Usage of ace-linters

[jasonterando]

Hi, I have ace-linters working in my application now, but I have some questions about usage I was hoping somebody could help me out with. My use case is that I am building an in-app editor, and the editor will be used to create JavaScript test scripts. I'm sure this is all documented somewhere, but I am having trouble finding this info

1. Can I "inject" variables in for autocompletion/validation when loading an editor? For example, if I wanted to inject a variable named response like response = { url: 'http://foo', status: 200 } so that "response.url" will be valid, is there a way I can do that?

2. Similarly, can I inject typings files? For example, I'm using Chai for assertions, and I'd like that to show up without errors.

3. Does this tool facilitate autocompletion of "standard" JavaScript, like "Object." would allow me to choose between "entries", "keys", etc.

Again, if there are docs for all this, apologies, just point me in the right direction. Thanks!

@jasonterando Hi! You could provide extraLibs for typescript service like that. All standard library declarations are included, so Object.entries/keys should work.
