Problem:
Besides being redundant with vim.iter():flatten(), `tbl_flatten` has
these problems:
- Has `tbl_` prefix but only accepts lists.
- Discards some results! Compare the following:
- iter.flatten():
```
vim.iter({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } }):flatten():totable()
```
- tbl_flatten:
```
vim.tbl_flatten({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } })
```
Solution:
Deprecate tbl_flatten.
Note:
iter:flatten() currently fails ("flatten() requires a list-like table")
on this code from gen_lsp.lua:
local anonym = vim.iter({ -- remove nil
anonymous_num > 1 and '' or nil,
'---@class ' .. anonymous_classname,
}):flatten():totable()
Should we enhance :flatten() to work for arrays?
Style improvements:
1. Anonymous classes derived from `StructureLiteralType` should have a
better name. The class name can be also nested. Examples:
```diff
----@field serverInfo? anonym1
+---@field serverInfo? lsp._anonym1.serverInfo
```
```diff
----@field insertTextModeSupport? anonym26
+---@field insertTextModeSupport? lsp._anonym26.completionItem.insertTextModeSupport
```
2. Add one separate empty line before each `@field` definition. Without
these, empty lines the doc can look confusing because descriptions
also may contain empty lines. See `lsp.CompletionItem` for example:
```lua
---The kind of this completion item. Based of the kind
---an icon is chosen by the editor.
---@field kind? lsp.CompletionItemKind
---Tags for this completion item.
---
---@since 3.15.0
---@field tags? lsp.CompletionItemTag[]
```
It might feel like "Tags for this completion item" belongs to `kind`,
not `tags` due to the lack of separator blank lines. The following
(after this commit) should look much better:
```diff
---The kind of this completion item. Based of the kind
---an icon is chosen by the editor.
---@field kind? lsp.CompletionItemKind
+---
---Tags for this completion item.
---
---@since 3.15.0
---@field tags? lsp.CompletionItemTag[]
```
3. Escape some LSP-specific annotations that can't be recognized by
lua-ls. It'd be better to make them visible in LSP hover doc windows.
Example: `@sample ...`.
Fixes:
1. A type may extend from more than one base types (as well as mixin
types). Previously only the first base class was being considered,
resulting incomplete base classes for `@class` definitions.
Example: `InlayHintOptions` (should have both of `resolveProvider`
and `workDoneProgress`, the latter is from `WorkDoneProgressOptions`)
```diff
----@class lsp.InlayHintOptions
+---@class lsp.InlayHintOptions: lsp.WorkDoneProgressOptions
```
2. Remove `<200b>` (zero-width space) unicode characters.
3. Add the missing newline at EOF.
- Improve CLI argument parsing, rejects invalid argument and commands as
early as possible. Also prints USAGE in the command line.
- No longer allows `--<outfile>`, use `--out <outfile>` instead.
- Print a little bit of verbose messages to better know what's going on
rather than remaining silent at all times.
- Add type annotation `gen_lsp._opt` to avoid type warnings.
Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json
Solution: Improve some function and type annotations:
* use recognized uv.* types
* disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua
* docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type)
* add type alias for lpeg pattern
* fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust`
* rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter)
* fix some "missing fields" warnings
* add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua
* rename lsp meta files for consistency
Problem:
- Notifications are missing from `lsp.Methods`.
- Need a way to represent `$/` prefixed methods.
Solution:
- Generate notifications.
- Use "dollar_" prefix for `$/` methods.
