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 instructions. You can find language servers here:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/
2. Use |vim.lsp.start()| to start the LSP server (or attach to an existing
one) when a file is opened. Example: >lua
-- Create an event handler for the FileType autocommand
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
-- This handler will fire when the buffer's 'filetype' is "python"
pattern = 'python',
callback = function(args)
vim.lsp.start({
name = 'my-server-name',
cmd = {'name-of-language-server-executable', '--option', 'arg1', 'arg2'},
-- Set the "root directory" to the parent directory of the file in the
-- current buffer (`args.buf`) that contains either a "setup.py" or a
-- "pyproject.toml" file. Files that share a root directory will reuse
-- the connection to the same LSP server.
root_dir = vim.fs.root(args.buf, {'setup.py', 'pyproject.toml'}),
})
end,
})
<
3. Check that the buffer is attached to the server: >vim
:checkhealth lsp
4. (Optional) Configure keymaps and autocommands to use LSP features. |lsp-config|
*lsp-defaults*
When the Nvim LSP client starts it enables diagnostics |vim.diagnostic| (see
|vim.diagnostic.config()| to customize). It also sets various default options,
listed below, if (1) the language server supports the functionality and (2)
the options are empty or were set by the builtin runtime (ftplugin) files. The
options are not restored when the LSP client is stopped or detached.
- 'omnifunc' is set to |vim.lsp.omnifunc()|, use |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| to trigger
completion.
- '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()|, so you can format lines via
|gq| if the language server supports it.
- To opt out of this use |gw| instead of gq, or clear 'formatexpr' on |LspAttach|.
- |K| is mapped to |vim.lsp.buf.hover()| unless |'keywordprg'| is customized or
a custom keymap for `K` exists.
*grr* *gra* *grn* *i_CTRL-S*
Some keymaps are created unconditionally when Nvim starts:
- "grn" is mapped in Normal mode to |vim.lsp.buf.rename()|
- "gra" is mapped in Normal and Visual mode to |vim.lsp.buf.code_action()|
- "grr" is mapped in Normal mode to |vim.lsp.buf.references()|
- CTRL-S is mapped in Insert mode to |vim.lsp.buf.signature_help()|
If not wanted, these keymaps can be removed at any time using
|vim.keymap.del()| or |:unmap| (see also |gr-default|).
*lsp-defaults-disable*
To override or delete any of the above defaults, set or unset the options on
|LspAttach|: >lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspAttach', {
callback = function(args)
-- Unset 'formatexpr'
vim.bo[args.buf].formatexpr = nil
-- Unset 'omnifunc'
vim.bo[args.buf].omnifunc = nil
-- Unmap K
vim.keymap.del('n', 'K', { buffer = args.buf })
end,
})
<
*lsp-config*
To use other LSP features, set keymaps and other buffer options on
|LspAttach|. Not all language servers provide the same capabilities. Use
capability checks to ensure you only use features supported by the language
server. Example: >lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspAttach', {
callback = function(args)
local client = vim.lsp.get_client_by_id(args.data.client_id)
if client.supports_method('textDocument/implementation') then
-- Create a keymap for vim.lsp.buf.implementation
end
if client.supports_method('textDocument/completion') then
-- Enable auto-completion
vim.lsp.completion.enable(true, client.id, args.buf, {autotrigger = true})
end
if client.supports_method('textDocument/formatting') then
-- Format the current buffer on save
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('BufWritePre', {
buffer = args.buf,
callback = function()
vim.lsp.buf.format({bufnr = args.buf, id = client.id})
end,
})
end
end,
})
<
To learn what capabilities are available you can run the following command in
a buffer with a started LSP client: >vim
:lua =vim.lsp.get_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. >vim
:lua vim.lsp.stop_client(vim.lsp.get_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: >vim
" 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|).
*lsp-method*
Requests and notifications defined by the LSP specification are referred to as
"LSP methods". The Nvim LSP client provides default handlers in the global
|vim.lsp.handlers| table, you can list them with this command: >vim
:lua vim.print(vim.tbl_keys(vim.lsp.handlers))
<
They are also listed below. Note that handlers depend on server support: they
won't run if your server doesn't support them.

*lsp-handler*
LSP handlers are functions that handle |lsp-response|s to requests made by Nvim
to the server. (Notifications, as opposed to requests, are fire-and-forget:
there is no response, so they can't be handled. |lsp-notification|)
Each response handler has this signature: >
function(err, result, ctx, config)
<
Parameters: ~
• {err} (`table|nil`) Error info dict, or `nil` if the request
completed.
• {result} (`Result|Params|nil`) `result` key of the |lsp-response| or
`nil` if the request failed.
• {ctx} (`table`) Table of calling state associated with the
handler, with these keys:
• {method} (`string`) |lsp-method| name.
• {client_id} (`number`) |vim.lsp.Client| identifier.
• {bufnr} (`Buffer`) Buffer handle.
• {params} (`table|nil`) Request parameters table.
• {version} (`number`) Document version at time of
request. Handlers can compare this to the
current document version to check if the
response is "stale". See also |b:changedtick|.
• {config} (`table`) Handler-defined configuration table, which allows
users to customize handler behavior.
For an example, see:
|vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics()|
To configure a particular |lsp-handler|, see:
|lsp-handler-configuration|
Returns: ~
Two values `result, err` where `err` is shaped like an RPC error: >
{ code, message, data? }
< You can use |vim.lsp.rpc.rpc_response_error()| to create this object.
*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: >lua
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: >lua
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()| >lua
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()`:
>lua
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: >lua
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: >lua
vim.lsp.handlers["textDocument/definition"] = my_custom_default_definition
<
- The {handlers} parameter of |vim.lsp.start()|. This sets the default
|lsp-handler| for the server being started. Example: >lua
vim.lsp.start {
..., -- Other configuration omitted.
handlers = {
["textDocument/definition"] = my_custom_server_definition
},
}
- The {handler} parameter of |vim.lsp.buf_request_all()|. This sets
the |lsp-handler| ONLY for the given request(s). Example: >lua
vim.lsp.buf_request_all(
0,
"textDocument/definition",
my_request_params,
my_handler
)
<
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_all()|, if any.
2. Handler defined in |vim.lsp.start()|, 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: >lua
vim.lsp.protocol.TextDocumentSyncKind.Full == 1
vim.lsp.protocol.TextDocumentSyncKind[1] == "Full"
<

================================================================================
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
*hl-LspInlayHint*
LspInlayHint used for highlighting inlay hints
*lsp-highlight-codelens*
Highlight groups related to |lsp-codelens| functionality.
*hl-LspCodeLens*
LspCodeLens
Used to color the virtual text of the codelens. See
|nvim_buf_set_extmark()|.
LspCodeLensSeparator *hl-LspCodeLensSeparator*
Used to color the separator between two or more code lenses.
*lsp-highlight-signature*
Highlight groups related to |vim.lsp.handlers.signature_help()|.
*hl-LspSignatureActiveParameter*
LspSignatureActiveParameter
Used to highlight the active parameter in the signature help. See
|vim.lsp.handlers.signature_help()|.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LSP SEMANTIC HIGHLIGHTS *lsp-semantic-highlight*
When available, the LSP client highlights code using |lsp-semantic_tokens|,
which are another way that LSP servers can provide information about source
code. Note that this is in addition to treesitter syntax highlighting;
semantic highlighting does not replace syntax highlighting.
The server will typically provide one token per identifier in the source code.
The token will have a `type` such as "function" or "variable", and 0 or more
`modifier`s such as "readonly" or "deprecated." The standard types and
modifiers are described here:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification/#textDocument_semanticTokens
LSP servers may also use off-spec types and modifiers.
The LSP client adds one or more highlights for each token. The highlight
groups are derived from the token's type and modifiers:
• `@lsp.type.<type>.<ft>` for the type
• `@lsp.mod.<mod>.<ft>` for each modifier
• `@lsp.typemod.<type>.<mod>.<ft>` for each modifier
Use |:Inspect| to view the highlights for a specific token. Use |:hi| or
|nvim_set_hl()| to change the appearance of semantic highlights: >vim
hi @lsp.type.function guifg=Yellow " function names are yellow
hi @lsp.type.variable.lua guifg=Green " variables in lua are green
hi @lsp.mod.deprecated gui=strikethrough " deprecated is crossed out
hi @lsp.typemod.function.async guifg=Blue " async functions are blue
<
The value |vim.highlight.priorities|`.semantic_tokens` is the priority of the
`@lsp.type.*` highlights. The `@lsp.mod.*` and `@lsp.typemod.*` highlights
have priorities one and two higher, respectively.
You can disable semantic highlights by clearing the highlight groups: >lua
-- Hide semantic highlights for functions
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, '@lsp.type.function', {})
-- Hide all semantic highlights
for _, group in ipairs(vim.fn.getcompletion("@lsp", "highlight")) do
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, group, {})
end
<
You probably want these inside a |ColorScheme| autocommand.
Use |LspTokenUpdate| and |vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.highlight_token()| for more
complex highlighting.
The following is a list of standard captures used in queries for Nvim,
highlighted according to the current colorscheme (use |:Inspect| on one to see
the exact definition):
@lsp.type.class Identifiers that declare or reference a class type
@lsp.type.comment Tokens that represent a comment
@lsp.type.decorator Identifiers that declare or reference decorators and annotations
@lsp.type.enum Identifiers that declare or reference an enumeration type

@lsp.type.interface Identifiers that declare or reference an interface type
@lsp.type.keyword Tokens that represent a language keyword
@lsp.type.macro Identifiers that declare a macro
@lsp.type.method Identifiers that declare a member function or method
@lsp.type.modifier Tokens that represent a modifier
@lsp.type.namespace Identifiers that declare or reference a namespace, module, or package
@lsp.type.number Tokens that represent a number literal
@lsp.type.operator Tokens that represent an operator

@lsp.type.regexp Tokens that represent a regular expression literal
@lsp.type.string Tokens that represent a string literal
@lsp.type.struct Identifiers that declare or reference a struct type
@lsp.type.type Identifiers that declare or reference a type that is not covered above
@lsp.type.typeParameter Identifiers that declare or reference a type parameter
@lsp.type.variable Identifiers that declare or reference a local or global variable
@lsp.mod.abstract Types and member functions that are abstract
@lsp.mod.async Functions that are marked async

==============================================================================
EVENTS *lsp-events*
LspAttach *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. See |lsp-config| for an example.
LspDetach *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: >lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspDetach', {
callback = function(args)
-- Get the detaching client
local client = vim.lsp.get_client_by_id(args.data.client_id)
-- Remove the autocommand to format the buffer on save, if it exists
if client.supports_method('textDocument/formatting') then
vim.api.nvim_clear_autocmds({
event = 'BufWritePre',
buffer = args.buf,
})
end
end,
})
<
LspNotify *LspNotify*
This event is triggered after each successful notification sent to an
LSP server.
When used from Lua, the client_id, LSP method, and parameters are sent
in the "data" table. Example: >lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspNotify', {
callback = function(args)
local bufnr = args.buf
local client_id = args.data.client_id
local method = args.data.method
local params = args.data.params
-- do something with the notification
if method == 'textDocument/...' then
update_buffer(bufnr)
end
end,
})
<
LspProgress *LspProgress*
Upon receipt of a progress notification from the server. Notifications can
be polled from a `progress` ring buffer of a |vim.lsp.Client| or use
|vim.lsp.status()| to get an aggregate message.
If the server sends a "work done progress", the `pattern` is set to `kind`
(one of `begin`, `report` or `end`).
When used from Lua, the event contains a `data` table with `client_id` and
`params` properties. `params` will contain the request params sent by the
server (see `lsp.ProgressParams`).
Example: >vim
autocmd LspProgress * redrawstatus
<
LspRequest *LspRequest*
For each request sent to an LSP server, this event is triggered for
every change to the request's status. The status can be one of
`pending`, `complete`, or `cancel` and is sent as the {type} on the
"data" table passed to the callback function.
It triggers when the initial request is sent ({type} == `pending`) and
when the LSP server responds ({type} == `complete`). If a cancellation
is requested using `client.cancel_request(request_id)`, then this event
will trigger with {type} == `cancel`.
When used from Lua, the client ID, request ID, and request are sent in
the "data" table. See {requests} in |vim.lsp.Client| for details on the
{request} value. If the request type is `complete`, the request will be
deleted from the client's pending requests table immediately after
calling the event's callbacks. Example: >lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspRequest', {
callback = function(args)
local bufnr = args.buf
local client_id = args.data.client_id
local request_id = args.data.request_id
local request = args.data.request
if request.type == 'pending' then
-- do something with pending requests
track_pending(client_id, bufnr, request_id, request)
elseif request.type == 'cancel' then
-- do something with pending cancel requests
track_canceling(client_id, bufnr, request_id, request)
elseif request.type == 'complete' then
-- do something with finished requests. this pending
-- request entry is about to be removed since it is complete
track_finish(client_id, bufnr, request_id, request)
end
end,
})
<
LspTokenUpdate *LspTokenUpdate*
When a visible semantic token is sent or updated by the LSP server, or
when an existing token becomes visible for the first time. The
|autocmd-pattern| is the name of the buffer. When used from Lua, the
token and client ID are passed to the callback in the "data" table. The
token fields are documented in |vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.get_at_pos()|.
Example:
>lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspTokenUpdate', {
callback = function(args)
local token = args.data.token
if token.type == 'variable' and not token.modifiers.readonly then
vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.highlight_token(
token, args.buf, args.data.client_id, 'MyMutableVariableHighlight'
)
end
end,
})
<
Note: doing anything other than calling
|vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.highlight_token()| is considered experimental.
==============================================================================
Lua module: vim.lsp *lsp-core*
buf_attach_client({bufnr}, {client_id}) *vim.lsp.buf_attach_client()*

Return: ~
(`boolean`) success `true` if client was attached successfully;
`false` otherwise
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} (`integer`) Buffer handle, or 0 for current
• {client_id} (`integer`) Client id
buf_is_attached({bufnr}, {client_id}) *vim.lsp.buf_is_attached()*

*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_all()| but the
result is different. Waits a maximum of {timeout_ms}.
Parameters: ~
• {bufnr} (`integer`) Buffer handle, or 0 for current.
• {method} (`string`) LSP method name

Checks whether a client is stopped.
Parameters: ~
• {client_id} (`integer`)
Return: ~
(`boolean`) stopped true if client is stopped, false otherwise.
commands *vim.lsp.commands*
Registry for client side commands. This is an extension point for plugins
to handle custom commands which are not part of the core language server
protocol specification.
The registry is a table where the key is a unique command name, and the
value is a function which is called if any LSP action (code action, code
lenses, ...) triggers the command.
If a LSP response contains a command for which no matching entry is
available in this registry, the command will be executed via the LSP
server using `workspace/executeCommand`.
The first argument to the function will be the `Command`: Command title:
String command: String arguments?: any[]
The second argument is the `ctx` of |lsp-handler|
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()` or (more typically) in
`on_attach` via
`vim.bo[bufnr].formatexpr = 'v:lua.vim.lsp.formatexpr(#{timeout_ms:250})'`.

not yet be fully initialized.
Parameters: ~
• {client_id} (`integer`) client id
Return: ~
(`vim.lsp.Client?`) client rpc object
get_clients({filter}) *vim.lsp.get_clients()*

Implements 'omnifunc' compatible LSP completion.
Parameters: ~
• {findstart} (`integer`) 0 or 1, decides behavior
• {base} (`integer`) findstart=0, text to match against
Return: ~
(`integer|table`) 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} (`integer|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: >lua
vim.lsp.start({
name = 'my-server-name',
cmd = {'name-of-language-server-executable'},
root_dir = vim.fs.root(0, {'pyproject.toml', 'setup.py'}),
})
<
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 string[] or function, described at
|vim.lsp.start_client()|.
• `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.root()| 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} (`vim.lsp.ClientConfig`) Configuration for the server. See
|vim.lsp.ClientConfig|.
• {opts} (`table?`) Optional keyword arguments
• {reuse_client}?
(`fun(client: vim.lsp.Client, config: vim.lsp.ClientConfig): 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.
• {bufnr}? (`integer`) Buffer handle to attach to if
starting or re-using a client (0 for current).
• {silent}? (`boolean`) Suppress error reporting if the LSP
server fails to start (default false).
Return: ~
(`integer?`) client_id
start_client({config}) *vim.lsp.start_client()*
Starts and initializes a client with the given configuration.
Parameters: ~
• {config} (`vim.lsp.ClientConfig`) Configuration for the server. See
|vim.lsp.ClientConfig|.
Return (multiple): ~
(`integer?`) 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.
(`string?`) Error message, if any
status() *vim.lsp.status()*
Consumes the latest progress messages from all clients and formats them as
a string. Empty if there are no clients or if no new messages
Return: ~
(`string`)
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: >lua
vim.lsp.stop_client(vim.lsp.get_clients())
<
By default asks the server to shutdown, unless stop was requested already
for this client, then force-shutdown is attempted.
Parameters: ~
• {client_id} (`integer|integer[]|vim.lsp.Client[]`) id, list of id's,
or list of |vim.lsp.Client| objects
• {force} (`boolean?`) shutdown forcefully
tagfunc({pattern}, {flags}) *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} (`string`) Pattern used to find a workspace symbol
• {flags} (`string`) See |tag-function|
Return: ~
(`table[]`) tags A list of matching tags
with({handler}, {override_config}) *vim.lsp.with()*

Parameters: ~
• {handler} (`lsp.Handler`) See |lsp-handler|
• {override_config} (`table`) Table containing the keys to override
behavior of the {handler}

Lua module: vim.lsp.client *lsp-client*
*vim.lsp.Client*
Fields: ~
• {id} (`integer`) 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} (`vim.lsp.rpc.PublicClient`) 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<string,lsp.Handler>`) The handlers
used by the client as described in
|lsp-handler|.
• {requests} (`table<integer,{ type: string, bufnr: integer, method: string}>`)
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. It will be "complete"
ephemerally while executing |LspRequest|
autocmds when replies are received from the
server.
• {config} (`vim.lsp.ClientConfig`) copy of the table
that was passed by the user to
|vim.lsp.start_client()|. See
|vim.lsp.ClientConfig|.
• {server_capabilities} (`lsp.ServerCapabilities?`) Response from the
server sent on `initialize` describing the
server's capabilities.
• {progress} (`vim.lsp.Client.Progress`) A ring buffer
(|vim.ringbuf()|) containing progress messages
sent by the server. See
|vim.lsp.Client.Progress|.
• {initialized} (`true?`)
• {workspace_folders} (`lsp.WorkspaceFolder[]?`) The workspace
folders configured in the client when the
server starts. This property is only available
if the client supports workspace folders. It
can be `null` if the client supports workspace
folders but none are configured.
• {root_dir} (`string?`)
• {attached_buffers} (`table<integer,true>`)
• {commands} (`table<string,fun(command: lsp.Command, ctx: table)>`)
Table of command name to function which is
called if any LSP action (code action, code
lenses, ...) triggers the command. Client
commands take precedence over the global
command registry.
• {settings} (`table`) Map with language server specific
settings. These are returned to the language
server if requested via
`workspace/configuration`. Keys are
case-sensitive.
• {flags} (`table`) A table with flags for the client.
The current (experimental) flags are:
• {allow_incremental_sync}? (`boolean`,
default: `true`) Allow using incremental
sync for buffer edits
• {debounce_text_changes} (`integer`, default:
`150`) Debounce `didChange` notifications to
the server by the given number in
milliseconds. No debounce occurs if `nil`.
• {exit_timeout} (`integer|false`, 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.
• {get_language_id} (`fun(bufnr: integer, filetype: string): string`)
• {capabilities} (`lsp.ClientCapabilities`) The capabilities
provided by the client (editor or tool)
• {dynamic_capabilities} (`lsp.DynamicCapabilities`)
• {request} (`fun(method: string, params: table?, handler: lsp.Handler?, bufnr: integer?): boolean, integer?`)
Sends a request to the server. This is a thin
wrapper around {client.rpc.request} with some
additional checking. If {handler} is not
specified and if there's no respective global
handler, 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} (`fun(method: string, params: table?, timeout_ms: integer?, bufnr: integer): {err: lsp.ResponseError?, result:any}?, string?`)
err # a dict
• {notify} (`fun(method: string, params: table?): boolean`)
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} (`fun(id: integer): boolean`) Cancels a
request with a given request id. Returns: same
as `notify()`.
• {stop} (`fun(force?: boolean)`) 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.
• {on_attach} (`fun(bufnr: integer)`) Runs the on_attach
function from the client's config if it was
defined. Useful for buffer-local setup.
• {supports_method} (`fun(method: string, opts?: {bufnr: integer?}): boolean`)
Checks if a client supports a given method.
Always returns true for unknown off-spec
methods. {opts} is a optional
`{bufnr?: integer}` table. Some language
server capabilities can be file specific.
• {is_stopped} (`fun(): boolean`) Checks whether a client is
stopped. Returns: true if the client is fully
stopped.

command string[] that launches the language
server (treated as in |jobstart()|, must be
absolute or on `$PATH`, shell constructs like
"~" are not expanded), or function that creates
an RPC client. Function receives a `dispatchers`
table and returns a table with member functions
`request`, `notify`, `is_closing` and
`terminate`. See |vim.lsp.rpc.request()|,
|vim.lsp.rpc.notify()|. For TCP there is a
builtin RPC client factory:
|vim.lsp.rpc.connect()|
• {cmd_cwd}? (`string`, default: cwd) Directory to launch the
`cmd` process. Not related to `root_dir`.
• {cmd_env}? (`table`) Environment flags to pass to the LSP
on spawn. Must be specified using a table.
Non-string values are coerced to string.
Example: >lua
{ 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}? (`lsp.WorkspaceFolder[]`) 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}? (`lsp.ClientCapabilities`) 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.empty_dict()|, else it will be encoded as
an array.
• {handlers}? (`table<string,function>`) Map of language
server method names to |lsp-handler|
• {settings}? (`table`) Map with language server specific
settings. See the {settings} in
|vim.lsp.Client|.
• {commands}? (`table<string,fun(command: lsp.Command, ctx: 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}? (`table`) 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}? (`fun(bufnr: integer, filetype: string): string`)
Language ID as string. Defaults to the filetype.
• {offset_encoding}? (`'utf-8'|'utf-16'|'utf-32'`) The encoding that
the LSP server expects. Client does not verify
this is correct.
• {on_error}? (`fun(code: integer, err: string)`) Callback
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}? (`fun(params: lsp.InitializeParams, config: vim.lsp.ClientConfig)`)
Callback 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}? (`elem_or_list<fun(client: vim.lsp.Client, initialize_result: lsp.InitializeResult)>`)
Callback 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.
• {on_exit}? (`elem_or_list<fun(code: integer, signal: integer, client_id: integer)>`)
Callback 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}? (`elem_or_list<fun(client: vim.lsp.Client, bufnr: integer)>`)
Callback invoked when client attaches to a
buffer.
• {trace}? (`'off'|'messages'|'verbose'`, default: "off")
Passed directly to the language server in the
initialize request. Invalid/empty values will
• {flags}? (`table`) A table with flags for the client. The
current (experimental) flags are:
• {allow_incremental_sync}? (`boolean`, default:
`true`) Allow using incremental sync for
buffer edits
• {debounce_text_changes} (`integer`, default:
`150`) Debounce `didChange` notifications to
the server by the given number in
milliseconds. No debounce occurs if `nil`.
• {exit_timeout} (`integer|false`, 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.

see |vim.lsp.rpc.request()|
• {notify} (`fun(method: string, params: any):boolean`) see
|vim.lsp.rpc.notify()|
• {is_closing} (`fun(): boolean`)
• {terminate} (`fun()`)
connect({host_or_path}, {port}) *vim.lsp.rpc.connect()*
Create a LSP RPC client factory that connects to either:
• a named pipe (windows)
• a domain socket (unix)
• a host and port via TCP
Return a function that can be passed to the `cmd` field for
|vim.lsp.start_client()| or |vim.lsp.start()|.
Parameters: ~
• {host_or_path} (`string`) host to connect to or path to a pipe/domain
socket
• {port} (`integer?`) TCP port to connect to. If absent the
first argument must be a pipe
Return: ~
(`fun(dispatchers: vim.lsp.rpc.Dispatchers): vim.lsp.rpc.PublicClient`)
format_rpc_error({err}) *vim.lsp.rpc.format_rpc_error()*
Constructs an error message from an LSP error object.
Parameters: ~
• {err} (`table`) The error object
Return: ~
(`string`) error_message The formatted error message
notify({method}, {params}) *vim.lsp.rpc.notify()*
Sends a notification to the LSP server.
Parameters: ~
• {method} (`string`) The invoked LSP method
• {params} (`table?`) Parameters for the invoked LSP method
Return: ~
(`boolean`) `true` if notification could be sent, `false` if not
*vim.lsp.rpc.request()*
request({method}, {params}, {callback}, {notify_reply_callback})
Sends a request to the LSP server and runs {callback} upon response.
Parameters: ~
• {method} (`string`) The invoked LSP method

invoke as soon as a request is no longer
pending
Return (multiple): ~
(`boolean`) success `true` if request could be sent, `false` if not

start({cmd}, {dispatchers}, {extra_spawn_params}) *vim.lsp.rpc.start()*
Starts an LSP server process and create an LSP RPC client object to
interact with it. Communication with the spawned process happens via
stdio. For communication via TCP, spawn a process manually and use
|vim.lsp.rpc.connect()|
Parameters: ~

• {extra_spawn_params} (`table?`) Additional context for the LSP server
process.
• {cwd}? (`string`) Working directory for the
LSP server process
• {detached}? (`boolean`) Detach the LSP server
process from the current process
• {env}? (`table<string,string>`) Additional
environment variables for LSP server process.
See |vim.system()|
Return: ~
(`vim.lsp.rpc.PublicClient`) Client RPC object, with these methods:
• `notify()` |vim.lsp.rpc.notify()|
