zsh & bash completions

[gillchristian]

I see there's already some work in progress for adding fish completions (#105).

Would you be interested to add bash and zsh ones?

A friend of mine is working on a way to generate completions (completely). At the moment it only supports a JSON declaration as the input. Eventually there will be a DSL to write them and/or some way to generate completions from the --help command.

I can write the JSON declaration and then generate them and open a PR or the other option is to have the JSON declarations in the repo and run it in a build step.

Also, great project! Thanks for working on this! 🎉

The new version (implemented in Rust) is shipped with completions:

fnm completions --shell {bash,zsh,fish,powershell}

will produce shell completions

I have a problem with the zsh completions. There is no instructions what to do with the output provided by fnm. Apparently for fish it works out of the box, but this does not seem to be the case with zsh.

Hi @anan44! What's up 😄

I'm not entirely sure how to do with zsh completions, but I know that homebrew installs them (verified that) and I know that it works for me on my machine, and this is how I did it locally:

fnm completions --shell=zsh > ~/.zfunc/_fnm

because I have the following in my .zshrc:

fpath+=~/.zfunc
compinit

I guess it says:

• add the ~/.zfunc dir to the functions dir
• initialize completions

Can you try that to install completions?

Hi @Schniz!

First of all huge hats off for faster that speed of light response!

I tried your instructions and it works like a charm! Thanks mate!

I'm using antigen and followed these steps:

1. Added zsh-completions antigen plugin in ~/.zshrc
2. Then ran fnm completions --shell=zsh > ~/.antigen/bundles/zsh-users/zsh-completions/src/_fnm as given here.

Works for me.

Installing latest fnm (using zsh) adds the completions automatically to /opt/homebrew/share/zsh/site-functions (mentioned in the notes after installation).

So adding this to .zshrc is enough:

fpath+="/opt/homebrew/share/zsh/site-functions"

autoload -Uz compinit
compinit

I wish this was in the README.
