(2.1.0, API) Revising the Show/Hide mechanism
-
@MichMich Did you have any concerns about making this an opt-out instead of an opt-in? I.e. make the default options
{this.identifier}instead of{}. Or is there a specific reason against it? The overall concept seems reasonable, if we assume the meaning of thehide()method always was to “keep this module hidden until I want it to reappear”.I do not think anyone does something like hiding module A from module B and then purposely showing module A again from module C. This is the only way I think of, which would make the default option using the modules identifier weird.
Helpful sticky: How to troubleshoot
-
@Jopyth one way would be hide a module with the scheduler and show it again with the remote control or voice or something else
-
@Jopyth: The problem is that there is no way to find out which module requested the hide method. Therefor I can’t use that identifier by default. This must be provided by the module itself.

Oh, I see. My
this.identifierwould have been the identifier of the module to be hidden.Helpful sticky: How to troubleshoot

@Jopyth exactly. Wich wouldn’t make much sense.
