Disable wordBasedSuggestions from an Extension

Question

I\'m developing an extension for VSCode which is supplying completion items but there are word suggestions among them.

I know you can in your User/Workspace settings

Answer 1

Yes, extensions can change the default value of settings by contributing configurationDefaults in package.json:

"contributes": {
    "configurationDefaults": {
        "[lang]": {
            "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false
        }
    }
}

Where lang is the ID of the language in question.
