non-python sources about nvim-completion-manager HOT 4 CLOSED

You can use any language, python3 is more preferable for this framework currently.

use the same protocol as autoload/cm/sources/ultisnips.vim cm#sources#ultisnips#cm_refresh function did.

If the completion calculation takes a while, you should call cm#complete later, through your own async channel, instead of in the same refresh handler function. Otherwise it will block the ui, since vimscript is single threaded.

The framework will handle synchronization properly.

This is the registering code in pure vimscript:

au User CmSetup call cm#register_source({'name' : 'cm-ultisnips',
        \ 'priority': 7,  
        \ 'abbreviation': 'Snip',
        \ 'cm_refresh_patterns':['\S{1,}$'],
        \ 'cm_refresh': 'cm#sources#ultisnips#cm_refresh',
        \ })

" css
" the omnifunc pattern is PCRE
au User CmSetup call cm#register_source({'name' : 'cm-css',
        \ 'priority': 9,  
        \ 'scopes': ['css','scss'],
        \ 'abbreviation': 'css',
        \ 'cm_refresh_patterns':['\w{2,}$',':\s+\w*$'],
        \ 'cm_refresh': {'omnifunc': 'csscomplete#CompleteCSS'},
        \ })

I'll update the documentation for this, ask any question if you get confused.

Here is an example using asyncomplete that is written in vim script that uses job.

https://github.com/prabirshrestha/asyncomplete-tscompletejob.vim/blob/5eedc54022ffdc44fc1f4e7e13271ec19513a3a0/autoload/asyncomplete/sources/tscompletejob.vim
https://github.com/prabirshrestha/asyncomplete-gocode.vim/blob/93161392b82b42e36a78cdebdab32a9ea050fdff/autoload/asyncomplete/sources/gocode.vim

Since asyncomplete is fork of nvim-completion-manager you should be able to do the same. But as roxma mentioned vim script is single thread so you could still be blocked. I have been using the typescript asyncomplete job for a large codebase at work for at least a week and haven't noticed any lag.
