Rank autocomplete suggestions about purescript-language-server HOT 5 CLOSED

The 2nd point, are you suggesting a heuristic based on matching the last segment of the module name? Looks like this also applies to point 1

We (I) also discussed:

Rank by already-imported idnetifier

• import Data.Array (length) with len should suggest Data.Array.length first (possibly not even show length from incompatible modules but that's a separate issue)

(It may make sense to split this issue depending on what's implemented but lets keep ranking suggestions here until the first iteration is released)

If you implement this, it would be nice if you could write down the rules you're following so we could consider implementing them in purs ide.

Sorry, yes that's two rules specifically around autocomplete with an unimported qualified identifier. It should consider the name when ranking results. So, the heuristic is basically

• If there's already a type imported with the same name, it should always rank that module first
• Otherwise it should consider namespace segments to find a likely fit. Probably something like segment match and hierarchy, so List would probably rank Data.List above Data.List.Lazy.

Another way to rank would be to infer if we are likely in a type declaration and provide type suggestions first instead of constructors. Additionally, if we've already imported a type, it should also let us import the constructors after the fact. I'm not sure if this is a psc-ide bug though.

Implemented in #15. Please raise any additional heuristics as a new issue
