Project-specific activation of plugins and snippets

[Mode7James]

I want the ability to add plugins to my project manifest. The same goes for code snippets & tags, it would be great if Sublime recognized these files within the project or a select folder or even in the project's includes manifest.

For instance some projects I use jQuery, which there's a great plugin and snippets for, however other projects I may use another conflicting library, where the jQuery syntax conflicts. I know I can switch the syntax based on my file but it would be much easier to just have a list of included snippets and plugins that gets loaded based on the project's config file. This would also allow me to write a plugin that can make a list of all dependent files in a library and create a quick list of tags for project-specific code completion, with support for project-specific included libraries.

Nobody has any thoughts on this feature request? I have many external libraries that I'd like to include in my project for code completion, but this is dependent again on the specific project. I would like to write a "external libraries" plugin that allows you to "include" external packages and snippets, but it only applies to that project.

Code from Package Control may give some pointers, where it offers the ability to disable or enable certain Packages:

Code: Select all

class DisablePackageCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self):
        manager = PackageManager()
        packages = manager.list_all_packages()
        self.settings = sublime.load_settings('Global.sublime-settings')
        disabled_packages = self.settings.get('ignored_packages')
        if not disabled_packages:
            disabled_packages = []
        self.package_list = list(set(packages) - set(disabled_packages))
        self.package_list.sort()
        if not self.package_list:
            sublime.error_message(('%s: There are no enabled packages' +
                'to disable.') % __name__)
            return
        self.window.show_quick_panel(self.package_list, self.on_done)

    def on_done(self, picked):
        if picked == -1:
            return
        package = self.package_list[picked]
        ignored_packages = self.settings.get('ignored_packages')
        if not ignored_packages:
            ignored_packages = []
        ignored_packages.append(package)
        self.settings.set('ignored_packages', ignored_packages)
        sublime.save_settings('Global.sublime-settings')
        sublime.status_message(('Package %s successfully added to list of ' +
            'disabled packages - restarting Sublime Text may be required') %
            package)

You could perhaps cause your Packages to be enabled/disabled from a TextCommand. Alternatively, this could be checked using the on_load event; although, this would cause your code to run every time you open a file.

[I apologise if I've misunderstood your question.]

Yeah, I think we'll need to live with something manual for the time being. It would be nice to be able to use Sublime as a foundation for a fully-functional IDE, that can be used with external libraries.
