State presets about histoire HOT 6 CLOSED

Yeah why not having all of this in a dropdown at the top of the Controls tab 👍

from histoire.

In a way, you can already do presets with different variants (this has the advantage of already having UI and props - title/icon/etc.)

I'm more in favor of having a way for the user to save and load state without adding a new API in parallel to the variants.

@Akryum So, saving and loading presets from local storage should be good?

Solution 1
It could be something as simple as a "Save" and "Reset" buttons:

• The "Save" button would save the state to local storage and display this state as default
• The "Reset" button would remove the state from local storage and display the default state

Solution 2
A more advanced version would have a "Create" button with a text input to write the name of the preset.
Then there would be a dropdown with all the saved presets (+ the default one at the top)
And for each selected preset (but the default) a "Save" and "Delete" buttons.

Solution 3
Same as solution 2, but you would be able to create additional default presets with custom names

All solutions would only read/write from localstorage, so no additional API. (except for solution 3, but still no write)

Wdyt? I believe it would be very useful during development.

I'd like a mix of solution 1 and 2:

• A Presets tab next to controls and docs
• A 'Save' to preset button that instantly creates an unamed state preset and selects it as active (automatically restored onward)
• A list of state presets
• The first item is 'Initial state' from the story (active by default)
• For each state preset:
  • Click: Activate (and restore automatically)
  • Double-click on name: Rename the preset
  • Rename icon button
  • Delete icon button

I'm not sure a preset tab would be a good solution, since it will heavily depend on the controls.
I'm afraid there would be a lot of back and forth between the controls tab and the preset tab.

I think the presets should at least be quickly accessed with a drop-down at the top of the controls tab (and we could display the drop-down only if there's at least one preset)

Wdyt? Btw, this could also be a plugin that people could activate or not if you prefer.
