How to define auto-complete strings for use in `[somename#...`

[tonhuisman]

I have tried to add definitions for the task-specific settings, as added in ESPEasy via PR 4421, but then the auto-complete doesn't seem to work in the Rules editor when trying to use [<taskname>#...] (to fill in the ... part), probably because it is trying to insert some other values/events that have a # included. I have found that there is some explicit handling for # but I don't understand yet how that is to be modified to get it working as auto-complete.

My JS skills are not that great, and my understanding of this code isn't that in-depth either, so can you suggest how to implement that, or, as an alternative, on how to specify these auto-complete values?

I am unfortunately a bit busy the next couple of days but as soon i find the time i´ll look into that.

I don't understand yet how that is to be modified to get it working as auto-complete.

Adding simple keywords i one thing but autocompletion easily breaks if it deviates from the scheme i´ve given it.
I will need to have a closer look to understand what i did there.

This project and easyfetch are the first real programming experiences i have with any language. And this started last october. :) But i can try to initiate you into the crocked depths of my programming...

I just did a quick fix... either you download the html and js files and edit the html file to direct to the local js or you wait until it has been updated on jsdeliver.

1. I forgot to define the AnythingElse wordlist (it was only covered by catching it later through %...%)
2. I had to remove # from the wordlist regex. It was handled as a character of a word for generating the list of words that are not included in the defined wordlist (problem now... var#1 for example is not recognized as one word for suggestions. this was actually a good thing because i could see which vars where already in use. I think i will write an exception to accommodate for this)

you wait until it has been updated on jsdeliver.

I forgot the minified files so waiting made no sense :)

I made a new category for task specific stuff called taskSpecifics
since we introduced . for settings i had to accommodate for that. There is a chance that this might cause problem somewhere else but i can´t think of anything right now so testing will tell.
var and int got their exceptions since i really like that feature but if it collides with anything else or if found to be not usefull by the majority i will undo it.

settings are grayed out until a word + # precedes

How should we proceed with commits to ESPeasy.
Last time i checked your PRs weren’t merged so if i also do a PR now it could get a bit messy. What do you think. You are the expert. :)
I also thought of using the js files in ESPeasy for the HTML-Site in this repository. But then i have to wait for Updates like everyone else since i am dependent on you for merging changes...

I'll discuss with TD-er tonight what the best strategy would be. Having your repo as the main source for this would be best I assume, but I don't think we want to go and use npm for packaging and including 😱

Last I checked there were some differences between the .js code here and what's in ESPEasy, is that still the case?

dependent on you for merging changes...

Currently only TD-er (and probably grovkillen) can merge PRs in ESPEasy, I don't have those 'powers' 😄

This is the reason why the change of EasyColorCode to codemirror 6 is stalling right now.. npm is still a mystery for me 😳

In my opinion you should have this power since you earned it. :)
