(Started a new thread because the old one refers to an old version in the title and can’t be edited.)
sublime_lib is a Package Control dependency providing a variety of convenience features for other packages to use. Version 1.4 is now available with a number of new features and bug fixes. Highlights:
ActivityIndicator
A high-quality implementation of the spinner that many packages use:
import sublime_plugin
from sublime_lib import ActivityIndicator
class ExampleCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
with ActivityIndicator(self.window, 'Example Command'):
do_expensive_operation()
This will show an animated activity indicator in the window status bar while do_expensive_operation() runs:
Example Command [= ]
Example Command [ = ]
Example Command [ = ]
etc.
(Remember, always run long-running operations in the async thread or in another thread to avoid freezing the interface.)
QueryContextOperator
An enum with an apply method to simplify on_query_context implementations:
import sublime_plugin
from sublime_lib.flags import QueryContextOperator
class MyListener(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_query_context(self, view, key, operator, operand, match_all):
if key == "my_example_key":
value = get_some_value()
return QueryContextOperator(operator).apply(value, operand)
else:
return None
