# Documentation

type CompletionFunc m = (String, String) -> m (String, [Completion]) #

Performs completions from the given line state.

The first `String` argument is the contents of the line to the left of the cursor, reversed. The second `String` argument is the contents of the line to the right of the cursor.

The output `String` is the unused portion of the left half of the line, reversed.

data Completion #

Constructors

Completion |
Fields replacement :: String Text to insert in line. display :: String Text to display when listing alternatives. isFinished :: Bool Whether this word should be followed by a space, end quote, etc.

noCompletion :: Monad m => CompletionFunc m #

Disable completion altogether.

simpleCompletion :: String -> Completion #

Create a finished completion out of the given word.

# Word completion

completeWord #

Arguments

:: Monad m |
=> Maybe Char | An optional escape character
-> [Char] | Characters which count as whitespace
-> (String -> m [Completion]) | Function to produce a list of possible completions
-> CompletionFunc m |

A custom `CompletionFunc` which completes the word immediately to the left of the cursor.

A word begins either at the start of the line or after an unescaped whitespace character.

completeWordWithPrev #

Arguments

:: Monad m |
=> Maybe Char | An optional escape character
-> [Char] | Characters which count as whitespace
-> (String -> String -> m [Completion]) | Function to produce a list of possible completions. The first argument is the line contents to the left of the word, reversed. The second argument is the word to be completed.
-> CompletionFunc m |

A custom `CompletionFunc` which completes the word immediately to the left of the cursor, and takes into account the line contents to the left of the word.

A word begins either at the start of the line or after an unescaped whitespace character.

completeQuotedWord #

Arguments

:: Monad m |
=> Maybe Char | An optional escape character
-> [Char] | Characters which set off quotes
-> (String -> m [Completion]) | Function to produce a list of possible completions
-> CompletionFunc m | Alternate completion to perform if the cursor is not at a quoted word
-> CompletionFunc m |

# Filename completion

completeFilename :: MonadIO m => CompletionFunc m #

listFiles :: MonadIO m => FilePath -> m [Completion] #

List all of the files or folders beginning with this path.

filenameWordBreakChars :: String #
