Access to the proposal provider through the Xtext Web application [message #1723577]

Hi,

In the standalone version, we can easily have access to the ProposalProvider and, thus, to get access to user defined proposal templates. How this proposal provider can be accessed by a Xtext Web application? Do we need to programmatically define the access to the proposal prodicer already given for the standalone version?

Best Regards

hi,

can you be a bit more specific about your question.
the web version has support for proposals by default. (crtl + space)

the proposal provider to implement (subclass) and bind (in the webmodule) is

class MyDslWebModule extends AbstractMyDslWebModule {
	def Class<? extends IdeContentProposalProvider> bindIdeContentProposalProvider() {
		MyDslProposalProvider
	}
}

class MyDslProposalProvider extends IdeContentProposalProvider {
	
	override createProposals(Collection<ContentAssistContext> contexts, IIdeContentProposalAcceptor acceptor) {
		println("start here")
		super.createProposals(contexts, acceptor)
	}
	
}

In the ProposalProvider.xtend, i have inserted code for completing my 'code' when the Ctrl+space is pressed.
However, this is not accessed by the Web application as in the standalone.
I inserted the code you mention but my ProposalProvider is not seen by the WebModule
e.g., i get an error when inserting the code in the WebModule.xtend
def Class<? extends IdeContentProposalProvider> bindIdeContentProposalProvider() {
XProposalProvider <--- error: The method or field XProposalProvider is undefined
}

Are you sure you did the class path right. In doubt place the class right
next to the wrbmodule. It might be you need to write a least one char to
get a initial server sync.

Btw what do you mean by standalone

I mean that when i run my dsl as an Eclipse plugin, the proposal provider is ok.
In the Web module, the Ctrl+space presents the list of the proposals but when pressing the enter,
the template i inserted in the XProposalProvider.xtend is not placed in the editor.
Btw, in my Eclipse, the XProposalProvider.xtend is in the ui project and not in the ide.

The eclipse proposal provider and the class you have to create (see
previous post) are two completely different classes
