-----------------------------------------
Summary: Custom input editor: textarea with autocompletions
Key: AIRAVATA-3345
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-3345
Project: Airavata
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Django Portal
Reporter: Marcus Christie
Assignee: Marcus Christie
Support custom autocompletions in a textarea. The use case is to improve the
user experience of users typing out input files that need to have specific
values in specific formats.
Immediate use case is https://models.earth.indiana.edu/supcrtbl2.php
The source of autocompletions for SUPCRTBL2 is a database query. If possible,
it would be nice to be able to use configuration to specify the query to
execute to get completion options. The database password could be added to the
Django settings file so it isn't exposed in the input metadata.
So the idea is that configuring such an editor would involve input metadata
something like:
{code}
{
"editor": {
"ui-component-id": "autocomplete-textarea-input-editor",
"config": {
"completions": {
"source": {
"type": "sql-query",
"query": "select text as completion from completions_table
where text like :substring",
"database-hostname": "...",
"database-port": "...",
"database-username": "...",
"database-password": "settings:MY_DB_PASSWORD",
}
}
}
}
}
{code}
Implementation ideas:
- use codemirror's autocompletions support:

- https://github.com/surmon-china/vue-codemirror ?
