Conversion of custom mapper from VS-Code to Sublime

[ldm1417]

Hello,

Here are the settings I'm using for the CodeMap package/extension in VS-Code:
"codemap.md": [ { "pattern": "^(\\s*)# (.*)", "clear": "#", "prefix": "--", "icon": "level1" }, { "pattern": "^(\\s*)## (.*)", "clear": "##", "prefix": "--", "icon": "level2" }, { "pattern": "^(\\s*)### (.*)", "clear": "###", "prefix": "---", "icon": "level3" }, ],

How can I convert these settings so they could be used in the Sublime as well (CodeMap in Sublime)?

In the Sublime, what file should I place them? Should I place them in %AppData%\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\User\code_map.sublime-settings ?

Thank you!

You do not need to look up the file directly. It's easier to open the plugin settings from the editor: Preferences > Package Settings > CodeMap > Edit Settings.
Read about it here.

Note that Sublime CodeMap was historically the first implementation of the code tree concept, which was later implemented for Visual Studio, VSCode and Notepad++. Thus, conceptually, it's identical to the VSCode extension that you are familiar with. However, due to the limitations of ST, the dev ST-plugin experience is somewhat different compared to VSCode. While the resemblance is significant. IE, ST does not support UI so everything is text. Meaning that there cannot be any tree-view UI element with the nodes. Thus, there is no icon, there is no tree element type, etc.

Also, do not dismiss custom mappers.
They can be incredibly simple and manageable, compared to the declarative universal mappers (regex-based mappers). This is the example of the Markdown mapper:

import codecs

map_syntax = 'Packages/User/CodeMap/custom_languages/md.sublime-syntax'

def generate(file):
    return md_mapper.generate(file)

class md_mapper():

    def generate(file):
        map = ''

        try:

            with codecs.open(file, "r") as f:
                lines = f.read().split('\n')

            line_num = 0

            for line in lines:
                line_num = line_num + 1
                line = line.lstrip()

                if len(line) == 0:
                    continue

                if line.startswith("#"):
                    max = 20
                    line = line[0:max]+'...'
                    for i in range(0, (max+3) - len(line)):
                        line = line + ' '

                    map = map + line + '    :' + str(line_num)+'\n'

        except Exception as err:
            print (err)

        return map
