Auto-completion by context #5

Open sbwoodside opened 7 years ago

sbwoodside commented 7 years ago

Would it be possible to have auto-completion based on the YAML context. For example, if I'm typing a key in an associative array, it would complete based on other keys, if I'm typing a value, other values, etc?

adamvoss commented 7 years ago

Yes, it would be possible. The JSON implementation could be used as a reference for seeing how to interact with the Schema to get suggestions. The Language Server Protocol document is probably the best source for documentation on how the completion API works to know what needs to be implemented.

I know this is hard to implement because parser probably doesn't provide enough information while in the middle of editing but it would be very useful feature.
