Visual studio plugin that replaces content by eval() it

equality README

This plugin use eval(), custom functions, methods and external libraries to evaluate and replace javascript content

You can use multiples cursors

You can calculate

=2+2 //Press Ctrl + Enter

You can create personal vars

Add equality.vars in your users settings

"equality.vars": {
    "name": "Javier Artero",
    "company": "MarsBased SL",
    "github": "https://github.com/javierartero"
}

Reload window

When you call a =e you will be calling equality.vars

=e.plugin //Press Ctrol + Enter

Help

Now the plugin has a help system that will appear when it is not able to evaluate the content

You can open all the help elements from the method

=help

You can use the chroma.js

chroma.js is a tiny JavaScript library (14kB) for dealing with colors!

• read colors from a wide range of formats
• analyze and manipulate colors
• convert colors into wide range of formats
• linear and bezier interpolation in different color spaces

You can use the lodash.js

Lodash makes JavaScript easier by taking the hassle out of working with arrays, numbers, objects, strings, etc. Lodash’s modular methods are great for:

• Iterating arrays, objects, & strings
• Manipulating & testing values
• Creating composite functions

You can use the "faker.js"

faker.js is an external library generate massive amounts of fake

=faker.name.findName() //Press Ctrol + Enter

• faker.js gitHub
• JSDoc API Browser

Custom functions and methods

rand(min:number = 0, max:number = 100)

Default arguments min:number = 0, max:number = 100

=rand(-100,100)

rgb(r:number, g:number, b:number)

hex(hex:string)

This method allows the use of shorthand '# ff0'

Put an equality in your life...

vscode-equality's Issues

rand() doesn't generate zero

When I enter rand(-2, 2) multiple times with multi-cursor and hit Ctrl+Enter, something like this shows up:

1
2
=rand(-2, 2)
1
=rand(-2, 2)
1
2
2
-2

I tried it several times and I found out that no zero was generated. I assume that those rands, that don't convert into numbers are exactly those which should be zeros, but they don't get converted for some reason.

Add autocomplete

Add conversion of cooking measurements

The majority of cooking recipes on the internet, on books and magazines use inexact, non standard measurement units (cups, teaspoons, tablespoons) or outdated imperial or British units of measurement.

Converting them by hand, one by one, is cumbersome and prone to errors.

Any automatic methods of conversion that exist require specific software and are limited to do generic conversions based on the equivalence of volume to volume. None take into account the density of the ingredient.

How is this appropriate for a text editor?

A text editor is most accessible and easiest way to enter information and is freely available at no cost.

How is this appropriate for your plugin?

Your plugin seems capable of doing what I have in mind. It already does math operations.

How would it work?

The user selects text following the structure, 1 cup of flour, selects convert to grams, the plugin would then read the equivalents from a file and convert to the correct value.

1 cup of flour would be converted into 130 g of flour
3 cups of flour would be converted into 390 g of flour

The file containing the equivalents would be provided by the user and follow the scheme
of one conversion per line:

1 cup of flour == 130 g

PS
I don't have any background in programming and perhaps none of I have written makes sense. Please, even if this is not appropriate for this plugin, could you consider making one that does this.

Thank you.

Add support to multiple cursors

Can't generate collections

=Array(100).map(i => ({code: faker.address.countryCode(), country: faker.address.country() }))

Results in :

error "'command 'extension.equality' not found" when execute in version 0.2.0

command 'extension.equality' not found
