Bring your Sublime Text 3 views to life. This is not a plugin but a utility module for creating "live" regions in a view.

Sublime Text 3 : sublime_live

This is a Sublime Text 3 module to give plugin developers the ability to make areas of pages clickable or live.

It works by hanging what we refer to as a sublime_live.LiveView of a sublime.View, this is used to extend sublime.View's functionality. We also introduce the concept of live regions, which are sublime_live.LiveRegion. These are wrappers of sublime.Region that when added to a LiveView allow a developer to hang functionality off areas of a view. Because sublime_live.LiveRegion's are wrappers of sublime.Region's a developer can also give a LiveRegion different background, foreground and caret colors to the rest of the page, as they can already do with sublime.Regions when adding then to a sublime.View.

For some simple examples of what is possible see: sublime_live_console sublime_live_color_schemes sublime_live_tictactoe

I see this really as providing a developer with the ability to write plugins that maybe provide interactive access to API's or other functionality that users desire.

Install:

On it's own, this module does nothing. You need to place it in your plugin or somewhere where your plugin can import and use it.

Note

One important note:
    You must import the LiveEventListener for clicks to be heard and acted upon.
        from .sublime_live import UpdateLiveViewCommand, LiveEventListener
