Feature request: support autocomplete

[allforabit]

I'm not sure if it's a problem with my setup or something that hasn't been implemented yet but it would be great to have some sort of autocomplete. I don't see it on the feature list so I'm assuming it's not there yet. I'm only starting to look at rescript so it's very possible that I've missed something too. Thanks very much!

Is there any news on this?

Autocomplete will be the last feature that will be added.

Current priority list:

1. Type on Hover
2. Jump to definition (with corrected position when jumping to a JSX component)
3. Error messages as you type
4. Autocomplete

Core functionality for 1) and 2) is actually implemented and working (but not wired up to the LSP / VSCode setup yet).

Update:

1, 2 and 4 have been successfully implemented (see latest blog post).

We are currently cleaning up our work, and also prepare precompiled native executables for our editor-integration (the part that does all the magic behind the scenes). Final release will be announced on our forum.

Please bear in mind that we greatly reduced the complexity of our tooling by removing a lot of bulk and functionality from the original RLS to make sure that the tooling is fast and reliable (no outdated caches, no memory leaks). So be aware that the initial release will have less features and might feel a little minimalistic. We will add back features gradually after the initial release, based on feedback.

EDIT: removed the wrong statement of number 3 being implemented

@ryyppy I have a question regarding #3. I thought error reporting was implemented on format/save since it reads the data from compiler log but you said it will be reported "as you type"?

[IwanKaramazow]

The current implementation is "when saved". It's not yet "as you type" in this iteration.

Sorry my bad, updated my comment

Maybe we can close this?
