Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-11766:
------------------------------------------
bq. Out of curiosity, is it possible to add javascript widgets, such as a
filter mechanism for categories of expression, or a text box that culls the
boxes on the quick ref page as you type?
Yes, it is possible, and besides the search box it's done already for the
in-page TOC and the inline tabs as seen on a page like
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_2/adding-custom-plugins-in-solrcloud-mode.html.
Because JS only runs on the HTML pages when they're loaded, it doesn't impact
the PDF at all (as long as there isn't any information that's only in the
script, which wouldn't happen, I think, with what you're describing). We even
have the ability to set up a layout that would only call a custom JS on
Streaming Expression pages and not every other page that doesn't need it. I
would really like to add something like that, but am hampered by my inability
to write such a thing on my own.

> There are a very large number of streaming expressions and they need some
> special info design to be more easily accessible. The current way we're
> presenting them doesn't really work. This issue is to track ideas and POC
> patches for possible approaches.
> A couple of ideas I have, which may or may not all work together:
> # Provide a way to filter the list of commands by expression type (would need
> to figure out the types)
> # Present the available expressions in smaller sections, similar in UX
> concept to https://redis.io/commands. On that page, I can see 9-12 commands
> above "the fold" on my laptop screen, as compared to today when I can see
> only 1 expression at a time & each expression probably takes more space than
> necessary. This idea would require figuring out where people go when they
> click a command to get more information.
> ## One solution for where people go is to put all the commands back in one
> massive page, but this isn't really ideal
> ## Another solution would be to have an individual .adoc file for each
> expression and present them all individually.
> # Some of the Bootstrap.js options may help - collapsing panels or tabs, if
> properly designed, may make it easier to see an overview of available
> expressions and get more information if interested.
> I'll post more ideas as I come up with them.
> These ideas focus on the HTML layout of expressions - ideally we come up with
> a solution for PDF that's better also, but we are much more limited in what
> we can do there.
