0 GB

Arguments:
  • data (Object) – general data about the game you might want to autocomplete.
  • args (string[]) – current arguments. Minus run script.js

data is an object with the following properties:

{
    servers: list of all servers in the game.
    txts:    list of all text files on the current server.
    scripts: list of all scripts on the current server.
    flags:   the same flags function as passed with ns. Calling this function adds all the flags as autocomplete arguments
}

This function is special as it must be declared as a top level function like main.

Example:

export function autocomplete(data, args) {
    return [...data.servers]; // This script autocompletes the list of servers.
    return [...data.servers, ...data.scripts]; // Autocomplete servers and scripts
    return ["low", "medium", "high"]; // Autocomplete 3 specific strings.
}

Terminal:

$ run demo.js mega\t
// results in
$ run demo.js megacorp
