Thanks for the extensive info. @ericdallo, any thoughts here about clojure-lsp's side of supporting this?
Very cool! Iiuc, we wouldn't need to do anything on the Calva side of things if clojure-lsp is made to support this. Is that how you understand it too, @bpringe?
Yes, that seems to be the case to me as well.
Thanks for the detailed issue description, I do think clojure-lsp with clj-kondo's help should make that work. @ikitommi we have this issue in clojure-lsp similar to this one, but we are blocked because we need clj-kondo analysis (not only findings, but the analysis feature) to be able to provider autocomplete in clojure-lsp.
Autocomplete (and validate) known map keys
Related to the Slack discussion on #calva and in #clj-kondo: Clojure is a dynamically typed language, but we could leverage the runtime schema/spec data in IDE to provide better type linting and auto-complete of known map keys. This would radically improve developer experience, help people come from ecosystem like TypeScript and lessen the map fatigue.
The below examples are based on malli, but the same approach could work with schema and spec too.
Use Case
Current Status
Suggestion
Add IDE-support for autocompleting map keys in case we know the data form via malli schemas for the data. Integrate this to when creating literal data maps (2ii & 2iii) and when accessing schematized function arguments within the function body.
This might require work on all of malli, clj-kondo, lsp-clojure and calva.
Happy to help from malli side.

As Malli supports lite-syntax, the syntax is not far from typescript (in the simple cases):
