Methods and systems for autocompletion

1. A method comprising:

extending, by a computing system, a command line interface (CLI) to an extended CLI by installing a first plugin or uninstalling a second plugin, the CLI being developed using a plug-in based framework and including a core set of commands;

generating, by the computing system, an extended autocomplete application via metaprogramming in response to extending the CLI to the extended CLI, the extended autocomplete application being extended from an autocomplete application corresponding to the CLI; and

transmitting, by the computing system, requests for autocomplete information, the requests being generated by the extended autocomplete application.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein installing the first plugin corresponds to adding a first command to the CLI and said uninstalling the second plugin corresponds to removing a second command from the CLI.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein each of the CLI and the extended CLI includes the core set of commands and both are associated with an application development platform.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the autocomplete application is associated with the CLI, and the extended autocomplete application corresponds to the extended CLI.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the autocomplete information is used to complete the first command entered via the extended CLI and based on context of the first command.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the request for the autocomplete information is received via an application programming interface (API) associated with the application development platform.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the extended CLI and the extended autocomplete application are unique to a user of the application development platform.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requests for autocomplete information generated by the extended autocomplete application correspond to at least one additional command from a set of additional commands available due to the extended CLI, the set of additional commands being different than the core set of commands, wherein the extended CLI and the extended autocomplete application are both compatible with the set of additional commands and the core set of commands.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed, cause one or more processors to:

extend a command line interface (CLI) to an extended CLI by installing a first plugin or uninstalling a second plugin, the CLI being developed using a plug-in based framework and including a core set of commands;

generate an extended autocomplete application via metaprogramming in response to extending the CLI to the extended CLI, the extended autocomplete application being extended from an autocomplete application corresponding to the CLI; and

transmit requests for autocomplete information, the requests being generated by the extended autocomplete application.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein installing the first plugin corresponds to adding a first command to the CLI and said uninstalling the second plugin corresponds to removing a second command from the CLI.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein each of the CLI and the extended CLI includes the core set of commands and both are associated with an application development platform.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the autocomplete application is associated with the CLI, and the extended autocomplete application corresponds to the extended CLI.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the autocomplete information is used to complete the first command entered via the extended CLI and based on context of the first command.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the request for the autocomplete information is received via an application programming interface (API) associated with the application development platform.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the extended CLI and the extended autocomplete application are unique to a user of the application development platform.

16. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code embodied therein to be executed by one or more processors, the program code including instructions to:

extend a command line interface (CLI) to an extended CLI by installing a first plugin or uninstalling a second plugin, the CLI being developed using a plug-in based framework and including a core set of commands;

generate an extended autocomplete application via metaprogramming in response to extending the CLI to the extended CLI, the extended autocomplete application being extended from an autocomplete application corresponding to the CLI; and

transmit requests for autocomplete information, the requests being generated by the extended autocomplete application.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein installing the first plugin corresponds to adding a first command to the CLI and said uninstalling the second plugin corresponds to removing a second command from the CLI.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein each of the CLI and the extended CLI includes the core set of commands and both are associated with an application development platform.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein the autocomplete application is associated with the CLI, and the extended autocomplete application corresponds to the extended CLI.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein the autocomplete information is used to complete the first command entered via the extended CLI and based on context of the first command; and

wherein the request for the autocomplete information is received via an application programming interface (API) associated with the application development platform.
