tson's Issues

Don't save filtered json tree

Add feature of save tree to json

sort tree node

can't work edit json with $EDITOR on MacOS

Display parent nodes when search result

Add feature of read json from url

Consider more conventional tree navigation behaviors

I find it helpful when navigating any tree structure to be able to collapse and expand all nodes, but also go <-- (left) and --> (right) to move into & out of the structure's depth.

Right now, LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys only go UP and DOWN, but would you consider having LEFT and RIGHT jump directly to the adjacent parent/child node in that direction?

Also, the key bindings are really unintuitive for non-vim users. Could we consider using SPACEBAR and SHIFT-* (etc.) for certain actions like expanding/collapsing current node, jumping up or down a page or element, etc? I don't have anything too concrete in mind, but it's a little tricky to use right out of the box. I have to keep referencing the table in the readme, but I feel like I should just be able to figure it out with my arrow keys and spacebar and ctrl/shift keys.

Additionally, the "Collapse all nodes" (H) doesn't seem to be very helpful, as it just replaces everything with a . ... which I can then edit... anyway, I just think there's some room for significant improvement here in the UI.

Add documentation of navigation

Should be nice add info of how to navigate in terminal window

Add feature of send http request and display json tree

Add test

copy node value

Refactor for use as a library

I know this sounds a bit crazy, but it would be great if this could be used as a library. Basically, separate out the parts of this tool that deal with the command line, and put the code that actually does the TUI stuff and tree nav in its own package.

For example (without having given it too much though), this would be very nice:

myJSON := []byte{...}
updatedJSON, err := tson.Edit(myJSON)
// a TUI screen would cover the terminal at this point,
// and relinquish itself when done editing, while
// returning the resulting JSON bytes

I could see myself embedding something like this into Caddy 2, which is configured entirely by JSON. But only if it can be used as a library like this.

Imagine starting up your web server in some interactive/dashboard mode, and being able to watch it in real-time in your terminal (kind of like what htop does, but just for your server), while being able to edit its configuration right there as well! Super useful for development too!

Anyway, I'm excited about this project, I hope you'll keep developing it.
