Enhancement: Show _description on popup when choosing a hook config

[xnl-h4ck3r]

Hi Kevin
In https://github.com/kevin-mizu/domloggerpp/releases/tag/1.0.5 it says
A new _comment root key is available within the configuration JSON (https://github.com/kevin-mizu/domloggerpp/issues/6) (Thanks @xnl-h4ck3r).
I assume you meant _description instead of _comment though?
It could be useful in the extenion popup to show the _description value below the Hooking selection box, showing the description of the chosen config if it is set.
Thanks

Hey xnl-h4ck3r

Oops, you're right, I made a mistake with the release. It's now updated. I checked the source code, and it should be working fine with _description (ref).

About adding the _description within the extension popup, I'm wondering if it's a good idea. I'm afraid some users wouldn't want it present as it would take up a lot of space, forcing them to scroll a lot just to access the setting. This would be inconvenient for users who use this key but don't want to see the description. 🤔

In my opinion, it is too specific to be added, as I would need to make it configurable within the settings, making the app a bit more complex for a simple text.

I might be wrong. What do you think about it?

Cheers,
Kévin

Hi @kevin-mizu. Yes, I think you have a point. Most users wouldn't want that.
Another thought though, would it be a good idea to also allow _description under each hook, and maybe show that description as a tool tip when you hover over each hook button on the devtools panel, to gove a bit more context if a user wants it?
Thanks

It could be an interesting update! For the moment, I'm focusing on bug fixes and core feature implementation. I'll try to implement this later on.

Yeah. no rush obviously. Just an idea :) Thanks!
