After some though, I've realized that this sort of thing is potentially obstructive to the way that users might write code. For instance, let's say I have

var x =
    <div>
        <span>
    </

Let's say I'm actually simply intent on closing my div element. I'm going to try to come back to my span element later, but you're giving no suggestions to me. Now that impedes the flow as I type, expecting to be completed by div.

I think you should consider giving completions for all containing open tags who don't have an appropriate corresponding closing tag. That means that for:

<div>
  <span>
    <a>
  </ span
</ div>

It might be the case that the a is considered closed, but its matching closing tag is span. That means a probably still needs to be closed, so you should show it in the completion list. That also means that div and span also lack a matching tag (<span> gets closed with </ div>, and <div> is unclosed).

We should discuss this a bit tomorrow.

This seems like an odd state to be in.

@bowdenk7 - Maybe we can get some people writing JSX in our next usability study so we can see what order people actually go in. That could be very informative.

@DanielRosenwasser yes. I don't think I got what you trying to say in the last part of the comment
and I agree with @RyanCavanaugh it is odd to come back to close the tag later. I can see more that you want to come back and type between tags.

Also to clarify, this behavior is only when you don't have react.d.ts.

We only show the closing tag element when you don't have a valid JSX namespace? That seems fine then. I'm mainly trying to avoid a scenario where you have someone with extremely weird typing habits (like myself) where they end up fighting the editor.

@DanielRosenwasser yep, this behavior is only trigger when we don't have valid JSX name.

@DanielRosenwasser @RyanCavanaugh @sandersn Any more comments?

We're exposing this in our API, so we should discuss this with @mhegazy in a meeting, but other than that 👍
