WebIDE set time without send like in Apploader

This is what the WebIDE is gererating and sending if When sending code, set Espruino's clock to the current time is checked.

var time = new Date();
code = "setTime("+(time.getTime()/1000)+");E.setTimeZone("+(-time.getTimezoneOffset()/60)+")\n"

How to implement this feature into the WebIDE as a standalone function witn an icon like Set Espruino Time?

All you need to do is...

• Copy _examplePlugin.js to a new JS file in the plugins folder
  

• Replace the contents of the init function with something like:

  Espruino.Core.App.addIcon({ 
      id: "sendTime",
      icon: "star", 
      title : "Send the current Time", 
      order: 300, 
      area: { 
        name: "code", 
        position: "bottom"
      },
      click: sendTime
    });    
  

Then add a sendTime function that calls:

Espruino.Core.Serial.write(`\x03\x10setTime(....)\n`, false, function() {
                Espruino.Core.Notifications.success(`Sent the time`, true);
              });

And I think you'll be done. It might be a nice thing to have as an option, so you could copy the code from https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoWebIDE/blob/master/js/plugins/codeLink.js which puts an option in Settings which shows/hides the icon when toggled

Great, just added a sendTime.js, looks like I missed something ....because the clock icon does not show here on http://mabecker.github.io/EspruinoWebIDE/

Looking atview-source:https://mabecker.github.io/EspruinoWebIDE/ you never include sendTime.js as a script there?

Ups, missed that one .... Thanks. Now it works. Let me know if you like to include this into the original WebIDE.

Thanks! Well, someone asked a while ago (I think it was part of 'Projects'?) if there could be a way to upload some predefined commands from a menu, like setting time, reset(), load(), require("Storage").eraseAll() and I'm sure others.

If a menu was added so you clicked a button and then clicked again on the command you wanted, do you think that'd be good enough for you?

Also, if it was, what other commands would be useful?

Yes this is a feature the WebIDE lost, it was named snippets.
