The provided example config is still rather suboptimal right now, I'll fix that later. |
The custom formatters allow users to intercept the data in different places, providing the option for them to re-format text or change how/what data is getting displayed. (fixes hrsh7th#209)

I dislike bots like this generally, but I especially think it's disheartening to auto-reject PRs. I'd think more than twice about contributing to a project if I thought my contribution would eventually be closed by a bot. See hrsh7th#378 (comment).

This is not "an issue", it's a PR that someone spent time on. Opened #526 to change the bot's configuration. |

This PR adds new configuration options to allow advanced users to configure everything in how their results and documentation get's displayed. It does this by adding a new field to the configuration table.
This may, for example, be used to achieve the feature requested in #209, by adding a simple function (which is used as an example in the readme).
That configuration example results in the list as shown on this screenshot:
Rationale
I spend a lot of time in my editor, mostly in a single language (rust). Optimizing small stuff is thus not only fun, but also worth it for me - and many others.
Increasing flexibility like this allows advanced users to tweak the plugin to exactly what they need, and may have result in some popular snippets that everyone benefits from.
For me specifically, I use this feature in my fork now, to show the mentioned type/function signature, as well as slightly clean up how results are displayed.
As a lot of this is very language server/source specific, its infeasible to add first-class support for the kind of small tweaks that I (and probably many others) would like to have. By allowing users to tweak this themselves, its possible to still be open for these kinds of changes.
Still, I of course see how this opens up a lot of internal API, which you may not be comfortable with. An alternative solution would be limiting the scope of these functions to only changing specific things about the results, and only showing the user a small, controlled subset of the data. If you feel uncomfortable merging this with the current amount of freedom, I'd of course be happy to adjust, limit or fully rethink how this flexibility is provided.
