It is important to define the buffer local backend variables
in a config.el otherwise it is not available in the layer
configuration if the auto-completion layer is removed.
There were also some issues by hiding the explicit
configuration of company inside a macro, for instance
helm-spacemacs is unable to display the company package
configured in a given layer if the auto-completion layer
is removed.
Adds the spacemacs|init-layer-company helper to set up company
completion for a language layer and replaces existing simple company
initializations. More complex initializations should use the new
architecture directly and remain untouched by this commit.
Now in addition to the <layer>/init-<pkg> function there are
- <layer>/pre-init-<pkg> (executed before <layer>/init-<pkg>)
- <layer>/post-init-<pkg> (executed after <layer>/init-<pkg>)
The init function is mandatory, if it is not present then the
package is ignored and not installed.
This mechanism allows soft (implicit) cross layers dependencies
between packages (see company for more info).
It is now possible to remove flycheck from spacemacs layer and
move it to its own syntax-checking layer.
Move company and auto-complete to a common layer.
They are not enabled globally anymore, each mode using them
must explicitly declare a hook.
Only one frontend is supported for a given mode, we have to
choose the best between the two.
Only one key binding to toggle auto-completion on `SPC t a` no
matter if it is company or auto-complete. The lighter in the
mode-line is Ⓐ for both frontends.
