[Custom Source] Parsing JSON in to cmp readable table.

[rudfol]

Hi,

The difficulty I have is understanding what kind items cmp accepts. One item would be 'label' which I understand to be
used as an entry in the completion window.
To create a custom source I've used the template you provided.

The format of this JSON file I copied from the rafamadriz /friendly-snippets json files inside snippet folder.

So far the result I get is nothing. 👎

Expected results would be 'MediaItem reaper.AddMediaItemToTrack'
(residing in the first curly bracket)
to be used as a title on the documentation window,

contents of 'prefix:' for label,

what's in the 'body' for completion (snippetable) and

the content of 'description:' for documentation.

How should I go about doing this please?

P.S I have already added the source to the cmp config and confirmed that the default template you provided for 'month' works.

So far I've read multiple cmp sources and from what I understand below should work, just absolutely no idea why it does not however.

I will be continuing to work on this, but I would loveee a pointer in the right direction please.

For anyone looking for answers:

'- #input' <-- is for replacing what you already typed with a completion rather than completion concatenating on to what you typed.

the definition of things like 'label' and 'InsertTextMode' go see LSP Spec at: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/

I created a plugin to parse JSON and extract fields to be used for completions, check it out joe-dil/json-cmp
