Create an autocomplete feature in Sublime Text for Bootstrap and Foundations. As a future goal we could generalise the system of adding info-hovers, which can speed up creating support for (new) frameworks and languages among the SublimeText user-base.
We are accepting suggestions for a better name for this repostiory.
##Classes## Classes in HTML are different from what you may have seen in other programming languages. In HTML , classes are used to group different tags together, so that you can do certain specific task with them. For example: If we have two div tags(division tags) and we want to apply the same style to them both, isn't it a better idea to define a single rule(in CSS we apply rules) for them, instead of applying same sets of rules on each and every item.
There isn't a predefined list, we have to see their documentation and create our own list.
Bootstrap: www.getBootstrap.com
Foundation : www.foundation.zurb.com
An info-hover should appear above the selected class name displaying various details about the function when the bound-key is hit OR, add "our info" to the standard autocomplete-hover-box when typing a keyword that our plugin recognises.
We shall start with CSS, so the decsription will be available for classes
- Where can we get description from? Our hints must conform to some yet unkown standard, they should be extracted from official documentation if possible.
- CSS reference/API website
- Manually creation of hints [Avoid]).
- If we take the keybind approach,
- How exactly does the user select the text, ie, when the bound-key is hit, do we look for a (partial?/complete?) selction OR the word preceeding the cursor?
- Read through both the JavaScriptFunctionDefinition and AndyPython
- Extending SublimeText's AutoComplete tutorial (bad quality) shows how to define (and hence over-ride) the
on_query_completions()method. - A popup can be created in this way, API link
show_popup_menu(items, on_done, <flags>) (returns None)
- Shows a pop up menu at the caret(cursor), to select an item in a list.
on_donewill be called once, with the index of the selected item. If the pop up menu was cancelled,on_donewill be called with an argument of -1.itemsis an array of strings.flagscurrently has no option. Don't specify it, hence the function takes 2 args.
