|
|
||||||
It's a little more involved if you are in an interpolation. If you have an interpolation of `{{data.---}}` inside a `div` and need the completion list after `data.---`, the compiler can't use the HTML AST to find the answer. The HTML AST can only tell the compiler that there is some text with the characters "`{{data.---}}`". That's when the template parser produces an expression AST, which resides within the template AST. The Angular Language Services then looks at `data.---` within its context and asks the TypeScript Language Service what the members of data are. TypeScript then returns the list of possibilities.
