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 the nvim-lspconfig plugin. It provides common configuration for
various servers so you can get started quickly.
https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig
2. Install a language server. A list of language servers can be found here:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/
See individual server documentation for installation instructions.
3. Add `lua require('lspconfig').xx.setup{…}` to your init.vim, where "xx" is
the name of the relevant config. See the nvim-lspconfig README for details.
NOTE: Make sure to restart nvim after installing and configuring.
4. Check that an LSP client has attached to the current buffer: >
:lua print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()))
<
*lsp-config*
Inline diagnostics are enabled automatically, e.g. syntax errors will be
annotated in the buffer. But you probably also want to use other features
like go-to-definition, hover, etc.
While Nvim does not provide an "auto-completion" framework by default, it is
still possible to get completions from the LSP server. To incorporate these
completions, it is recommended to use |vim.lsp.omnifunc|, which is an 'omnifunc'
handler. When 'omnifunc' is set to `v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc`, |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|
will provide completions from the language server.
Example config (in init.vim): >
lua << EOF
local custom_lsp_attach = function(client)
-- See `:help nvim_buf_set_keymap()` for more information
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(0, 'n', 'K', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()<CR>', {noremap = true})
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(0, 'n', '<c-]>', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>', {noremap = true})
-- ... and other keymappings for LSP
-- Use LSP as the handler for omnifunc.
-- See `:help omnifunc` and `:help ins-completion` for more information.
vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(0, 'omnifunc', 'v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc')
-- For plugins with an `on_attach` callback, call them here. For example:
-- require('completion').on_attach()
end
-- An example of configuring for `sumneko_lua`,
-- a language server for Lua.
-- set the path to the sumneko installation
local system_name = "Linux" -- (Linux, macOS, or Windows)
local sumneko_root_path = '/path/to/lua-language-server'
local sumneko_binary = sumneko_root_path.."/bin/"..system_name.."/lua-language-server"
require('lspconfig').sumneko_lua.setup({
cmd = {sumneko_binary, "-E", sumneko_root_path .. "/main.lua"};
-- An example of settings for an LSP server.
-- For more options, see nvim-lspconfig
settings = {
Lua = {
runtime = {
-- Tell the language server which version of Lua you're using (most likely LuaJIT in the case of Neovim)
version = 'LuaJIT',
-- Setup your lua path
path = vim.split(package.path, ';'),
},
diagnostics = {
-- Get the language server to recognize the `vim` global
globals = {'vim'},
},
workspace = {
-- Make the server aware of Neovim runtime files
library = {
[vim.fn.expand('$VIMRUNTIME/lua')] = true,
[vim.fn.expand('$VIMRUNTIME/lua/vim/lsp')] = true,
},
},
}
},
on_attach = custom_lsp_attach
})

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: Use the `_sync` variant of the function provided by |lsp-buf|, if it
exists.
E.g. code formatting: >
" Auto-format *.rs (rust) files prior to saving them
autocmd BufWritePre *.rs lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync(nil, 1000)
<
*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 succesfully
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.
{config} (table)
Configuration for the handler.
Each handler can define it's 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_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 it's 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
|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 ommitted.
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.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:

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|.
• {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.
• {resolved_capabilities} (table): Normalized table of
capabilities that we have detected based on the initialize
response from the server in `server_capabilities` .

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"; }
<
{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.
{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.
{workspace_folders} (table) List of workspace folders
passed to the language server.
Defaults to root_dir if not set. See
`workspaceFolders` in the LSP spec
{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.client_errors| for
possible errors. Use
`vim.lsp.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 nil): Debounce didChange
notifications to the server by the
given number in milliseconds. No
debounce occurs if nil
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()*
