Not-hardcoded provideCompletionItems

[alrod]

Is it possible to call web service in provideCompletionItems to return not-hardcoded/dynamic provideCompletetionItems?

monaco.languages.registerCompletionItemProvider('mySpecialLanguage', {
provideCompletionItems: () => {
return [
{
label: 'simpleText',
kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Text
}, {
label: 'testing',
kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Keyword,
insertText:'testing({{condition}})'
},
{
label: 'ifelse',
kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Snippet,
insertText: [
'if ({{condition}}) {',
'\t{{}}',
'} else {',
'\t',
'}'
].join('\n'),
documentation: 'If-Else Statement'
}
]
}
});

The API supports returning a promise, inside of which you can perform your lookup.

return new Promise(succ => {
    ajax.then(jsonList => {
        succ(jsonList)
    });
});

instead of returning your array directly.

@alrod I have created a sample (it uses a hover provider, but the idea is the same, exactly as @stofte commented):
