Description
Provide a base class, ArgumentCompleter, to simplify writing custom argument completers
Some common tasks need to be done almost every time a completer is written.
Things like quoting arguments if they contain spaces, matching against WordToComplete, and ensuring that the results are sorted is another such task.
Motivation
As a Developer,
I can use the base class when writing custom argument completers,
so that results are achieved faster, with high quality, and
so that users get a consistent completion experience.
User Experience
using namespace System.Management.Automation;
public class GetCommitCompleter : ArgumentCompleter
{
// override simplified completer
protected override CompletionResultSortKind AddCompletionsFor(string commandName, string parameterName, IDictionary fakeBoundParameters)
{
switch (parameterName)
{
case nameof(GitRebaseCommand.CommitHash):
CompleteGitCommitHash();
break;
}
return CompletionResultSortKind.Sorted;
}
private void CompleteGitCommitHash()
{
var user = GetFakeBoundParameter<string>("User");
foreach(var commit in GitExe.Log())
{
if (user is { } u && commit.User != u){
continue;
}
// use a function to complete if the text or tooltip matches WordToComplete
CompleteMatching(text: commit.Hash, tooltip: $"{commit.User}\r\n{commit.Description}}": CompletionMatch.AnyContainsWithWordToComplete);
}
}
}
