Add setting to show searching result context in Tree mode

[paolosimone]

Hi @originalrusyn , thanks as usual for your feedback!

It's a reasonable request, the solution I have in mind (#45) is allowing 3 search options:

Examples searching "owner" in https://api.github.com/users/paolosimone/repos , notice the top-right eye icon

Show all [new!]

It always shows the whole json and highlights matches.
Warn: since it doesn't filter anything you'll have to scroll down to find matches

Show subtree [default]

It shows matches and their subtree.

Show matches only

Only shows exact matches.

---

This feature will be available soon in v1.1.0 v1.1.1. I will also try to add a setting to customize the default visibility mode, but it needs further investigation (see #46).

Don't forget to star the project on github! ⭐

Hi @paolosimone
Thank for your answer.

Just to double check
The "Show subtree" setting will show all properties of first element (and hide other elements) of json array for https://api.github.com/users/paolosimone/repos when I search "Merry" because the occurrence of the searching word is belong to the first element ( like on screenshot below )?

If yes, that's what I want.
Thanks a lot.

The "Show subtree" setting will show all properties of first element

nope, the "Show subtree" is the current version's default, so it will behave like your original post. Also, since "Merry" matches the value and not the key, in this case "Show subtree" and "Show matches" behaves the same.

To do what you want you will have to switch to the new "Show all" mode that will:

• collapse and fade all array items without search occurrences
• expand items with search occurrences and keep its siblings

So searching "Merry" with "Show all" will output:

To give another example with a match on array item which is not the first, searching "Navidad" will output:

As a side note, I confirm that the default search mode will be customizable in settings
