[[EndpointCompleter-EndpointCompleter]]
=== EndpointCompleter
As of *Camel 2.12*.
This API is an optional SPI interface for link:component.adoc[Component]
implementors. It provides a completion hook; rather like bash tab
completion, or the completion in the
http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/#_using_the_console[Karaf
shell] when typing commands.
Nice behaving components should implement EndpointCompleter and its
completion method. The method is given a
ComponentConfiguration object which wraps up all the various configuration values (and can be
used to create a new Endpoint instance if required - or inject values
into an exemplar internal instance).
The *completeEndpointPath()* method then returns a list of Strings of
the matching values available.
For example here's the
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/file/FileComponent.java#L78[implementation
code in the FileComponent to implement completeEndpointPath()].
Some example implementations include:
