CompletionContributor: how to use withPrefixMatcher?


Hello!

I deeply appreciate the new CompletionContributor API with all the Javadoc, however i still can't figure out how can i override the PrefixMatcher.

Details: i have PsiNamedElement with text "$abc" and getName() for it returns just "abc". I want the user when he/she types "$" and invokes completion to see "abc" in the completion list and not "$abc".
All the variants for completion are found through getVariants() of "$abc" element.

Here's what i'm trying to do, which is wrong i guess:



public boolean fillCompletionVariants(CompletionParameters parameters, CompletionResultSet result) {
    if (parameters.getPosition().getParent() instanceof Variable) {
      result = result.withPrefixMatcher(new VariablePrefixMatcher(result.getPrefixMatcher().getPrefix()));
    }

    return super.fillCompletionVariants(parameters, result);
  }



What should i do instead of this for the code to work?

Thanks, jay

The simplest way is to change reference getRangeInElement() method so
that it doesn't include the leading $ character, and not mess with
prefix matchers at all.

I've did it that way right now, but i still want to know how to do it with the prefixMatcher ;-)

You could create your own CompletionContributor, check the caret
position there, somehow extract the prefix from file text, obtain new
matcher via CompletionResultSet#withPrefixMatcher() and feed your lookup
elements to that new matcher. They would be checked against the
specified new prefix and, if they are matched, eventually show in lookup.
