syl20bnr 74fdbb6795 Refactor and simplify company backends declaration
Enabling a company backend for a specific mode was a tedious tasks with code
scattered at different locations, one for local variable definitions, one for
company hook function definitions and another where the backends were pushed to
the local variables (which was problematic, since we ended up pushing the same
backends over and over again with `SPC f e R`, pushes have been replaced by
add-to-list calls in the new macro).

All these steps are now put together at one place with the new macro
spacemacs|add-company-backends, check its docstring for more info on its
arguments.

This macro also allows to define arbitrary buffer local variables to tune
company for specific modes (similar to layer variables via a keyword :variables)

The code related to company backends management has been moved to the
auto-completion layer in the funcs.el file. A nice side effect of this move is
that it enforces correct encapsulation of company backends related code. We can
now easily detect if there is some configuration leakage when the
auto-completion layer is not used. But we loose macro expansion at file loading
time (not sue it is a big concern though).

The function spacemacs|enable-auto-complete was never used so it has been
deleted which led to the deletion of the now empty file core-auto-completion.el.

The example in LAYERS.org regarding auto-completion is now out of date and has
been deleted. An example to setup auto-completion is provided in the README.org
file of the auto-completion layer.

Restclient layer

Description

This layer lets you have a REPL-like interface for http requests using a restclient buffer or an org buffer.

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add restclient to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Configuration

By default the layer uses restclient. To use org via ob-http by default set the layer variable restclient-use-org to t.

Note that both restclient and ob-http are always installed so you can choose the mode at any time.

Restclient

Any file with an .http extension is opened in a restclient buffer. Full documentation and examples can be found in the package's GitHub Page. Also there is an Emacs Rocks! episode of it.

There is support for org-babel and restclient code blocks, for instance:

#+BEGIN_SRC restclient
  GET http://example.com
#+END_SRC

Keybindings

Key Binding Description
SPC m n Jump to next request
SPC m p Jump to previous request
SPC m s Send and stay in window (pretty-print response if possible)
SPC m S Send and switch window (pretty-print response if possible)
SPC m r Send and stay in window (do not attempt to pretty-print)
SPC m R Send and switch window (do not attempt to pretty-print)
SPC m y Copy query under the cursor as a curl command

ob-http

Any file with an .http extension is opened in an org buffer with org babel configured to use ob-http. Full documentation and examples can be found in the package's GitHub Page.
