[CLOSED] Code completion hints don't work for most AngularJS functions #4974

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by somelinguist Thursday Oct 03, 2013 at 20:16 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/5417

Code completion hints for AngularJS seems to be limited to

angular.$$hashKey
angular.element
angular["ff-684208-preventDefault"]
angular.resumeBootstrap

If I try to type other angular functions (for example: angular.copy, angular.toJson, etc), they often show up in italics in the code completion popup, but then there is no completion info for parameters.

Is there a way to get Brackets to offer more hints?

@somelinguist We don't have code completion hints for AngularJS at all. I don't even get anything that you listed when I tried it out in an empty js file. You must be trying in a file that already had some references to the listed ones.

We're using Tern as our JS code hints provider and currently Tern only provides code completion for jQuery and underscorejs using some json files (see https://github.com/marijnh/tern/tree/master/defs). So you can create a json file for AngularJS and contribute it to Tern if you want to work on it.

@dangoor - could this be a side-effect of our small file size limit for Tern scanning? Does this need to be move to backlog if we need to rethink our strategy there?

@njx I think the file size limit has to do with getting code hints as you type and not with the files around. However, I have also seen bug activity recently in the Tern repo about Angular. It could be that Angular does things a bit differently than other JS projects.

This is worth investigating at least.

I'm going to put this into sprint 33, because it's likely that I can look into this while I'm also looking into #4991, which may be of a similar nature.

I have updated Tern and installed the Angular plugin for Tern. I still see exactly the results that you're seeing. I have filed a bug with Tern.

OK, this is not a bug in Tern. We need to register the Angular plugin for it to work.
