Omelette: Simple Autocompletion Helper for Node.js

It's just a name. I'm not good at finding cool names for projects. :( And "complete" is reserved in NPM. Nightly name. :)

Just be glad he took it before someone came along with omellete.ly, a new service that brings social to commandline arguments.

On a serious note, I think it's a smart move to use a name like this, or something like Carrotjuice.js or MochaDB. Names are important and so are the trends that accompany them.

My assumption was a pun, "I'm a let you finish => "Omelet you finish"

I'll accept (begrudgingly so) cutesy names. I take issue with simple nouns that could be an obvious thing but are taken by another project because they're easy to remember.

Example: "bingo" Node module. I was thinking of building a simple Bingo game app using Socket.IO, and creating a module that lets it be included in an app. The name is already taken, by a module for .. testing function calls. May be a great project, but how is "bingo" better than "function-introspection". Modules names are pretty much domain squatting.

Next language that comes out with a module system I should grab names like "database" and make the modules randomly post obscenities to Twitter or something equally unrelated.

Reminds me of http://jacquesmattheij.com/The+worst+program+I+ever+worked+o...:

> Some bug had popped up in this program and the guy assigned to fix it had come back alternatively laughing and crying babbling nonsense about ‘pizzas calling hamburgers and passing booze’.... The software this guy left behind did not have any logic bombs or other nasty tricks in it, it compiled just fine, and besides that one bug it seemed to work fine as well. Imagine this though: every function and variable name in the program was named after food.

It's a helper to build CLI (bash, zsh) tools with autocompletion feature using Node.js. You can use it when you are building a CLI tool with Node.

Anywhere you are accepting command line arguments. You might not know about bash-completion even if you are a basic shell user; I know in Debian, it's necessary to install the package "bash-completion" and un-comment a few lines in /etc/bash.bashrc to enable it.

Basic bash completion looks for files in the filesystem. The bash-completion package provides hints so that you can auto-complete semantically, for example

  $ apt-get up<tab><tab>
  update   upgrade

  $ apt-get install bash<tab><tab>
  bash             bash-builtins    bashburn
  bash-completion  bashdb           bash-doc
  bash-static
