MvtAssign It - Sublime Text Plugin

Sublime Text plugin allows you to convert Toolkit, Toolbelt, and Sebenza Tools variable assignments into Miva's default mvt:assign.

For Example

This:

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|foo|bar" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vassign|foo|l.all_settings:bar" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="mvassign|foo|'bar' $ '!'" />
<mvt:item name="ry_toolbelt" param="assign|g.foo|toupper('bar')" />
<mvt:item name="sebenzatools" param="var|foo|'bar'" />

Becomes:

<mvt:assign name="g.foo" value="'bar'" />
<mvt:assign name="g.foo" value="l.settings:bar" />
<mvt:assign name="g.foo" value="'bar' $ '!'" />
<mvt:assign name="g.foo" value="toupper('bar')" />
<mvt:assign name="g.foo" value="'bar'" />

Features

• Use keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + M while tags are selected
• Automatically converts l.all_settings variable references to l.settings
• Convert multiple items at once
• Works with Sublime Text 2 & Sublime Text 3
• Works on:
  • Toolkit
    • sassign <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|foo|bar" />
    • vassign <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vassign|foo|l.all_settings:bar" />
    • mvassign <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="mvassign|foo|'bar' $ '!'" />
  • Toolbelt
    • assign <mvt:item name="ry_toolbelt" param="assign|g.foo|'bar'" />

Why is this important?

Simply put, mvt:assign is faster.

Using the /benchmark/benchmark.mvt code I tested how long it would take to iterate through an mvt:while loop for N numbers of times. At the maximum recorded number (10,000) mvt:assign was roughly 20 seconds faster than Toolbelt & Sebenza Tools' assign and 25 seconds faster than Toolkit's mvassign!
