11-11: Approved: Addition ofsettingsproperty aligns with PR objectives.The inclusion of the
settingsproperty in the destructuring assignment is consistent with the PR's goal of fetching settings from a JSON API. This change enhances the plugin's capability to handle configuration data.However, to improve the documentation:
- Consider adding an explanation of the
settingsproperty's purpose and structure.- Provide an example of how to use the
settingsobject within the plugin code.Here's a suggested addition to the documentation:
### 8. Using settings The `settings` object, extracted alongside `method` and `parameters`, contains configuration data fetched from the JSON API. You can use these settings to customize your plugin's behavior. For example: ```js if (method === "query") { const customGreeting = settings.greeting || "Hello World"; console.log(JSON.stringify({ "result": [{ "Title": customGreeting, "Subtitle": `Showing your query parameters: ${parameters}. Click to open Flow's website`, // ... rest of the result object }] })); }This example demonstrates how to use a custom greeting from the
settingsobject, falling back to a default value if not provided.--- Line range hint `1-100`: **Enhance documentation with error handling and testing sections** The current documentation provides a comprehensive guide for basic plugin development. To further improve its value, consider adding the following sections: 1. Error Handling: Explain how to implement robust error handling in the plugin, including how to communicate errors back to Flow Launcher. 2. Testing: Provide guidance on writing and running tests for the plugin to ensure its reliability and ease of maintenance. These additions would help developers create more robust and maintainable plugins. Here's a suggested outline for these new sections: ```markdown ### 9. Error Handling Implement proper error handling to ensure your plugin gracefully handles unexpected situations: ```js try { // Your plugin logic here } catch (error) { console.log(JSON.stringify({ "result": [{ "Title": "An error occurred", "Subtitle": error.message, "IcoPath": "Images\\error.png" }] })); }10. Testing
Write tests to ensure your plugin functions correctly:
- Install a testing framework like Jest:
npm install --save-dev jest- Create a
__tests__directory and add test files, e.g.,main.test.js- Write tests for your plugin's functions
- Run tests with
npm testExample test:
test('do_something_for_query opens correct URL', () => { const mockOpen = jest.fn(); jest.mock('open', () => mockOpen); do_something_for_query('https://example.com'); expect(mockOpen).toHaveBeenCalledWith('https://example.com'); });<details> <summary>:toolbox: Tools</summary> <details> <summary>Markdownlint</summary><blockquote> 14-14: Column: 1 Hard tabs (MD010, no-hard-tabs) </blockquote></details> </details> </blockquote></details> </blockquote></details> <details> <summary>:scroll: Review details</summary> **Configuration used: CodeRabbit UI** **Review profile: CHILL** <details> <summary>:inbox_tray: Commits</summary> Files that changed from the base of the PR and between 015d00f90dda641daeb3828e8841deb40ca348bb and 7d8da3a72c285903c6784a26527f83b7d8681006. </details> <details> <summary>:ledger: Files selected for processing (1)</summary> * nodejs-write-code.md (1 hunks) </details> </details> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment by CodeRabbit for review status -->
