# Description Add a few more options to `view ir` for finding blocks, which I found myself wanting while trying to trace through the generated code. If we end up adding support for plugins to call commands that are in scope by name, this will also make it possible for `nu_plugin_explore_ir` to just step through IR automatically (by passing the block/decl ids) without exposing too many internals. With that I could potentially add keys that allow you to step in to closures or decls with the press of a button, just by calling `view ir --json` appropriately. # User-Facing Changes - `view ir` can now take names of custom commands that are in scope. - integer arguments are treated as block IDs, which sometimes show up in IR (closure, block, row condition literals). - `--decl-id` provided to treat the argument as a decl ID instead, which is also sometimes necessary to access something that isn't in scope.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
