Jifty::Action::Autocomplete - An action for making autocompletion suggestions

DESCRIPTION

Top

A built-in Jifty::Action which returns suggested autocompletions for a given argument of an action. Generally this is called by Jifty's internals through /__jifty/autocomplete.xml.

This action gets its data to /__jifty/autocomplete.xml by filling in the completions of the content in Jifty::Result.

arguments

The arguments for Autocomplete are:

action

The moniker (moniker in Jifty::Manual::Glossary) of an action we want to pull a field to autocomplete from.

argument

The fully qualified name of the argument (argument in Jifty::Manual::Glossary) to action that we want to complete.

take_action

Find the submitted action in the Jifty::Request named by the action above, and ask it for autocompletion possibilities for the argument in question.
