Sebastian Rothbucher commented on COUCHDB-2160:
-----------------------------------------------
definitely +1 on the possibility of editing a string verbatim. Imagine e.g. a
couchDB document containing an angularJS-Controller function. it would be
"controller: {"function blaController($http){\n\t$http({method:\"GET\" (and so
on) - the backslashes will kill you. BTW: see any map / reduce function in the
"normal" source view: same thing.
But maybe we don't even need a full-fledged 2nd view - and can provide an even
better support than Fouton had: imagine the cursor is placed over a string
(with quotes, newlines, etc. escaped) and pressing a button "edit this string
in a new window" (I'll attach a screen in a second). A window opens up, one can
edit the controller function, map function, etc. and press "save" to get it
back into the Fauxon plain-JSON editor. Nicely escaped, off course.
I started a small prototype at
https://github.com/sebastianrothbucher/couchdb/compare/2160-string-edit to make
it more clear (and I'll attach a screenshot).
To do cool stuff with angular and others I'd find this very useful. Fauxton is
the one-stop-shop for CouchDB so far, and I'd not like to have a separate
dialog just to conveniently store some JavaScript. Rather, I'd prefer the
Fauxton-all-you-need-one-stop-shop.
Is this a way of moving forward? I'd certainly volunteer to implement that...

> Futon provides two representation of documents: raw JSON and, how I called
> it, fields-view where document is represented in nicer k-v table form. This
> representation is very user friendly, since you don't have to care about JSON
> syntax - you don't even have to know about it. You just double clicks on
> value, enters something and Futon guesses right type for the input. No
> commas, no quotes, no brackets, just keys and values.
> Currently, Fauxton has no such view providing documents representation only
> as raw JSON (thought it has very rich editor for it).
