# vis-lspc
A language server protocol client for the [vis editor](https://github.com/martanne/vis).
## Whats working
vis-lspc currently supports:
* `textDocument/completion`
* `textDocument/declaration`
* `textDocument/definition`
* `textDocument/references`
* `textDocument/typeDefinition`
* `textDocument/implementation`
* `textDocument/hover`
* `textDocument/rename`
* `textDocument/formatting`
* `[Diagnostics]`
## Whats not working
Everything else.
To my knowledge there is currently no good way to detect file changes via the Lua API.
But this is essential to support [Text Synchronization](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/specification-current/#textSynchronization) which is required by the
LSP protocol.
A dirty workaround we currently use is to send the whole file content in a `textDocument/didChange`
method call before calling any other method.
If someone can come up with an idea how to solve this I would appreciate contributions.
Communicating with language-servers via other channels than stdin/stdout.
Currently only a handful of language server are configured by default.
Their configuration can be found in [`supported_servers.lua`](https://gitlab.com/muhq/vis-lspc/-/blob/main/supported-servers.lua).
## Requirements
* vis must offer the `communicate` Lua API
* The API included in vis >= 0.9 is supported on the main branch
* For legacy support using the [first API draft patches](https://github.com/martanne/vis/pull/675) use the v0.2.x branch
* The language server you want to use. [Microsoft's list of implementations](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/)
* Optional: the json implementation of your choice
* must provide `encode` and `decode` methods
* vis-lspc tries to find a suitable json implementation using those candidates:
* json
* cjson
* dkjson
* bundled fallback (no utf8 support)
## Installation
1. Clone this repository into your vis plugins directory
2. Load the plugin in your `visrc.lua` with `require('plugins/vis-lspc')`
## Easy vis-lspc installation with GuixRUs
The [GuixRUs](https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus) channel provides a fork of `vis` with the [communicate](https://github.com/martanne/vis/pull/675) API patches applied. Additionally, `vis-lspc` is bundled for convenience.
After [adding GuixRUs](https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus#permanent) to your [channels.scm](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Using-a-Custom-Guix-Channel.html), run the following command to build and install `vis-lsp`:
`guix install vis-lsp`
Alternatively, you can clone GuixRUs and install from a local git checkout:
`git clone https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus`
`cd guixrus`
`guix install -L . vis-lsp`
## Usage
vis-lspc is in a early state, but if you are brave there are some default key bindings:
### Default Bindings
Normal mode:
<F2> - start a language server for win.syntax
<F3> - open win.file with a running language server
<C-]> | <gd> - jump to the definition of the symbol under the main cursor
<gD> - jump to declaration
<gd> - jump to definition
<gi> - jump to implementation
<gr> - show references
< D> - jump to type definition
<C-t> - go back in the jump history
< e> - show diagnostics of current line
<K> - hover over current position
Normal and Insert mode:
<C- > - get completions
### Available commands
# language-server management:
lspc-start-server [syntax] - start a language server for syntax or win.syntax
lspc-stop-server [syntax] - stop the language server for syntax or win.syntax
# file registration:
lspc-open - register the file in the current window
lspc-close - unregister the file in the current window
# navigation commands (they all operate on the symbol under the main cursor):
lspc-completion - syntax completion
lspc-references [e | vsplit | hsplit] - select and open a reference
lspc-declaration [e | vsplit | hsplit] - select and open a declaration
lspc-definition [e | vsplit | hsplit] - open the definition
lspc-typeDeclaration [e | vsplit | hsplit] - select and open a type declaration
lspc-implementation [e | vsplit | hsplit] - I actually have no idea what this does
lspc-back - navigate back in the goto history
# workspace edits
lspc-rename <new name> - rename the identifier under the cursor to <new name>
lspc-format - format the file in the current window
# development support
lspc-hover - hover over the current line
lspc-show-diagnostics - show the available diagnostics of the current line
lspc-next-diagnostics - jump to the next available diagnostic
lspc-prev-diagnostics - jump to the previous available diagnostic
### Available configuration options
The module table returned by `require('plugins/vis-lspc')` can be use to configure
some aspects of vis-lspc.
Available options are:
* `name = 'vis-lspc'` - the name vis-lspc introduces itself to a language server
* `logging = false` - enable logging only useful for debugging vis-lspc
* `log_file = nil` - nil, filename or function returning a filename
* If `log_file` is `nil` vis-lspc will create a new file in `$XDG_DATA_HOME/vis-lspc`
* `autostart = true` - try to start a language server in WIN_OPEN
* `menu_cmd = 'fzf' or 'vis-menu'` - program to prompt for user choices
* `confirm_cmd = 'vis-menu'` - program to prompt for user confirmation
* `ls_map` - a table mapping vis syntax names to language server configurations
* `highlight_diagnostics = 'line'` - highlight the `range` or `line`number of available diagnostics
* `diagnostic_style = 'back:#e3514f'` - style used to highlight diagnostics
#### Configure your own Language Server
If vis-lspc has no language server configuration for your desired language or server
you have to create a language server configuration and insert it into the `ls_map`
table.
Please have a look at #2 and share your configuration with everyone else.
A language server configuration is a Lua table containing a at least a `name` field
which is used to manage the language server and a `cmd` field which is used to
start the language server.
**Note:** the language server must communicate with vis-lspc via stdio.
Your language server probably supports stdio but maybe requires a [special
command line flag](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/specification-current/#implementationConsiderations).
Additional fields are:
* `settings` - a table of arbitrary possibly nested data. It is sent in a `workspace/didChangeConfiguration` to the language server after initialization. It is also used to lookup configuration for the `workspace/configuratio` method call.
* `init_options` - table of arbitrary possibly nested data. It is send to the server as `initializationOptions` in the parameters of the `initialize` method call.
* `formatting_options` - table of configuration data as found in [the LSP specification](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_formatting). `tabSize` and `insertSpaces` are required.
**Example:** The language server configuration entry in the `ls_map` for lua-language-server
```lua
ls_map.lua = {
name = 'lua-language-server',
cmd = 'lua-language-server',
settings = {
Lua = {diagnostics = {globals = {'vis'}}, telemetry = {enable = false}},
},
formatting_options = {tabSize = 2, insertSpaces = true},
},
```
Language servers configured in vis-lspc can be found in `supported_servers.lua`.
### Extensibility
The returned module table also includes functions you can use in your own vis
configuration.
#### `lspc.lspc_open`
Navigate between or in files, while remembering the current position in a runtime history.
```lua
lspc_open(win, path, line, col, cmd)
```
- `win` - a window in which to open the file
- `path` - the path to the file to open
- `line` - the line to open. (`nil` for no position within the file).
- `col` - same as `line`, but for the column.
- `cmd` - vis command to open the file. (`e` or `o`, see vis commands)
