Deno: docs: Describe how to configure shell completions

[muuvmuuv]

I would love to use the deno auto completions but cannot get them working with prezto.

deno completions zsh > /Users/marvinheilemann/.zprezto/modules/deno/init.zsh

It says _deno:12: command not found: _arguments. I wonder if I need additional steps but I couldn't find any.

Has anyone setup completions with prezto already or would it be possible to make it prezto compatible?

@muuvmuuv these completions are automatically generated by the CLI parser we're using - which is clap. It might be good to ask question there.

The issue is that zsh is very picky about how it discovers those completion files. You have to place it with file name _deno into some directory in the $fpath variable, usually /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions. Unfortunately there are no user-local paths by default.

As a one-liner:

deno completions zsh |sudo tee /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_deno

After that you can run compinit in your zsh shell and deno <TAB> should automagically work.

@intgr thanks for explanation, we should add that to documentation.
