Custom script builder

@manhtai Below are the main functionalities I could think of for this feature. Please confirm and add more if anything is missing:

• an input field
• a custom script field (CodeMirror input) for the user to apply transformation on the input
• an output field (to display transformed input)
• a Save Script button (clicking this will add an item to the left menu, with customized menu name & routing & icon defined by the user). When user closes the app, this new menu item should persist

@dmtri I thought about 2 modes here:

• Edit mode:

  • Title: For left menu display
  • Default value: For input placeholder
  • Forward function field: CodeMirror field, which will receive one param input and return one output
  • Inverse function field: Should we support this now?
  • Save button: To save the script (maybe autosave for the sake of simplicity)

• Render mode: It looks like our one-to-one form as of now with:

  • Left menu with title & path
  • Input field: Render with a default value
  • Output field: Result of applying the function to input field
  • Should we support inverse function now?

What do you think?

@manhtai the Edit Mode idea sounds good. I'm suggesting 2 more buttons so user could manage their customs scripts (see screenshots)

@dmtri How about this idea: A new custom script menu item, just like a normal item, but when you choose to save the script, it will create a new menu item instead.

The delete button is a must, but we can move it up as a normal button (just like the Copy).

The Create button may be ok but I don't know where to put it so as to feel good 🤔
