Method Detail

generateValueHints

List<org.springframework.boot.configurationmetadata.ValueHint> generateValueHints(org.springframework.boot.configurationmetadata.ConfigurationMetadataProperty property,
                                                                                  ClassLoader classLoader)

For a given property, return a list of ValueHint that may apply.

Parameters:

property - property for which to generate value hints

classLoader - class loader for the artifact/module that this property applies to; this may be used to load other classes/resources for generating value hints

Returns:

list of value hints for the provided property

isExclusive

boolean isExclusive(org.springframework.boot.configurationmetadata.ConfigurationMetadataProperty property)

Return true if the values returned by this provider are the only values that apply as completion proposals. If this returns true, then no other kind of completion applies until one of the returned values has been typed in full.

Parameters:

property - property for which to determine if the values returned by this provider are exclusive

Returns:

true if the values returned by this provider are exclusive, thus requiring one of these values to be provided before any other ValueHintProvider may be applied
