feat: Add 'reason' field to move event#6996
Conversation
There are many types of move. This addition allows one to detect what the reason for each move is.
And unsaved editor tabs.
| * 'cleanup' -- Workspace aligned top-level blocks. | ||
| * Reasons may become comma separated if move events merge ('drag,bump,snap'). | ||
| */ | ||
| reason?: string; |

Can we make the list of reasons an enum? It would mean we get compile-time errors if we e.g. misspell inbounds or try to add a variation like in-bounds, plus give us autocomplete.
Also, can we have the reason property in the event be an array of reasons, instead of a single string with commas? That would be simpler for consumers of this property instead of having to parse the string into an array themselves.

I don't think an enum would allow developers to create new reasons. Imagine an extension or application which, say, shuffled blocks around randomly to create a puzzle. They should be able to create a custom reason (e.g. 'shuffle').
Changed all reasons to be arrays.
| * 'inbounds' -- Block got pushed back into a non-scrolling workspace. | ||
| * 'connect' -- Block got connected to another block. | ||
| * 'disconnect' -- Block got disconnected from another block. | ||
| * 'create' -- Block created via XML. |

nit: Block created via deserialization? (since I assume this would also apply for blocks created json?)

I assumed the same, but there are no move events fired when deserializing from JSON, just when using XML.
| lastEvent.newCoordinate = moveEvent.newCoordinate; | ||
| if (moveEvent.reason) { | ||
| if (lastEvent.reason) { | ||
| // Contatenate reasons into a comma separated string |

nit: Concatenate (if this comment still exists pending comment re: using an array)
