Favourites

Mark recipes as favourites in Cook Editor. Ships with Cook Editor.

What you see

• A heart as the first button in a recipe preview's header: outline when the recipe is not a favourite, filled orange when it is. Click to toggle.
• Add to Favourites / Remove from Favourites when you right-click a .cook file in the Explorer, and Favourites: Toggle Favourite in the command palette for the recipe you are editing.
• A Favourites section in the Explorer sidebar listing your favourites. Click one to open its preview; the inline heart removes it. A warning icon marks a favourite whose file is missing.

The .bookmarks file

Favourites live in .bookmarks at the root of your recipe folder, so other Cooklang apps and sync can share them:

# one recipe per line, relative to this folder
Breakfast/Pancakes.cook
Dinner/Tomato Soup.cook

• Paths use / and keep the .cook extension; blank lines and # comments are fine, and the plugin preserves them when it edits the file.
• You can edit the file by hand; open previews and the Favourites view update.
• Renaming or deleting a recipe or folder inside Cook Editor updates the file. Moves made outside the editor leave an entry with a warning icon; remove it from the Favourites view.
• The plugin writes the file with LF line endings; a file with CRLF endings is rewritten to LF on its first edit.
• Only the first folder of a multi-folder workspace is used.

For plugin authors

Shows how a plugin drives per-recipe toolbar state without editor code: it publishes the favourite list with setContext (cooklang.favourites.paths, cooklang.favourites.uris), contributes two commands to cooklang/recipePreview/toolbar whose when clauses use cooklangPreviewPath in … / not in …, and calls cooklang.api.refreshBadges so open previews re-render. Also a tree view in the explorer container and cooklang.api.openPreview.
