Snippets vs parameter hints #2

Open secretfork opened 5 years ago

secretfork commented 5 years ago

I'm not quite sure this is the right place for this question, but i was redirected here from Q&A on the vs code extension page so here we go:

I'm not so keen on autocompleting the full method and signature with tabstops. Would it be possible to provide a list of possible keywords to choose from (and autocomplete only the method name) and then provide "parameter hints" and "quick info" when you open up a brace such as with php language intellisense, as described here in the documentation for intellisense:

parameter hints in action

Hi @secretfork, sorry for the delay responding. It looks like this would have to be done by creating a language server extension (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-capabilities/overview#programmatic-language-features).

I'm open to the idea, and I do think it would be a better experience to have things like method auto-completion to be context-aware. Having said that, implementing language server features is a wholly different undertaking than creating a snippet collection. I'm not sure it's within my skill set, and if it is, it would probably take some time to implement.

I'm going to add this to a list of feature requests, and will reach out to you when/if I'm able to get it started.

You can achieve this with the Intelephense extension by adding wordpress to the intelephense.stubs setting and then Intelephense will provide the parameter hints.

More info: https://github.com/bmewburn/vscode-intelephense/issues/833

Alternatively, add a copy of WordPress to your project workspace then you get parameter hints as well as being able to navigate directly to the function definitions.
