Questions on Custom Completers

[bkilrain]

1. What is the difference between the concepts of snippets and completers?
2. Can someone share a link to the source code which defines the interface for a completer object? Are all valid completer properties referenced in this file?
3. How can I adjust the styles for the popup? Just a CSS override or is there a knob for that somewhere? Specifically, I want to have it mount wider the 300px to accommodate longer name/meta values.

Loving the library so far... it's clear, from other implementations in the wild, ACE is super powerful - I just need a few hints to know where to find my answers in src.

Answering my own question for #1 -

Snippets API is detailed here: https://cloud9-sdk.readme.io/docs/snippets though I'm still fuzzy on how to apply a custom snippets file.

To add custom snippets you can use something similar to what language_tools does

        var {snippetManager} = ace.require("ace/snippets")
        var snippets = snippetManager.parseSnippetFile(snippetText);

        snippetManager.register(snippets, "defaultLanguageName");

if you store snippets as an array of objects you can use JSON.parse instead of using parseSnippetFile.
