Hi,

I wanted to customize the content assist for argType where it can give different options depending on the command. (For example, if command "create" is typed, only "file, folder, ..." is shown for argType in the content assist)

Below is my grammar:
Model:
command+=Commands;

Commands:
	command= ('create'|'close'|'open'|'copy');
	name = ID
        "{"
	argtlist+=Arg*			
        "}"	
;
	
Arg:
        argType = ID
	argName = STRING
;

The outcome i wanted will look something like this:
create testing {
        file "File1"  //only argType file and folder is shown in content assist       
        folder "Folder"    //only argType file and folder is shown in content assist       
}

Is it possible to achieve something like that in content assist?
Thanks in advanced for any guidance!

Hi Christian,

Thanks for replying.
I did looked into that and i know how to implement code completion for argType. But what i do not know is how to get the current command value from Commands Type so i could provide different groups of proposal for different commands value.

the parameters give you access to the "model" / ast. use that to navigate and investigate

class MyDslProposalProvider extends AbstractMyDslProposalProvider {
	
	override completeArg_ArgType(EObject model, Assignment assignment, ContentAssistContext context, ICompletionProposalAcceptor acceptor) {
		val commands = EcoreUtil2.getContainerOfType(model, Commands)
		if (commands != null) {
			println(commands.command)
		}
	}
	
}
