Change the type search API to allow users to search for functions returning a type in addition to instances of that type
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

As an user I would like to be able to search the application not only from its type, but also for functions that return types (eg list generics).

The idea of this ticket (that is a follow up of the engineer meeting we had last week), is to allow the user to change what they search for on the main ZObject page, allowing them to also search for functions and not just types.

Possible blockers:

  • when searching for function I may not be able to know if a function return another type or a value and therefore selecting it may break the UI! I will investigate as part of this ticket

We discussed two possible approaches for this, and I was originally suggesting to use the mode selector here just as in other places, as can be seen here:

mode-selector.png (113×289 px, 8 KB)

Instead Geno suggested that we extend the search to automatically not only search for Z4s but also for Z8s that would return a Z4. For that we will add a column on the labels table with the "resulting type" or "effective type" or whatever, and make that available for search. In that case we can show types and functions that return types together.

Once that is done on the backend, we still now need to be able to use these functions effectively. Thus this task is marked dependent on T262089

DVrandecic added a comment.EditedDec 8 2021, 1:54 AM

This should be an option against the backend (not in the UX!), i.e. I should be able to state whether 1) I want only Z4s, or 2) Z4s and Z8s which return a Z1 or a Z4.

Hi Denny, you can just go on NotWIki and search for "typed pair" or "typed
map" they are Function that return type :)
