Autocompletion

Paradime IDE is powered by a language service to help you write code faster. As you type, the system offers relevant suggestions for Generic Jinja, dbt™ Specific Jinja, and YAML Configuration that you can accept by pressing Tab or Enter.

​

Autocomplete Features

You’ll find autocomplete functionality in three key areas:

​

1. Generic Jinja

Paradime provides autocompletion for common Jinja template patterns:

• Control structures: for loops, if conditionals, blocks
• Variable operations: set assignments, multiline blocks
• Template organization: blocks, filters, macros
• Comments and whitespace: comment syntax, whitespace control
• Expressions: expression output, action execution

​

2. dbt™ Specific Jinja

Specialized autocomplete for dbt™ functions:

• Model configuration: config() with materialization options
• References: ref(), source() with project-aware suggestions
• Variables: var(), env_var() for accessing variables
• Debugging: log() with severity levels
• Query execution: run_query(), load_result()

​

3. YAML Configuration

Complete autocomplete support for dbt™ YAML files:

• Project configuration: project settings, dependencies
• Model definitions: names, columns, tests, tags
• Source definitions: tables, freshness settings
• Test configurations: generic and custom tests

Pro Tip: You can also use DinoAI to automatically generate YAML files and tests for your dbt™ project.
