Hmm, it's a good question.
Ultimately what goes in the autoComplete is up to you... it takes a string
but that doesn't have to map to any particular property.
As a little experiment, I just tweaked the todoapp's ToDoItem#autoComplete
for adding dependencies. Normally this searches on the description, but I
could change it to also allow the string to match all item in a given
category:
@Programmatic // not part of metamodel
public List<ToDoItem> autoComplete(final String description) {
final SortedSet<ToDoItem> items = Sets.newTreeSet();
items.addAll(toDoItemRepository
.findByAtPathAndDescriptionContains(currentUsersAtPath(),
description));
// this is the new bit
try {
final Category category =
Category.valueOf(description.toUpperCase());
items.addAll(toDoItemRepository
.findByAtPathAndCategory(currentUsersAtPath(),
category));
} catch(Exception ex) {
}
// end of the new bit
return Lists.newArrayList(items);
}
which gives the result as shown in this screenshot [1]
Hopefully that might give some ideas for your use case.
Thx
