Extended providers ❤

Atom-path-intellisense is not only based on default providers. Decoupling path suggestions mechanism from autocomplete-plus provider API gives the advantage of writing extended providers that cover more specific contexts and can be formatted in their own way.

We refer as extended providers to providers targeted to a specific language or more specific scope selectors and context.

An extended provider has to be in compliance with the following:

• Extend base class BasePathProvider.
• Implement following methods:
  • canResolve()
  • resolve()
  • activate. (optional)
  • deactivate. (optional)
• Optionally use a custom formatter. Eg. to trim file extensions. Custom formatters have to be in compliance with the following:
  • Extend base class BaseFormatter.
  • Implement format method in order to format raw suggestions.
