### Chode
TODO - insert image here
## in short
injects the best stack overflow answer you need directly into sublime without leaving sublime.
## NOTE -
so chode can get blocked. (not surprised it was a proof of concept). If it stops working just visit a url in your browser...
i.e:
http://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=relevance&q=compare%20arrays%20python
and click the captcha button. it will now work again. I will try setup proper access via the API rather than scrape when i get time.
## About
Chode is a Sublime Plugin to help you CHeat at cODE. I wrote it in few hours and is a working proof of concept.
So I often write pseudo code / comments when developing or stubbing out an app or piece of functionality as a series of steps. i.e.
```
# create some class
# create some function
# loop through array compare this and that
# split out last item if is bigger than
# add it to the array and dispatch and event
# delete the mongo database
```
etc
I then go about writing the real code, comment at a time. This is also useful when delegating work or showing others how you're thinking of solving a problem. You can stub whole applications quickly.
Most people use Stackoverflow a lot. Even if you think you know the answer, It's useful to check incase there's a newer or better way to do things.
I figured it would be cool if code comments could quickly become code examples. pseudo code + stackoverflow = Chode. It took just a few hours to get a diiiiirty 'my first sublime plugin' working prototype and here it is.
## Usage
Chode runs when you save.
IMPORTANT - It only analyses the line your cursor is currently on.
If the line starts with a comment, followed by a 'p', then a colon...
```
ie. python
#p:
or javascript
//p:
```
then everything after those characters will get sent to stackoverflow as a query. the top link is selected, then the best answer from that link inserted into your code.
i.e
```
#p: a singleton in python
```
click on that line, press save, would become...
```
#p: a singleton in python
```
REMEMBER - To work your cursor must be ON THE LINE YOU WANT TO RUN and then press save.
why not try some of these examples. install plugin, paste these into a document, put cursor on line, press save.
```
#p: css round corners
#p: abstract class java
#p: reverse array in java
# NOTICE THIS ONE HAS A PARAMETER - see about them below
#p:compare arrays python :v
```
The code block from the top post is injected into your code.
## PARAMETERS
```
:v
```
makes it verbose. which means it add the whole post not just the first code block. Without the :v flag we only paste the first code block
try it yourself
```
#p:compare arrays python :v
```
or
```
#p:compare arrays python
```
will get very different results
## EXAMPLE
These 2 images show a BEFORE and AFTER, non verbose, code injection when pressing save on a line of 'chode'...
## Installation
Download this whole folder and put in Sublime Packages folder, on my mac it looks like this...
```
/Users/mike/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/Chode
```
restart and you're good to go. I will hopefully make it all more proper soon and get into PackageControl
## FUTURE
```
• detect current language by getting filename. auto search on that language
• have some parameters i.e.
#p: some question :css :v
the :css parameter search in css even tho im in a .html file. or .js file.
paramters to return second / third answer?
paramters to return answers from 2nd 3rd results. or newest or other filters?
settings with various default. i.e. verbose / non verbose.
:gist - instead of checking stackoverflow check gist - (DO LOADS OF THESE?)
```
if popular write same plugin for other tools??? who knows.
