company-solidity

Now fully integrated in solidity-mode, no longer independently maintained

company-solidity is now fully integrated in solidity-mode, and will be installed automatically alongside it when you install (or upgrade) that package, and will be enabled automatically for users who have company-mode installed. Thus, you no longer need to, nor should you, install company-solidity as a stand-alone package. This repo will continue to be hosted, but will no longer be updated going forward.

Upgrade to version 2.0.0

company-solidity has now been updated to:

• pull completion targets from solidity-mode syntax highlighting keyword lists, for greater maintainability; and
• add more completion targets which are new or were missing from previous versions (on top of the solidity-mode keyword lists).

Becuase of the first change above, company-solidity now requires solidity-mode.

Overview

This is a simple company-mode back-end for autocompletion for the Solidity programming langauge. It is intended to be used with solidity-mode.

What it does

Give completion suggestions for Solidity keywords, global variables, and address methods.

What it isn't

Smart. The completion suggestions are not context dependent.

Something to watch out for

company-mode treats . as the end of a word, and will cut off compeletion suggestions when you type a .. So, when you've typed msg you will get msg.sender, msg.value etc. as completion suggestions. However, as soon as you type msg., the suggestions will disappear.

Installation

First, install the package from MELPA with M-x package-install RET company-solidity RET, then put the following in your init.el:

(require 'company-solidity)

Alternatively, to install with use-package, put the following in your init.el:

(use-package company-solidity
  :ensure t
  :after (company))

That's it. Now open up a file in solitidy-mode and try it out!

Usage

Completion suggestions from the company-solidity back-end will automatically appear when solidity-mode is your major-mode.

Local Variables

If you want autocomplete suggestions to include local variables, as well as Solidity keywords, add the following to your init.el:

(add-hook 'solidity-mode-hook
	(lambda ()
	(set (make-local-variable 'company-backends)
		(append '((company-solidity company-capf company-dabbrev-code))
			company-backends))))
