NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
LSP client/framework *lsp* *LSP*
Nvim supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP), which means it acts as
a client to LSP servers and includes a Lua framework `vim.lsp` for building
enhanced LSP tools.
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/
LSP facilitates features like go-to-definition, find-references, hover,
completion, rename, format, refactor, etc., using semantic whole-project
analysis (unlike |ctags|).
Type |gO| to see the table of contents.
==============================================================================
QUICKSTART *lsp-quickstart*
Nvim provides an LSP client, but the servers are provided by third parties.
Follow these steps to get LSP features:
1. Install language servers using your package manager or by
following the upstream installation instruction.
A list of language servers is available at:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/
2. Configure the LSP client per language server.
A minimal example:
>
vim.lsp.start({
name = 'my-server-name',
cmd = {'name-of-language-server-executable'},
root_dir = vim.fs.dirname(vim.fs.find({'setup.py', 'pyproject.toml'}, { upward = true })[1]),
})
<
See |vim.lsp.start()| for details.
3. Configure keymaps and autocmds to utilize LSP features.
See |lsp-config|.
<
*lsp-config*
Starting a LSP client will automatically report diagnostics via
|vim.diagnostic|. Read |vim.diagnostic.config()| to learn how to customize the
display.
It also sets some buffer options if the options are otherwise empty and if the
language server supports the functionality.
- 'omnifunc' is set to |vim.lsp.omnifunc()|. This allows to trigger completion
using |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|
- 'tagfunc' is set to |vim.lsp.tagfunc()|. This enables features like
go-to-definition, |:tjump|, and keymaps like |CTRL-]|, |CTRL-W_]|,
|CTRL-W_}| to utilize the language server.
- 'formatexpr' is set to |vim.lsp.formatexpr()| if both 'formatprg' and
'formatexpr' are empty. This allows to format lines via |gq| if the language
server supports it.
To use other LSP features like hover, rename, etc. you can setup some
additional keymaps. It's recommended to setup them in a |LspAttach| autocmd to
ensure they're only active if there is a LSP client running. An example:
>
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspAttach', {
callback = function(args)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'K', vim.lsp.buf.hover, { buffer = args.buf })
end,
})
<
The most used functions are:
- |vim.lsp.buf.hover()|
- |vim.lsp.buf.format()|
- |vim.lsp.buf.references()|
- |vim.lsp.buf.implementation()|
- |vim.lsp.buf.code_action()|
Not all language servers provide the same capabilities. To ensure you only set
keymaps if the language server supports a feature, you can guard the keymap
calls behind capability checks:
>
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspAttach', {
callback = function(args)
local client = vim.lsp.get_client_by_id(args.data.client_id)
if client.server_capabilities.hoverProvider then
vim.keymap.set('n', 'K', vim.lsp.buf.hover, { buffer = args.buf })
end
end,
})
<
To learn what capabilities are available you can run the following command in
a buffer with a started LSP client:
>
:lua =vim.lsp.get_active_clients()[1].server_capabilities
<
Full list of features provided by default can be found in |lsp-buf|.
================================================================================
FAQ *lsp-faq*
- Q: How to force-reload LSP?
A: Stop all clients, then reload the buffer. >
:lua vim.lsp.stop_client(vim.lsp.get_active_clients())
:edit
- Q: Why isn't completion working?
A: In the buffer where you want to use LSP, check that 'omnifunc' is set to
"v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc": >
:verbose set omnifunc?
< Some other plugin may be overriding the option. To avoid that, you could
set the option in an |after-directory| ftplugin, e.g.
"after/ftplugin/python.vim".
- Q: How do I run a request synchronously (e.g. for formatting on file save)?
A: Check if the function has an `async` parameter and set the value to
false.
E.g. code formatting: >
" Auto-format *.rs (rust) files prior to saving them
" (async = false is the default for format)
autocmd BufWritePre *.rs lua vim.lsp.buf.format({ async = false })
<
*lsp-vs-treesitter*
- Q: How do LSP and Treesitter compare?
A: LSP requires a client and language server. The language server uses
semantic analysis to understand code at a project level. This provides
language servers with the ability to rename across files, find
definitions in external libraries and more.
Treesitter is a language parsing library that provides excellent tools
for incrementally parsing text and handling errors. This makes it a great
fit for editors to understand the contents of the current file for things
like syntax highlighting, simple goto-definitions, scope analysis and
more.
LSP and Treesitter are both great tools for editing and inspecting code.
================================================================================
LSP API *lsp-api*
LSP core API is described at |lsp-core|. Those are the core functions for
creating and managing clients.
The `vim.lsp.buf_…` functions perform operations for all LSP clients attached
to the given buffer. |lsp-buf|
LSP request/response handlers are implemented as Lua functions (see
|lsp-handler|). The |vim.lsp.handlers| table defines default handlers used
when creating a new client. Keys are LSP method names: >
:lua print(vim.inspect(vim.tbl_keys(vim.lsp.handlers)))
<
*lsp-method*
Methods are the names of requests and notifications as defined by the LSP
specification. These LSP requests/notifications are defined by default:
callHierarchy/incomingCalls
callHierarchy/outgoingCalls
textDocument/codeAction
textDocument/completion
textDocument/declaration*
textDocument/definition
textDocument/documentHighlight
textDocument/documentSymbol
textDocument/formatting
textDocument/hover
textDocument/implementation*
textDocument/publishDiagnostics
textDocument/rangeFormatting
textDocument/references
textDocument/rename
textDocument/signatureHelp
textDocument/typeDefinition*
window/logMessage
window/showMessage
window/showMessageRequest
workspace/applyEdit
workspace/symbol
* NOTE: These are sometimes not implemented by servers.
*lsp-handler*
lsp-handlers are functions with special signatures that are designed to handle
responses and notifications from LSP servers.
For |lsp-request|, each |lsp-handler| has this signature: >
function(err, result, ctx, config)
<
Parameters: ~
{err} (table|nil)
When the language server is unable to complete a
request, a table with information about the error is
sent. Otherwise, it is `nil`. See |lsp-response|.
{result} (Result | Params | nil)
When the language server is able to successfully
complete a request, this contains the `result` key of
the response. See |lsp-response|.
{ctx} (table)
Context describes additional calling state associated
with the handler. It consists of the following key,
value pairs:
{method} (string)
The |lsp-method| name.
{client_id} (number)
The ID of the |vim.lsp.client|.
{bufnr} (Buffer)
Buffer handle, or 0 for current.
{params} (table|nil)
The parameters used in the original
request which resulted in this handler
call.
{config} (table)
Configuration for the handler.
Each handler can define its own configuration table
that allows users to customize the behavior of a
particular handler.
To configure a particular |lsp-handler|, see:
|lsp-handler-configuration|
Returns: ~
The |lsp-handler| can respond by returning two values: `result, err`
Where `err` must be shaped like an RPC error:
`{ code, message, data? }`
You can use |vim.lsp.rpc.rpc_response_error()| to create this object.
For |lsp-notification|, each |lsp-handler| has this signature: >
function(err, result, ctx, config)
<
Parameters: ~
{err} (nil)
This is always `nil`.
See |lsp-notification|
{result} (Result)
This contains the `params` key of the notification.
See |lsp-notification|
{ctx} (table)
Context describes additional calling state associated
with the handler. It consists of the following key,
value pairs:
{method} (string)
The |lsp-method| name.
{client_id} (number)
The ID of the |vim.lsp.client|.
{config} (table)
Configuration for the handler.
Each handler can define its own configuration table
that allows users to customize the behavior of a
particular handler.
For an example, see:
|vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics()|
To configure a particular |lsp-handler|, see:
|lsp-handler-configuration|
Returns: ~
The |lsp-handler|'s return value will be ignored.
*lsp-handler-configuration*
To configure the behavior of a builtin |lsp-handler|, the convenient method
|vim.lsp.with()| is provided for users.
To configure the behavior of |vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics()|,
consider the following example, where a new |lsp-handler| is created using
|vim.lsp.with()| that no longer generates signs for the diagnostics: >
vim.lsp.handlers["textDocument/publishDiagnostics"] = vim.lsp.with(
vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics, {
-- Disable signs
signs = false,
}
)
<
To enable signs, use |vim.lsp.with()| again to create and assign a new
|lsp-handler| to |vim.lsp.handlers| for the associated method: >
vim.lsp.handlers["textDocument/publishDiagnostics"] = vim.lsp.with(
vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics, {
-- Enable signs
signs = true,
}
)
<
To configure a handler on a per-server basis, you can use the {handlers} key
for |vim.lsp.start_client()| >
vim.lsp.start_client {
..., -- Other configuration omitted.
handlers = {
["textDocument/publishDiagnostics"] = vim.lsp.with(
vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics, {
-- Disable virtual_text
virtual_text = false,
}
),
},
}
<
or if using 'nvim-lspconfig', you can use the {handlers} key of `setup()`: >
require('lspconfig').rust_analyzer.setup {
handlers = {
["textDocument/publishDiagnostics"] = vim.lsp.with(
vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics, {
-- Disable virtual_text
virtual_text = false
}
),
}
}
<
Some handlers do not have an explicitly named handler function (such as
||vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics()|). To override these, first
create a reference to the existing handler: >
local on_references = vim.lsp.handlers["textDocument/references"]
vim.lsp.handlers["textDocument/references"] = vim.lsp.with(
on_references, {
-- Use location list instead of quickfix list
loclist = true,
}
)
<
*lsp-handler-resolution*
Handlers can be set by:
- Setting a field in vim.lsp.handlers. *vim.lsp.handlers*
vim.lsp.handlers is a global table that contains the default mapping of
|lsp-method| names to |lsp-handlers|.
To override the handler for the `"textDocument/definition"` method: >
vim.lsp.handlers["textDocument/definition"] = my_custom_default_definition
<
- The {handlers} parameter for |vim.lsp.start_client()|.
This will set the |lsp-handler| as the default handler for this server.
For example: >
vim.lsp.start_client {
..., -- Other configuration omitted.
handlers = {
["textDocument/definition"] = my_custom_server_definition
},
}
- The {handler} parameter for |vim.lsp.buf_request()|.
This will set the |lsp-handler| ONLY for the current request.
For example: >
vim.lsp.buf_request(
0,
"textDocument/definition",
definition_params,
my_request_custom_definition
)
<
In summary, the |lsp-handler| will be chosen based on the current |lsp-method|
in the following order:
1. Handler passed to |vim.lsp.buf_request()|, if any.
2. Handler defined in |vim.lsp.start_client()|, if any.
3. Handler defined in |vim.lsp.handlers|, if any.
*vim.lsp.log_levels*
Log levels are defined in |vim.log.levels|
VIM.LSP.PROTOCOL *vim.lsp.protocol*
Module `vim.lsp.protocol` defines constants dictated by the LSP specification,
and helper functions for creating protocol-related objects.
https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/raw/gh-pages/_specifications/specification-3-14.md
For example `vim.lsp.protocol.ErrorCodes` allows reverse lookup by number or
name: >
vim.lsp.protocol.TextDocumentSyncKind.Full == 1
vim.lsp.protocol.TextDocumentSyncKind[1] == "Full"
<
*lsp-response*
For the format of the response message, see:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/specification-current/#responseMessage
*lsp-notification*
For the format of the notification message, see:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/specification-current/#notificationMessage
*lsp-on-list-handler*
`on_list` receives a table with:
- `items` table[], structured like |setqflist-what|
- `title` string, title for the list.
- `context` table|nil. `ctx` from |lsp-handler|
This table can be used with vim.fn.setqflist or vim.fn.setloclist. E.g.:
>
local function on_list(options)
vim.fn.setqflist({}, ' ', options)
vim.api.nvim_command('cfirst')
end
vim.lsp.buf.definition{on_list=on_list}
vim.lsp.buf.references(nil, {on_list=on_list})
<
If you prefer loclist do something like this:
>
local function on_list(options)
vim.fn.setloclist(0, {}, ' ', options)
vim.api.nvim_command('lopen')
end
<
================================================================================
LSP HIGHLIGHT *lsp-highlight*
Reference Highlights:
Highlight groups that are meant to be used by |vim.lsp.buf.document_highlight()|.
You can see more about the differences in types here:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification#textDocument_documentHighlight
*hl-LspReferenceText*
LspReferenceText used for highlighting "text" references
*hl-LspReferenceRead*
LspReferenceRead used for highlighting "read" references
*hl-LspReferenceWrite*
LspReferenceWrite used for highlighting "write" references
*lsp-highlight-codelens*

|vim.lsp.handlers.signature_help()|.
==============================================================================
EVENTS *lsp-events*
*LspAttach*
After an LSP client attaches to a buffer. The |autocmd-pattern| is the
name of the buffer. When used from Lua, the client ID is passed to the
callback in the "data" table. Example: >
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("LspAttach", {
callback = function(args)
local bufnr = args.buf
local client = vim.lsp.get_client_by_id(args.data.client_id)
if client.server_capabilities.completionProvider then
vim.bo[bufnr].omnifunc = "v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc"
end
if client.server_capabilities.definitionProvider then
vim.bo[bufnr].tagfunc = "v:lua.vim.lsp.tagfunc"
end
end,
})
<
*LspDetach*
Just before an LSP client detaches from a buffer. The |autocmd-pattern| is the
name of the buffer. When used from Lua, the client ID is passed to the
callback in the "data" table. Example: >
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("LspDetach", {
callback = function(args)
local client = vim.lsp.get_client_by_id(args.data.client_id)
-- Do something with the client
vim.cmd("setlocal tagfunc< omnifunc<")
end,
})
<
Also the following |User| |autocommand|s are provided:
LspProgressUpdate *LspProgressUpdate*
Upon receipt of a progress notification from the server. See
|vim.lsp.util.get_progress_messages()|.
LspRequest *LspRequest*
After a change to the active set of pending LSP requests. See {requests}
in |vim.lsp.client|.
Example: >
autocmd User LspProgressUpdate redrawstatus
autocmd User LspRequest redrawstatus
<
==============================================================================
Lua module: vim.lsp *lsp-core*
buf_attach_client({bufnr}, {client_id}) *vim.lsp.buf_attach_client()*
Implements the `textDocument/did…` notifications required to track a
buffer for any language server.
Without calling this, the server won't be notified of changes to a buffer.
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} (number) Buffer handle, or 0 for current
• {client_id} (number) Client id
buf_detach_client({bufnr}, {client_id}) *vim.lsp.buf_detach_client()*
Detaches client from the specified buffer. Note: While the server is
notified that the text document (buffer) was closed, it is still able to
send notifications should it ignore this notification.
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} (number) Buffer handle, or 0 for current
• {client_id} (number) Client id
buf_is_attached({bufnr}, {client_id}) *vim.lsp.buf_is_attached()*
Checks if a buffer is attached for a particular client.
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} (number) Buffer handle, or 0 for current
• {client_id} (number) the client id
buf_notify({bufnr}, {method}, {params}) *vim.lsp.buf_notify()*
Send a notification to a server
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} [number] (optional): The number of the buffer
• {method} [string]: Name of the request method
• {params} [string]: Arguments to send to the server
Return: ~
true if any client returns true; false otherwise
*vim.lsp.buf_request_all()*
buf_request_all({bufnr}, {method}, {params}, {callback})
Sends an async request for all active clients attached to the buffer.
Executes the callback on the combined result. Parameters are the same as
|vim.lsp.buf_request()| but the return result and callback are different.
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} (number) Buffer handle, or 0 for current.
• {method} (string) LSP method name
• {params} (optional, table) Parameters to send to the server
• {callback} (function) The callback to call when all requests are
finished.
Return: ~
(function) A function that will cancel all requests which is the same
as the one returned from `buf_request`.
*vim.lsp.buf_request_sync()*
buf_request_sync({bufnr}, {method}, {params}, {timeout_ms})
Sends a request to all server and waits for the response of all of them.
Calls |vim.lsp.buf_request_all()| but blocks Nvim while awaiting the
result. Parameters are the same as |vim.lsp.buf_request()| but the return
result is different. Wait maximum of {timeout_ms} (default 1000) ms.
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} (number) Buffer handle, or 0 for current.
• {method} (string) LSP method name
• {params} (optional, table) Parameters to send to the server
• {timeout_ms} (optional, number, default=1000) Maximum time in
milliseconds to wait for a result.
Return: ~
Map of client_id:request_result. On timeout, cancel or error, returns
`(nil, err)` where `err` is a string describing the failure reason.
client() *vim.lsp.client*
LSP client object. You can get an active client object via
|vim.lsp.get_client_by_id()| or |vim.lsp.get_active_clients()|.
• Methods:
• request(method, params, [handler], bufnr) Sends a request to the
server. This is a thin wrapper around {client.rpc.request} with some
additional checking. If {handler} is not specified, If one is not
found there, then an error will occur. Returns: {status},
{[client_id]}. {status} is a boolean indicating if the notification
was successful. If it is `false`, then it will always be `false` (the
client has shutdown). If {status} is `true`, the function returns
{request_id} as the second result. You can use this with
`client.cancel_request(request_id)` to cancel the request.
• request_sync(method, params, timeout_ms, bufnr) Sends a request to the
server and synchronously waits for the response. This is a wrapper
around {client.request} Returns: { err=err, result=result }, a
dictionary, where `err` and `result` come from the |lsp-handler|. On
timeout, cancel or error, returns `(nil, err)` where `err` is a string
describing the failure reason. If the request was unsuccessful returns
`nil`.
• notify(method, params) Sends a notification to an LSP server. Returns:
a boolean to indicate if the notification was successful. If it is
false, then it will always be false (the client has shutdown).
• cancel_request(id) Cancels a request with a given request id. Returns:
same as `notify()`.
• stop([force]) Stops a client, optionally with force. By default, it
will just ask the server to shutdown without force. If you request to
stop a client which has previously been requested to shutdown, it will
automatically escalate and force shutdown.
• is_stopped() Checks whether a client is stopped. Returns: true if the
client is fully stopped.
• on_attach(client, bufnr) Runs the on_attach function from the client's
config if it was defined. Useful for buffer-local setup.
• Members
• {id} (number): The id allocated to the client.
• {name} (string): If a name is specified on creation, that will be
used. Otherwise it is just the client id. This is used for logs and
messages.
• {rpc} (table): RPC client object, for low level interaction with the
client. See |vim.lsp.rpc.start()|.
• {offset_encoding} (string): The encoding used for communicating with
the server. You can modify this in the `config`'s `on_init` method
before text is sent to the server.
• {handlers} (table): The handlers used by the client as described in
|lsp-handler|.
• {requests} (table): The current pending requests in flight to the
server. Entries are key-value pairs with the key being the request ID
while the value is a table with `type`, `bufnr`, and `method`
key-value pairs. `type` is either "pending" for an active request, or
"cancel" for a cancel request.
• {config} (table): copy of the table that was passed by the user to
|vim.lsp.start_client()|.
• {server_capabilities} (table): Response from the server sent on
`initialize` describing the server's capabilities.
client_is_stopped({client_id}) *vim.lsp.client_is_stopped()*
Checks whether a client is stopped.
Parameters: ~
• {client_id} (Number)
Return: ~
true if client is stopped, false otherwise.
*vim.lsp.for_each_buffer_client()*
for_each_buffer_client({bufnr}, {fn})
Invokes a function for each LSP client attached to a buffer.
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} (number) Buffer number
• {fn} (function) Function to run on each client attached to buffer
{bufnr}. The function takes the client, client ID, and buffer
number as arguments. Example: >
vim.lsp.for_each_buffer_client(0, function(client, client_id, bufnr)
print(vim.inspect(client))
end)
<
formatexpr({opts}) *vim.lsp.formatexpr()*
Provides an interface between the built-in client and a `formatexpr`
function.
Currently only supports a single client. This can be set via `setlocal
formatexpr=v:lua.vim.lsp.formatexpr()` but will typically or in
`on_attach` via `vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(bufnr, 'formatexpr',
'v:lua.vim.lsp.formatexpr(#{timeout_ms:250})')`.
Parameters: ~
• {opts} (table) options for customizing the formatting expression
which takes the following optional keys:
• timeout_ms (default 500ms). The timeout period for the
formatting request.
get_active_clients({filter}) *vim.lsp.get_active_clients()*
Get active clients.
Parameters: ~
• {filter} (table|nil) A table with key-value pairs used to filter the
returned clients. The available keys are:
• id (number): Only return clients with the given id
• bufnr (number): Only return clients attached to this
buffer
• name (string): Only return clients with the given name
Return: ~
(table) List of |vim.lsp.client| objects
*vim.lsp.get_buffers_by_client_id()*
get_buffers_by_client_id({client_id})
Returns list of buffers attached to client_id.
Parameters: ~
• {client_id} (number) client id
Return: ~
list of buffer ids
get_client_by_id({client_id}) *vim.lsp.get_client_by_id()*
Gets a client by id, or nil if the id is invalid. The returned client may
not yet be fully initialized.
Parameters: ~
• {client_id} (number) client id
Return: ~
|vim.lsp.client| object, or nil
get_log_path() *vim.lsp.get_log_path()*
Gets the path of the logfile used by the LSP client.
Return: ~
(String) Path to logfile.
omnifunc({findstart}, {base}) *vim.lsp.omnifunc()*
Implements 'omnifunc' compatible LSP completion.
Parameters: ~
• {findstart} 0 or 1, decides behavior
• {base} If findstart=0, text to match against
Return: ~
(number) Decided by {findstart}:
• findstart=0: column where the completion starts, or -2 or -3
• findstart=1: list of matches (actually just calls |complete()|)
See also: ~
|complete-functions|
|complete-items|
|CompleteDone|
set_log_level({level}) *vim.lsp.set_log_level()*
Sets the global log level for LSP logging.
Levels by name: "TRACE", "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR", "OFF"
Level numbers begin with "TRACE" at 0
Use `lsp.log_levels` for reverse lookup.
Parameters: ~
• {level} [number|string] the case insensitive level name or number
See also: ~
|vim.lsp.log_levels|
start({config}, {opts}) *vim.lsp.start()*
Create a new LSP client and start a language server or reuses an already
running client if one is found matching `name` and `root_dir`. Attaches
the current buffer to the client.
Example:
>
vim.lsp.start({
name = 'my-server-name',
cmd = {'name-of-language-server-executable'},
root_dir = vim.fs.dirname(vim.fs.find({'pyproject.toml', 'setup.py'}, { upward = true })[1]),
})
<
See |vim.lsp.start_client()| for all available options. The most important
are:
• `name` arbitrary name for the LSP client. Should be unique per language
server.
• `cmd` command (in list form) used to start the language server. Must be
absolute, or found on `$PATH`. Shell constructs like `~` are not
expanded.
• `root_dir` path to the project root. By default this is used to decide
if an existing client should be re-used. The example above uses
|vim.fs.find()| and |vim.fs.dirname()| to detect the root by traversing
the file system upwards starting from the current directory until either
a `pyproject.toml` or `setup.py` file is found.
• `workspace_folders` list of `{ uri:string, name: string }` tables
specifying the project root folders used by the language server. If
`nil` the property is derived from `root_dir` for convenience.
Language servers use this information to discover metadata like the
dependencies of your project and they tend to index the contents within
the project folder.
To ensure a language server is only started for languages it can handle,
make sure to call |vim.lsp.start()| within a |FileType| autocmd. Either
use |:au|, |nvim_create_autocmd()| or put the call in a
`ftplugin/<filetype_name>.lua` (See |ftplugin-name|)
Parameters: ~
• {config} (table) Same configuration as documented in
|vim.lsp.start_client()|
• {opts} nil|table Optional keyword arguments:
• reuse_client (fun(client: client, config: table): boolean)
Predicate used to decide if a client should be re-used.
Used on all running clients. The default implementation
re-uses a client if name and root_dir matches.
Return: ~
(number|nil) client_id
start_client({config}) *vim.lsp.start_client()*
Starts and initializes a client with the given configuration.
Parameter `cmd` is required.
The following parameters describe fields in the {config} table.
Parameters: ~
• {cmd} (table|string|fun(dispatchers: table):table)
command string or list treated like |jobstart()|.
The command must launch the language server
process. `cmd` can also be a function that
creates an RPC client. The function receives a
dispatchers table and must return a table with
the functions `request`, `notify`, `is_closing`
and `terminate` See |vim.lsp.rpc.request()| and
|vim.lsp.rpc.notify()| For TCP there is a
built-in rpc client factory:
|vim.lsp.rpc.connect()|
• {cmd_cwd} (string, default=|getcwd()|) Directory to launch
the `cmd` process. Not related to `root_dir`.
• {cmd_env} (table) Environment flags to pass to the LSP on
spawn. Can be specified using keys like a map or
as a list with `k=v` pairs or both. Non-string values are coerced to
string. Example: >
{ "PRODUCTION=true"; "TEST=123"; PORT = 8080; HOST = "0.0.0.0"; }
<
• {detached} (boolean, default true) Daemonize the server
process so that it runs in a separate process
group from Nvim. Nvim will shutdown the process
on exit, but if Nvim fails to exit cleanly this
could leave behind orphaned server processes.
• {workspace_folders} (table) List of workspace folders passed to the
language server. For backwards compatibility
rootUri and rootPath will be derived from the
first workspace folder in this list. See
`workspaceFolders` in the LSP spec.
• {capabilities} Map overriding the default capabilities defined
by |vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()|,
passed to the language server on initialization.
Hint: use make_client_capabilities() and modify
its result.
• Note: To send an empty dictionary use
`{[vim.type_idx]=vim.types.dictionary}`, else
it will be encoded as an array.
• {handlers} Map of language server method names to
|lsp-handler|
• {settings} Map with language server specific settings. These
are returned to the language server if requested
via `workspace/configuration`. Keys are
case-sensitive.
• {commands} (table) Table that maps string of clientside
commands to user-defined functions. Commands
passed to start_client take precedence over the
global command registry. Each key must be a
unique command name, and the value is a function
which is called if any LSP action (code action,
code lenses, ...) triggers the command.
• {init_options} Values to pass in the initialization request as
`initializationOptions`. See `initialize` in the
LSP spec.
• {name} (string, default=client-id) Name in log messages.
• {get_language_id} function(bufnr, filetype) -> language ID as
string. Defaults to the filetype.
• {offset_encoding} (default="utf-16") One of "utf-8", "utf-16", or
"utf-32" which is the encoding that the LSP
server expects. Client does not verify this is
correct.
• {on_error} Callback with parameters (code, ...), invoked
when the client operation throws an error. `code`
is a number describing the error. Other arguments
may be passed depending on the error kind. See
`vim.lsp.rpc.client_errors` for possible errors.
Use `vim.lsp.rpc.client_errors[code]` to get
human-friendly name.
• {before_init} Callback with parameters (initialize_params,
config) invoked before the LSP "initialize"
phase, where `params` contains the parameters
being sent to the server and `config` is the
config that was passed to
|vim.lsp.start_client()|. You can use this to
modify parameters before they are sent.
• {on_init} Callback (client, initialize_result) invoked
after LSP "initialize", where `result` is a table
of `capabilities` and anything else the server
may send. For example, clangd sends
`initialize_result.offsetEncoding` if
`capabilities.offsetEncoding` was sent to it. You
can only modify the `client.offset_encoding` here
before any notifications are sent. Most language
servers expect to be sent client specified
settings after initialization. Neovim does not
make this assumption. A
`workspace/didChangeConfiguration` notification
should be sent to the server during on_init.
• {on_exit} Callback (code, signal, client_id) invoked on
client exit.
• code: exit code of the process
• signal: number describing the signal used to
terminate (if any)
• client_id: client handle
• {on_attach} Callback (client, bufnr) invoked when client
attaches to a buffer.
• {trace} "off" | "messages" | "verbose" | nil passed
directly to the language server in the initialize
request. Invalid/empty values will default to
"off"
• {flags} A table with flags for the client. The current
(experimental) flags are:
• allow_incremental_sync (bool, default true):
Allow using incremental sync for buffer edits
• debounce_text_changes (number, default 150):
Debounce didChange notifications to the server
by the given number in milliseconds. No
debounce occurs if nil
• exit_timeout (number|boolean, default false):
Milliseconds to wait for server to exit cleanly
after sending the "shutdown" request before
sending kill -15. If set to false, nvim exits
immediately after sending the "shutdown"
request to the server.
• {root_dir} (string) Directory where the LSP server will base
its workspaceFolders, rootUri, and rootPath on
initialization.
Return: ~
Client id. |vim.lsp.get_client_by_id()| Note: client may not be fully
initialized. Use `on_init` to do any actions once the client has been
initialized.
stop_client({client_id}, {force}) *vim.lsp.stop_client()*
Stops a client(s).
You can also use the `stop()` function on a |vim.lsp.client| object. To
stop all clients:
>
vim.lsp.stop_client(vim.lsp.get_active_clients())
<
By default asks the server to shutdown, unless stop was requested already
for this client, then force-shutdown is attempted.
Parameters: ~
• {client_id} client id or |vim.lsp.client| object, or list thereof
• {force} (boolean) (optional) shutdown forcefully
tagfunc({...}) *vim.lsp.tagfunc()*
Provides an interface between the built-in client and 'tagfunc'.
When used with normal mode commands (e.g. |CTRL-]|) this will invoke the
"textDocument/definition" LSP method to find the tag under the cursor.
Otherwise, uses "workspace/symbol". If no results are returned from any
LSP servers, falls back to using built-in tags.
Parameters: ~
• {pattern} Pattern used to find a workspace symbol
• {flags} See |tag-function|
Return: ~
A list of matching tags
with({handler}, {override_config}) *vim.lsp.with()*
