How to provide mycli completions to other clients like Emacs?

[stardiviner]

I want to know whether it is possible to provide mycli completions to other clients like Emacs? If it is possible, then can you give me some hints and point me to the right direction? I want to implement an Emacs client based on mycli. Take mycli/pgcli power to Emacs. Thanks for your great work!!

Hi @stardiviner you're welcome! I'm not a Emacs user but I can think of the following options:

• Run mycli/pgcli in an terminal emulator in Emacs
• Write your own plugin/extension for Emacs which uses sqlcompleter from mycli/pgcli.

@meeuw Not able to use mycli/pgcli as a daemon?

[meeuw]

No, not at this moment, sorry. It might be worth investigating, is there a framework for Emacs for getting completions from a daemon?

[stardiviner]

Yes, Emacs has many packages get completion from external daemons, I can list some examples here.
