Autocomplete for files starting with . (e.g.: .babelrc) #658

Open bali182 opened 8 years ago

TL;DR

Is there a way to remove some .foo kind of (hidden?) files from the blacklist (e.g.: .babelrc in my case)?

Long version:

I'm creating an autocomplete provider for .json files for known and commonly used schemas, one of these is .babelrc. Since the default blacklist configuration is .*, it matches with minimatch to .anything, so my provider has no chance to kick in. Is there a way to disable this behaviour for my provider?

To my knowledge, there isn't a way to exclude files from being blacklisted once they have been. This would probably be a good enhancement though.

You can always put a note in the README for your provider to suggest that people alter the blacklist. Or even do something like on startup of your provider, it checks the blacklist and pops up a dialog asking permission to change the blacklist on behalf of the user.

Hmm, mentioning this in the readme seems like a good workaround, thanks.
