Build UI Library Available for Extensions

Es werden keine Dateien oder Tests genannt. Beginne mit der Überprüfung der Erweiterungsarchitektur von CodeEditKit und der vorgeschlagenen Navigator-, Inspector- und Debug-Oberflächen und kläre anschließend, welche Komponenten und Erweiterungsziele im Umfang enthalten sind; für den Abschluss sind ein abgestimmtes API-Design und ein abgestimmter Komponentenbereich erforderlich.

We should allow extension developers to use a library of standardized UI components so that we can ensure a consistent visual design throughout CodeEdit and it's extensions.

The following UI components will need to be available for extensions to use for views in the navigator, inspector, and debug areas:

• Stacks
  • HStack
  • VStack
  • ZStack
• List
  • Section
    • SectionHeading
  • ListItem
  • TreeListItem
  • ListItemDetails
• Grid
• Menu
  • MenuItem
• Button
• Popover
• Pickers
  • Segmented/Menu-style Picker (Select)
  • Color Picker (Swatch)
  • Date/Time Picker

Possible UI elements (need further elaboration):

• Tabs
• Tab

Note: some of these are standard to SwiftUI however depending on our architecture we may need to expose these through CodeEditKit.

Other considerations:

• We could possibly use this UI library internally.
• If we decide to build a JavaScript API, we'd also need to create a set of React components.

We should also keep in mind what we plan to allow developers to extend. This might include:

• Navigators
• Inspectors
• Debuggers (is that what we want to call these?)
• Previews
• Languages/Grammars (what should this include?)
• Commands
• Formatters
• Validators (places warnings and errors in code)
• Snippets
• Code completions
• Project Templates
• Task Runners (not sure about the accuracy of this name - provide necessary fields to configure tasks for a particular language/framework)
