shared between all clients, both branded (e.g. web, VS Code extension) and unbranded (e.g. browser extension)
- storybook: Storybook configuration.
Further migration plan
-
Fix circular dependency in TS project-references graph wildcard package should not rely on web and probably shared, branded too. Ideally it should be an independent self-contained package.
-
Decide on package naming and update existing package names. Especially it should be done for a shared package because we have multiple
sharedfolders inside of other packages. It's hard to understand from where dependency is coming from and it's not possible to refactor import paths using find-and-replace. -
Investigate if we can painlessly switch to
npmworkspaces. -
Content of packages shared and branded should be moved to wildcard and refactored using the latest FE rules and conventions. Having different packages clearly communicates the migration plan. Developers first should look for components in the wildcard package and then fall-back to legacy packages if wildcard doesn't have the solution to their problem yet.
-
shared contains utility functions, types, polyfills, etc which is not a part of the Wildcard component library. These modules should be moved into utils package and other new packages: e.g. api for GraphQL client and type generators, etc.
-
Packages should use package name (e.g.
@sourcegraph/wildcard) for imports instead of the relative paths (e.g.../../../../wildcard/src/components/Markdown) to avoid long relative-paths and make dependency graph between packages clear. (Typescript will warn if packages have circular dependencies). It's easy to refactor such isolated packages, extract functionality into new ones, or even into new repositories. -
build or config package should be added later to encapsulate all the configurations reused between packages which will allow removing
jest.config,babel.configfrom the root of the repo.
