SplitView Architecture Notes
Refactoring Brackets to Support Split View with Multiple Documents requires quite a bit of hacking on the plumbing but there are only a few places that need to be heavily refactored to do so.
This is an objective view of the system.
The .content area of the application contains many widgets (in addition to the editor) that add to Bracket's user experience. These all start with the PanelManager which, for all intents and purposes, only manages the placement of these widgets.
Here's a 50,000ft view of how it's glued together:
PanelManager View which manages the placement of all panels (subviews) in the dom node .content it does not manage the status-bar.
....+-> Replace all Results Panel (subview of mustache-rendered dom node #search-results) managed by FindReplace.js
....+-> Find In Files Results Panel (subview of mustache-rendered dom node #replace-all-results) managed by FindInFiles.js
....+-> Problems (jsLint) Panel (subview of of mustache-rendered dom node #problems-panel)
Managed by CodeInspection.js
Various services create, show and manipulate these panels by rendering some HTML using Mustache and adding to the dom by calling PanelManager.createBottomPanel() which wraps the HTML snippet and inserts it into the DOM.
EditorManager Manages the creation and destruction of an editor for a document.
....+-> Editor Wraps a code mirror instance, code mirror options and provides a high level api this is basically the view attached to #editor-holder
Currently there is only 1 instance of the visible editor so its dom element is part of the base HTML and it's referenced whenever needed as $(#editor-holder)
The layout of the editor is fluid for the most part, but the height is computed by PanelManager and the editor is resized by triggering an Event and passing data with the event to tell the editor how tall it should be. The EditorManager then handles this event and sets the $(#editor-holder) to the explicit height negotiated by the panel manager. The event is passed to the Editor object which then tells codemirror to recompute its scroll state and other size related data.
EditorLayoutManager is a helper for EditorManager to compute the placement and layout of all full sized editors (inline editors are not managed here) and has various APIs for changing the layout of the editor area and placement Editor objects. The editor objects themselves are managed by the EditorManager and the EditorLayoutManager is created whenever the layout needs to change to adjust all editor sizes and placement.
EditorManager View of #editor-holder
....+-> Array[1][1] of Editor instances (.editor-pane, id=paneId)
There cannot be 0,0 (rows, columns) elements so there needs to be logic to enforce that. Initially it is 1 row 1 column so there will always be at least 1 instance of EditorManager to work on.
This API will change the layout to match rows and columns.
RULES:
- Only 1 row and 2 columns or 2 rows and 1 column are initially supported
- Any Pane created by this API initially will show the Brackets logo interstitial screen until the corresponding
EditorManagerfor that pane has been loaded with a document or image. - When a Pane is destroyed, all documents in the corresponding working set for that pane are moved to another pane's working set. Since there is only 2 panes in the initial implementation this is just a matter of collapsing them down to the remaining Pane's working set.
Creating a pane is rendered at runtime using Mustache to generate the HTML and insert it into the DOM. The Editor Instance will generate the HTML when the EditorManager asks for it and EditorPaneManager will insert it into the DOM in the appropriate place to ensure proper keyboard navigation. The generation can either be Mustache generated or simple jQuery insertion.
EditorManager will handle the PanelManager's resize event and call a function on its EditorPaneManager to update its layout.
The PanelManager computes the new size of #editory-layout-holder in its window.resize event handler and triggers an event to resize that EditorManager subscribes to. Currently PanelManager only computes the Height and passes that as data but it needs to also compute Width and pass that as well so that the EditorPaneManager can verify that the width doesn't get too lean to handle 2 editor instances. At the point that it is too lean then it will need to start resizing other columns to get a decent layout. This algorithm becomes more complex with more columns and rows. For now it can be a matter of going to something like 50%. We may want to bump up the shell's minimum width as well to avoid getting too small.
These are proposed APIs that may not be implemented initially.
height and width are passed in in pixels and converted to a percentage when affixing the CSS to the columns (e.g. width: 40%). Doing it in a percentage and only applying to all except the rightmost column and bottom most row will yield a fluid layout. The API will reject setting the width on the rightmost column. For the initial implementation we may just go with 50% splits all around without the ability to resize.
EditorManager will manage a Working Set for each of its Editor Panes. This may be abstracted and delegated into a pane object if implementation warrants but the API to get the working set will be on EditorManager to make the interface easier to use. Management of the Working Set will move from the DocumentManager into EditorManager the and the working set will no longer be a collection of Document objects. It will be an array of file names. Theoretically we could register a view factory to create a view object for each file type (images, html, css, etc...) which would provide an easy way for custom viewers. This could be extensible in some way but that work is outside the scope of this document. For the time being, we only manifest CODE and Image viewers.
Note: To abstract the working set's pane location, each editor pane is addressed by paneId rather than row,col. This is a change from the previous draft which had row, col addressable panes. Valid paneId values cannot be false, 0, null, undefined or "" so that they can be used in truthy tests.
This allows for:
- Panes to be found in the DOM by ID
- Easier to move panes around when changing layouts in the future and not break API
- less data that callers need to understand about the implementation details
These are shortcuts paneIds for APIs to avoid having to maintain a reference to the pane in which a file belongs. This also allows us to 1 API rather than 2 different APIs. One for All and one for Focused panes.
------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Constant | Usage
------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL_PANES | Perform the operation on all panes (e.g. search for fullpath in all working sets)
FOCUSED_PANE | Perform the operation on the currently focused pane (can also use EditorManager.getFocusedPane())
------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returns the editor object with the current focus
Returns an array of working set arrays.
Working sets will move from being a property of the DocumentManager and become a property of the EditorManager
The plan for migrating the working set:
A deprecation warning will be added and the function will return a unique list of all documents (not files) from all working sets by calling the various functions above, flattening and filtering the list as necessary to maintain backwards compatibility.
All core extensions and functions that use DocumentManager.getWorkingSet() will call getAllWorkingSets and return a list of working set entries who have open document objects. This will exclude things like images which is the behavior that is currently implemented.

This currently works by listening to contextmenu events on the #open_files_container. This will change to listen to contextmenu events on an .open_files_container and the WorkingSetView who attached to the .open_files_container will be maintain the paneId from the EventData it was passed during the create event so that callers (Extensions) will be able to determine which EditorPane has focus when the menu is invoked.
This will also trigger a focus action on the DOM node causing the Editor to gain focus. The Default extension, CloseOthers, will be retooled to work on the working set for the editor pane associated with the WorkingSetView that manages it and ask that EditorManager instance for the working set.
The Implementation of these functions will move from DocumentManager to EditorManager and a deprecation warning will be displayed.
Used by (pflynn.brackets.editor.nav) which has a few other working set API calls.
- Deprecation warning is displayed
- pflynn updates his extension.

Working set so far has be devoid of image files. To support images in split view, we will need to change the working set rules to allow for images to be in the working set. This means that callers of the new working set APIs will need to check to make sure they can operate on a file by getting its file type from the language manager or checking the extension. Also, File Command handlers implemented in DocumentManager will move to another layer to allow for files or documents to be targeted. Mirrored commands (e.g. Document.open mirrors File.open) for just documents will be created to make the transition easier.
The working set will basically just be a list of files that may or may not have a Document object owned by the Document Manager. The deprecated DocumentManager.getWorkingSet() will filter out any image files without a Document object.

Deprecated. Callers will get the deprecation warning and the function maps to EditorManager.getFocusedPane().getCurrentlyViewedPath()
Replaces EditorManager._showCustomViewer to create a Read Only viewer for a file.
Reimplemented as EditorManager.getFocusedEditor().getCurrentFullEditor()
The following EditorManager functions will move to Editor
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Name | Usage | Disposition
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
_openInlineWidget | Internal Inline Widget Management | Moves to Editor without inpunity
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
_toggleInlineWidget | Command Handler | Current Implementation moves to
| | Editor.
| | Command handler will call
| | _focusedEditor
| | .toggleInlineWidget()
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
_showCustomViewer | API | Illegal usage from
| | DocumentCommandHandlers
| | Command handler moves to
| | EditorCommandHandlers
| | Function is renamed to
| | EditorManager
| | createViewerForFile
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
closeInlineWidget | | Moves to Editor
| | InlineWidget.close will call
| | this.hostEditor.closeInlineWidget()
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
getInlineEditors | | Moves to Editor
| | InlineWidget
| | ._syncGutterWidths(
| | hostEditor
| | )
| | calls hostEditor.getInlineEditors()
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
getFocusedInlineWidget | | Doesn't move but passes through to
| | getFocusedEditor()
| | .getFocusedInlineWidget();
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
The initial implementation will be 2 columns x 1 row or 2 rows x 1 column. However, implementing an arbitrary number of rows and columns could be trivial using this code: https://github.com/FriendCode/codebox/blob/master/client/views/grid.js which is Apache-licensed. However, this is a fairly integral piece to codebox and depends on other codebox libraries in order to work.
The initial implementation will be mostly handled by EditorManager but EditorLayoutManager will be created just to help handle the layout. Since it's 1x1, 1x2 or 2x1 initially, it should be fairly easy to implement without the need for advanced layout mechanics.
WorkingSetView objects are created when the event EditorPaneCreated is handled. SideBarView will handle this event and create a WorkingSetView object which is bound to the working set created for the pane and passed in as event data.
#open-files-container Is a container which contains one or more .working-set-container divs in the DOM. Several 3rd Party Extensions rely or use the #open-files-container div. The Extensions which Style The elements will continue to work. The following extensions may no longer work:

zaggino.brackets-git | listens to open-files-container events | Events on child divs should continue to

---------------------------+-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
zaggino.brackets-git | iterates over child li elements | continues to work because he's using

DefaultMenus:
$("#open-files-container").on("contextmenu", function (e) {
working_set_cmenu.open(e);
});
Becomes:
$(".working-set-container").on("contextmenu", function (e) {
e.workingSetPaneId = this._paneId;
working_set_cmenu.open(e);
});When Working Set Views are constructed, information about the Pane they are associated with are passed to the constructor via event data.
Do early research on typing and scrolling performance.
