I'm using ACE Editor within a Chrome extension. I'm using ACE's Autocomplete feature but I want to be able to completely define a list of static strings to use for the autocomplete, instead of any local strings or snippets. (In the future I might be using something more sophisticated than a static list, but for now static is fine.)
Can anyone provide some instruction on how to accomplish this? I already have autocomplete enabled and snippets off, but I'm having trouble defining a static list of strings to use.
All I have so far is:
var editor = ace.edit('propertiesText');
editor.getSession().setMode('ace/mode/properties');
var langTools = ace.require('ace/ext/language_tools');
// code here to define custom strings?
editor.setOptions({
enableBasicAutocompletion: true
});
you need to add a completer like this
var staticWordCompleter = {
getCompletions: function(editor, session, pos, prefix, callback) {
var wordList = ["foo", "bar", "baz"];
callback(null, wordList.map(function(word) {
return {
caption: word,
value: word,
meta: "static"
};
}));
}
}
langTools.setCompleters([staticWordCompleter])
// or
editor.completers = [staticWordCompleter]
