perl-lsp-completion

Perl-aware completion engine for textDocument/completion. It turns an AST, the current cursor location, and optional workspace context into ranked completion items for variables, functions, keywords, packages, methods, file paths, and test helpers.

Use this crate when

Use perl-lsp-completion if you need the completion logic itself. Use perl-lsp-completion-item if you only need the item types and deterministic sorting, and use perl-lsp-providers when you want the umbrella re-export surface for the whole provider stack.

Key exports

• CompletionProvider - builds completion results from AST and optional index
• CompletionContext - request-scoped state such as prefix and trigger
• CompletionItem / CompletionItemKind - normalized completion payloads
• get_dbi_method_documentation and get_test_more_documentation - Perl-aware documentation helpers for completion hints

Example

use perl_lsp_completion::CompletionProvider;

let provider = CompletionProvider::new_with_index(&ast, None);
let items = provider.get_completions(source, byte_offset);

Stack role

This is the feature crate that backs perl-lsp completion handling. It sits above parsing and workspace indexing, and below the editor-facing LSP runtime.
