Introduction to the Editor perspective – developing automation further
While code generation takes place automatically during workflow creation, the editor perspective helps us develop the automation scripts further at the code level. The Editor perspective is similar to the other editors, such as Visual Studio Code, BlueJ, or Eclipse, that you may have used in your development career and provides comparable features. Some of these features are listed here:
- Code autocomplete
- Syntax highlighting
- In-built quick help (F1)
- Go to Workflow (takes you to the relevant node in the Workflow perspective)
- Show in Code Map (shows a navigate code map with the selected code snippet highlighted)
- Show in Page Viewer
The major components of the Editor perspective are shown in the following screenshot:
