registerCompletionItemProvider method

Disposable registerCompletionItemProvider(Object selector, CompletionItemProvider<CompletionItem> provider, [ Iterable? triggerCharacters ])

Register a completion provider.

Multiple providers can be registered for a language. In that case providers are sorted by their {@link languages.matchscore} and groups of equal score are sequentially asked for completion items. The process stops when one or many providers of a group return a result. A failing provider (rejected promise or exception) will not fail the whole operation.

A completion item provider can be associated with a set of triggerCharacters. When trigger characters are being typed, completions are requested but only from providers that registered the typed character. Because of that trigger characters should be different than {@link LanguageConfiguration.wordPatternword characters}, a common trigger character is . to trigger member completions.

Implementation

_i3.Disposable registerCompletionItemProvider(
  _i2.Object selector,
  _i3.CompletionItemProvider<_i3.CompletionItem> provider, [
  _i2.Iterable<_i2.dynamic>? triggerCharacters,
]) =>
    _i4.callMethod(
      this,
      'registerCompletionItemProvider',
      [
        selector,
        provider,
        ...?triggerCharacters,
      ],
    );
