Requirements

• stylua - for formatting
• deno - for documentation generation

Add a tool (linter/formatter)

1. Read thru the efm-langserver readme and the schema to understand the structure. Additionally, you can go thru the linters/*.lua/formatters/*.lua files to see examples and copy and paste the code and adjust them.

2. Add the metadata information above the file so that we can generate documentation for it. To end the metadata info, you must add a blank line after. Again follow the examples in any linters/*.lua/formatters/*.lua files.

-- Metadata
-- languages: langA,langB,langC
-- url: http:https://example.com

Add a tool to default_config option

Users that use the default_config (:help efmls-configs-defaults) follow the tools registered in lua/efmls-configs/defaults.json. If you want to add a tool for a language that is not defined, then this json file is the place to add them.

The linter/formatter name you add should match the filename in the lua/efmls-configs/linters/lua/efmls-configs/formatters directory. For example, adding eslint to an html filetype. The following values in the linters property should match lua/efmls-configs/linters/eslint.lua.

{
  "defaults": [
    {
      "languages": ["html"],
      "linters": ["eslint"]
    }
  ]
}
