[Xtext] Problem: Scoping on objects at runtime [message #544293] Fri, 02 July 2010 09:03 Go to next message

I'am trying to to some kind of scoping. I have the following DSL:

Definition Name{
	property  Name_prop
	property  Name_prop1
}

Definition Test{
	property  Test_prop
}

Access Test {
 	propertyRef  Test_prop
}


Now I want to press [Strg + Space] after 'propertyRef' and
I want to see just "Test_prop" as proposal in the context menu!
By default Xtext generates me 'Name_prop", "Name_prop1"
and "Test_prop" as proposal.

Is there any posibility to do that with Xtext? My grammar looks like this: (notice the {FunctionCall} was just a try to get access to the objects at runtime for scoping?)

Language returns Language:
		(statement+=Statement)*;

Statement returns Statement:
	Definition | Access;

Definition returns Definition:
	'Definition'
	name=DefName
	'{'
		(properties+=Property)*
        '}';

DefName: 
	name = ID;
	
AbstractDefName:
	Definition |DefName ;
	

Access returns Access:
	'Access' {FunctionCall} DefinitionName=[AbstractDefName]
	'{'
		propAccesses+=PropAccess
       '}';

PropAccess : 'propertyRef' propertyRef=[Property];

Property returns Property:
	'property'
	name=ID
;

EString returns ecore::EString:
	STRING | ID("." ID)*;


If there is no way to do that automatically by using Xtext? What
API can I use to implement this feature? How to do that using the ScopeProvider?

Thanks and Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

something like

public IScope scope_PropAccess_propertyRef(Access context, EReference ref) {
Definition definition = // navigate from context to definition
return Scopes.scopeFor(definition.getProperties());
}

should do the trick. Have a look at the documentation to learn more
about scope providers.

Please note that Xtext has a dedicated newsgroup eclipse.modeling.tmf

Sebastian
