Auto expand control type object with providing a boolean "autoexpand: true / false"

[mesihtasci]

I would like to have a feature, where an option can be passed to the control panel, where an object type control can be auto expanded recursively, as it is a pain if you have a complex object. You dont want to expand all of the children manually to change something. It would be best to have a parameter called autoexpand and we could set it to true or false.

Currently it would look like this:

In future it could look like this, depending on what value the user uses in the autoexpand parameter.

I think for now monkey-patch the html with auto-clicker script will be the simplest. If you want, you can use this project as a sample

const observer = new MutationObserver(() => {
    const expandButtons = [...document.querySelectorAll('button[type=button] > span')]
        .filter((el) => el.innerHTML === 'RAW')
        .map((el) => el.closest('button'));
    for (const button of expandButtons) {
        if (!button.classList.contains(EXPANDED_CLASS)) {
            button.classList.add(EXPANDED_CLASS);
            button.click();
        }
    }
});
observer.observe(document.body, {
    childList: true,
    subtree: true,
});

P.S. Check webpack config in config/main. After production build, the patch will be installed automatically

Converting this to a discussion. We’re reserving feature issues for things that are on our short-term roadmap. We’ll check back periodically to see whether this is a good candidate to be added. If this feature would be useful to you, please upvote!
