How do I get value hints in IntelliJ IDE?

[gesmit74]

I installed KCL language server extension, this works fairly well for basic type hints, but for defined values, I get nothing.

I've used pkl before and values defined in a config were available in the type hinting.
example:

schema App:
    namespace: "space1" | "space2"

when defining the namespace for app, I would expect to see a type hint showing the available values.

Hello, do you mean the values of "space1" and "space2" when enter the : char or enter the " or s chars?

This is exactly what I mean. Do I specify this wrong? I followed the abstraction example to generate the kubernetes yaml file for my projects. My app contains all schemas and I have a build.k file which renders the yaml, just like the kubernetes_render.k in the abstraction example.

import app
_name = "App name"

app.App {
    name = _name
    namespace = "space1"
}

Do you means want to display attribute type hint when defining config? e.g.

schema App:
    namespace: "space1" | "space2"

app [:APP] = App{
    namespace [: "space1" | "space2"] : "space1"
}

Where [:APP] and [: "space1" | "space2"] is hint

[gesmit74]

That is correct, when typing the : or quote or press ctrl + space for auto complete, I would assume that I get the available values as hint.

I have impl this feature in #1659 will be available in the next version

[He1pa]

Currently, there are several situations where prompt information is provided.
1, when typing config attr name, provide complete item and it type

2. after this, provide type hint for attr
   

3. hover info
   

4. when typing : or =，provide available complete item according by it type
   
   bool -> True and False
   str -> ""
   list -> []
   dict -> {}
   Union -> each item
   schema -> pkg.schemaName {}

If you have more feat, welcome for your feedback

I was waiting for this in the new release, but just saw that is has been reverted. Why? And can we expect that is will be in the next release? This is really a show stopper for us as a company to use KCL.

We have encountered some problems with the display of hints on some expressions. And it is difficult to solve in a short time. After the problem is solved, we will add this feature again.

We re-provide this feature in this PR: #1751
