## IntelliJ IDEA plugin: Lightweight autocompletion (experimental)
The IDEA plugin provides a fast, lightweight BASIC completion for Lyng code (IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3+).
What it does:
- Global suggestions: in-scope parameters, same-file declarations (functions/classes/vals), imported modules, and stdlib symbols.
- Member completion after dot: offers only members of the inferred receiver type. It works for chained calls like `Path(".." ).lines().` (suggests `Iterator` methods), and for literals like `"abc".` (String methods) or `[1,2,3].` (List/Iterable methods).
- Inheritance-aware: shows direct class members first, then inherited. For example, `List` also exposes common `Collection`/`Iterable` methods.
- Static/namespace members: `Name.` lists only static members when `Name` is a known class or container (e.g., `Math`).
- Performance: suggestions are capped; prefix filtering is early; parsing is cached; computation is cancellation-friendly.
What it does NOT do (yet):
- No heavy resolve or project-wide indexing. It’s best-effort, driven by a tiny MiniAst + built-in docs registry.
- No control/data-flow type inference.
Enable/disable:
- Settings | Lyng Formatter → "Enable Lyng autocompletion (experimental)" (default: ON).
Tips:
- After a dot, globals are intentionally suppressed (e.g., `lines().Path` is not valid), only the receiver’s members are suggested.
- If completion seems sparse, make sure related modules are imported (e.g., `import lyng.io.fs` so that `Path` and its methods are known).
## Why?
Designed to add scripting to kotlin multiplatform application in easy and efficient way. This is attempt to achieve what Lua is for C/++.
