How to display autocomplete choices in swagger-editor


How do you get autocomplete to work in the YAML editor view of swagger-editor? I see autoComplete: true in preferences.js. What do you need to do in the editor to get the snippet to appear?


Solution

  • I think I figured it out. swagger-editor sets enableLiveAutocompletion: true for the ACE editor (app/scripts/services/editor.js). For some reason, this disables live auto completion(!) Setting it to false enables it. Now as I type I can see the autocompletion selections and can insert snippets. Strange that this option seems reversed.
