Autocomplete not recognizing parameters of an instance of "StructuredNode".

[SandeshGowda-0094]

Description

When using Neomodel with certain IDEs (e.g., VSCode), autocomplete for dynamically defined properties within a class that inherits from StructuredNode is not working as expected. This issue affects the developer experience when creating instances of the class with property assignments.

Code Example

from neomodel import StructuredNode, StringProperty

class Person(StructuredNode):
    self.name = StringProperty(default=name)

# Autocomplete not recognizing 'name' in the following instance creation:
sam = Person(name='sam')

I found a way, but it's not convinient...

from neomodel import StructuredNode, StringProperty

class Person(StructuredNode):
    def __init__(self, name=None, **kwargs):
        super(Person, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.name = StringProperty(default=name)

# Autocomplete can now recognize when used a constructor
sam = Person(name='sam')

Expected Behavior

Autocomplete should recognize the dynamically defined property name during the creation of an instance, providing suggestions as the developer types.

I would really appreciate if any would address this issue.. it would mean a lot to developer's experience.

Thanks for your issue.

FYI, GitHub Copilot does propose properties for autocompletion in this scenario. I know it's not exactly what you're asking, but at least it is one solution :-)

Otherwise, I think this is more an issue for the IDEs to fix, than neomodel. See here for VSCode for instance.
