The autocomplete doesn't show any description about codemirror-graphql

Hey @imolorhe - sorry it took a while to get to you. Did you resolve this? The link shows me 404 at the moment.

@asiandrummer This is the current link: https://github.com/imolorhe/altair/blob/staging/src/app/components/query-editor/query-editor.component.ts#L134

I've not yet resolved it.

@imolorhe I couldn't find where you're rendering the autocomplete results, but I'm throwing a random guess that you may be using an incorrect key name for accessing autocomplete result items. Below is the type:

type AutocompleteResultItem = {
  text: string,
  type: GraphQLType,
  description?: string,
  isDeprecated: boolean,
  deprecationReason: string,
};

Do I need to specially render it? I just use it as any code mirror add-on. I didn't eclogite l explicitly render the autocomplete.

[asiandrummer]

You don't if you're using the stock codemirror/show-hint addon and just wanted to render the autocomplete result texts. As shown in show-hint section in the addons page, codemirror won't understand the description key that we're passing from the autocomplete suggestion provider.

GraphiQL uses a custom UI renderer to solve this.

Oh okay, makes sense now. Thanks.

I guess that bit is missed in the docs for this add on then.

:D let me know if you have other questions! Closing this for now.
