Hyperclick

Pluggable text-clicking UI for Atom.

Hyperclick is triggered by two events:

<alt> or <alt-mousemove> underlines clickable text under the mouse.
<alt-mousedown> performs the action associated with the clickable text.
<cmd-alt-enter> performs the action on the text under the cursor.

Provider API

Example

Declare the provider callback in the package.json (e.g. getProvider).

"providedServices": {
  "hyperclick.provider": {
    "versions": {
      "0.0.0": "getProvider"
    }
  }
}

Define the provider callback in lib/main.js.

export function getProvider() {
  return {
    getSuggestionForWord(
      textEditor: TextEditor,
      text: string,
      range: Range
    ): ?HyperclickSuggestion {
      return {
        // The range(s) to underline as a visual cue for clicking.
        range,
        // The function to call when the underlined text is clicked.
        callback() {},
      };
    },
  };
}

Details

You must define one of these methods on the provider:

getSuggestionForWord(textEditor: TextEditor, text: string, range: Range)

Use this to provide a suggestion for single-word matches. Optionally set wordRegExp on the provider to adjust word-matching.
- textEditor: The text editor the event originated from.
- text: The string containing the word under the mouse.
- range: The buffer position of text in the text editor.
getSuggestion(textEditor: TextEditor, position: Point)

Use this to provide a suggestion if it can have non-contiguous ranges. A primary use-case for this is Objective-C methods.
- textEditor: The text editor the event originated from.
- position: The buffer position of the mouse in the text editor.

The methods return a suggestion or a Promise that resolves to a suggestion:

range: A range or array of ranges to underline as a visual cue for clicking.

To distinguish ranges and arrays, this can't be a Range-compatible array. For example, use new Range([0, 0], [0, 10]) instead of [[0, 0], [0, 10]].
callback: The function to call when the underlined text is clicked.

If there are multiple possibilities, this can be an array of objects with:
- title: A string to present in the UI for the user to select.
- rightLabel(optional): An indicator denoting the "kind" of suggestion this represents
- callback: The function to call when the user selects this object.
