Intelliprompt for Javascript native objects

Hi John,

We don't currently have IntelliPrompt for the native Javascript objects.  That is something on our TODO list and I'll log your suggestion with the item.

You could add some of this by making a new class that inherits JavaScriptCompletionProvider and override the RequestSession method.  You'd have to get a snapshot reader like:

var reader = view.CurrentSnapshot.GetReader(view.Selection.EndOffset).BufferReader;

It would be initialized where the caret is.  Then use the reader to see if there is a "." before that offset and if so, get the word before it.  If it's any of the built-ins like Math then show a completion session like we do in our QuickStarts.  Otherwise, call the base method to let it try and match identifiers defined in the code.

You'd want to register your custom completion provider with the language like this to clear out the old one:

this.RegisterService<JavaScriptCompletionProvider>(new CustomJavaScriptCompletionProvider());

I hope that helps!

Is there a way to load a script file that the editor will parse and automatically add the Intelliprompt function?  

I was also looking at your SDI demo that has the option to select the language JavaScript (in Web Languages Add-on).  In JavaScript I created a simple pseudo class like this.

var foo = function(){
  this.FirstName = "Abe";
  this.LastName = "Lincoln";
}

var x = new foo();
console.log(x.

 At the dot, iI expect it to show FirstName and LastName as members of x but it does not.  Is there no IntelliPrompt for JavaScript at all?

Hi John,

While we do have a JavaScript parser that will run as the text changes, mark syntax errors, and return an AST result to the document, our JavaScript add-on doesn't currently support context sensitive IntelliPrompt completion. We took the approach for now of making something that generically displays all known identifiers in the document when you Ctrl+Space and filters the list as you type.

I have revived this effort in our product recently and had the same question regarding JavaScript Intelliprompt completion. I notice the last thread response is two years old.  Has there been any progress toward getting this feature?

Hi Nate,

Sorry there's nothing new in that area for the JavaScript language at this time.
