Accessing Tiddlers from JavaScript

[Vaughn Papenhausen]

I should probably begin by saying that I am the noobiest of noobs. I know nothing about coding, just dipping my toes in for the first time. So I have a super, super basic question.

I'm trying to make a modification to the CodeMirror autocomplete plugin. In particular, instead of autocompleting any word in the current tiddler, or autocompleting HTML, I want it to autocomplete tiddler titles (think Roam Research); basically I'm trying to do what SnowGoon's TW5-extendedit plugin does, except in CodeMirror. But CodeMirror is written in JavaScript, not WikiText. So my question is this: how do I load, say, the text of a tiddler, or the title of a tiddler, into a variable in JavaScript? Is there a list of methods somewhere? Reading through code from SnowGoon's plugin I came across the command "$tw.wiki.getTiddlerData()", but I don't know exactly how it works, or what other similar commands there are. I tried looking through the developer documentation for TW but couldn't find anything (I'm guessing this is because I failed to search well enough rather than because it's not there). Could anyone point me to the correct place in the documentation, or explain how to do this?
