Function MatchPrecedence

parse/complete/complete.go:183–192

MatchPrecedence returns the sorting precedence of the given completion relative to the given lowercase seed. The completion is assumed to already match the seed by [IsSeedMatching]. A lower return value indicates a higher precedence.

(lseed string, completion string)

// is assumed to already match the seed by [IsSeedMatching]. A
// lower return value indicates a higher precedence.
func MatchPrecedence(lseed string, completion string) int {
	lc := strings.ToLower(completion)
	if strings.HasPrefix(lc, lseed) {
		return 0
	}
	if len(lseed) > 0 && strings.HasPrefix(lc, lseed[:1]) {
		return 1
	}
	return 2
}

// SeedSpace returns the text after the last whitespace,
// which is typically used for creating a completion seed string.
