feature request - live autocomplete

[rofrol]

It would be nice to have it. I still hasn't learned elm native to make pull request though.

Do you want to have a capability to activate the following options: enableBasicAutocompletion, enableSnippets, enableLiveAutocompletion, right?

[therustmonk]

I've released 2.2.0 version with the options above and extensions (look to the example). Check it, please.

I'm running your example but don't get autocompletion.

I have an example that I have to port to Elm and it's initiated like below. It sends completion request to the RServe:

var langTools = ace.require("ace/ext/language_tools");
var pre_process = ace.edit('pre_process');
pre_process.setTheme('ace/theme/crimson_editor');
pre_process.getSession().setMode('ace/mode/r');
pre_process.setOptions({
  enableBasicAutocompletion: true
  , enableLiveAutocompletion: true
});
var Rcompleter = {getCompletions: getCompletions}
langTools.addCompleter(Rcompleter);

function getCompletions(editor, session, pos, prefix, callback) {
  console.log("POS: " + JSON.stringify(pos) + " prefix: " + prefix);
  if (prefix.length === 0) {
    let range = {
      start: {
        row: pos.row,
        column: 0
      },
      end: {
        row: pos.row,
        column: pos.column
      }
    }
    prefix = editor.session.getTextRange(range);
    if (prefix.length === 0) {
      callback(null, []); 
      return;
    }
  }
  var completionObj = {
    "rserveHost": $('#rserveHost').val() || "localhost",
    "rservePort": $('#rservePort').val() || 6311,
    "prefix": prefix,
    "pos": pos.column
  };
  console.log("completionObj: " + JSON.stringify(completionObj));
  $.post( '/rserveCommand/completion', completionObj)
  .done(function( data ) {
    console.log("in done");
    if (data.cmdList && data.cmdList !== null) {
      callback(null, data.cmdList.map(function(val) {
        return {caption: val, value: val}
      }));
    }
    if (data.err)
      console.log("ERROR: \n" + data.err);
  }).fail(function(xhr) {
    console.log("ERROR: \n" + JSON.stringify(xhr));
  });
}

You use custom code completion feature. I need to think how to implement it with Elm.

[rofrol]

On every keystroke or ctrl+space I need access to editor, prefix and pos.

[therustmonk]

Resonable. I will take this into account in the implementation.

Could you please let me know the status of this feature ?
