Description

This is not intended to be final, but I had some time so I thought I would work on this. First pass ended up being easier than I was expecting.

• Implements [FEATURE] Let-in syntax in simplexpr #408
• Allows the usage of true and false within idents, so long as it is not the entire thing.

Usage

(defvar somevar {{ "key": "Some Value" }})
(label
  :text { let it = somevar.value in "Here Is ${it}" end })

Showcase

My current workspace indicator:

Where I have a script that outputs the following on workspace changes:

{
  "1": {
    "dis": -1,
    "ex": false,
    "urg": false
  },
  ...
}

And the let-in syntax to pull out the relevant information for each part

(defwidget workspaceIndicator [num monitor]
  (box :orientation "v"
    (button
      :class {
        let
          ws = active_workspaces["${num}"],
          foc = ws.dis == monitor ? " focused" : "",
          vis = ws.dis >= 0 ? " visible" : "",
          ex = ws.ex ? " exists" : ""
        in
          "indicator " + foc + vis + ex
        end
      }
      :onclick "scripts/workspaces set ${num}"
      (box :orientation "v"
        (box :orientation "h"
          (box :class "inner"))))))

Diffs containing fuller example of usage

Additional Notes

I borrowed the testing macro from #577
