474535 - Server service endpoint to show the files in a project

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Skywriter Graveyard :: Server, defect, P2)

Description

[Dion Almaer]

For the file popup opener, I want to do what textmate does and narrow down the files in your project as you type.

Rather than cache the file names, I think it will be good to use the server and thus have an API:

/project/[projectname]/showfiles?q=[query]

which returns a JSON array that includes all matches, and the filename, full path, and potentially meta data.

What do you think Kevin?

Sure, no problem. I'd worry about latency, but I guess it's been found through other "suggest"-style interfaces that latency is not as big an issue as people had expected.

This bug was filed before Bespin went public and it currently targeted for the 0.1 line of development (or no line at all). Since there is unlikely to be any further 0.1.x release, please re-evaluate this bug: Has it already been fixed? Should it be pushed to a later release? Or is it no longer relevant?

[This has been a mass public service announcement.]

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: Server.

This bug was originally targeted for 0.1.x, but there will be no more releases on that line. Please reevaluate this bug to determine whether it has been fixed (and note the changeset), or if it should be targeted for a later release.

[Mass comment to all open 0.1.x bugs.]
