Async Language Server Protocol plugin for vim8 and neovim.

Plug 'prabirshrestha/async.vim'
Plug 'prabirshrestha/vim-lsp'

Note: async.vim is required and is used to normalize jobs between vim8 and neovim.

For other languages please refer to the wiki.

if executable('pyls')
    " pip install python-language-server
    au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
        \ 'name': 'pyls',
        \ 'cmd': {server_info->['pyls']},
        \ 'whitelist': ['python'],
        \ })
endif

While most of the time it is ok to just set the name, cmd and whitelist there are times when you need to get more control of the root_uri. By default root_uri for the buffer can be found using lsp#utils#get_default_root_uri() which internaly uses getcwd(). Here is an example that sets the root_uri to the directory where it contains tsconfig.json and traverses up the directories automatically, if it isn't found it returns empty string which tells vim-lsp to start the server but don't initialize the server. If you would like to avoid starting the server you can return empty array for cmd.

if executable('typescript-language-server')
    au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
        \ 'name': 'typescript-language-server',
        \ 'cmd': {server_info->[&shell, &shellcmdflag, 'typescript-language-server --stdio']},
        \ 'root_uri':{server_info->lsp#utils#path_to_uri(lsp#utils#find_nearest_parent_file_directory(lsp#utils#get_buffer_path(), 'tsconfig.json'))},
        \ 'whitelist': ['typescript'],
        \ })
endif

vim-lsp supports incremental changes of Language Server Protocol.

Refer to docs on configuring omnifunc or asyncomplete.vim.

vim-lsp does not support snippets by default. If you want snippet integration, you will first have to install a third-party snippet plugin and a plugin that integrates it in vim-lsp. At the moment, you have two options:

1. UltiSnips together with vim-lsp-ultisnips
2. neosnippet.vim together with vim-lsp-neosnippet

For more information, refer to the readme and documentation of the respective plugins.

You can let the language server automatically handle folding for you. To enable this, you have to set 'foldmethod', 'foldexpr' and (optionally) 'foldtext':

set foldmethod=expr
  \ foldexpr=lsp#ui#vim#folding#foldexpr()
  \ foldtext=lsp#ui#vim#folding#foldtext()

If you would like to disable folding globally, you can add this to your configuration:

let g:lsp_fold_enabled = 0

Also see :h vim-lsp-folding.

Note:

• Some servers may only support partial commands.
• While it is possible to register multiple servers for the same filetype, some commands will pick only the first server that supports it. For example, it doesn't make sense for rename and format commands to be sent to multiple servers.

Document diagnostics (e.g. warnings, errors) are enabled by default, but if you preferred to turn them off and use other plugins instead (like Neomake or ALE, set g:lsp_diagnostics_enabled to 0:

let g:lsp_diagnostics_enabled = 0         " disable diagnostics support

let g:lsp_signs_enabled = 1         " enable signs
let g:lsp_diagnostics_echo_cursor = 1 " enable echo under cursor when in normal mode

Four groups of signs are defined and used: LspError, LspWarning, LspInformation, LspHint. It is possible to set custom text or icon that will be used for each sign (note that icons are only available in GUI). To do this, set some of the following globals: g:lsp_signs_error, g:lsp_signs_warning, g:lsp_signs_information, g:lsp_signs_hint. They should be set to a dict, that contains either text that will be used as sign in terminal, or icon that will be used for GUI, or both. For example:

let g:lsp_signs_error = {'text': '✗'}
let g:lsp_signs_warning = {'text': '‼', 'icon': '/path/to/some/icon'} " icons require GUI
let g:lsp_signs_hint = {'icon': '/path/to/some/other/icon'} " icons require GUI

Also two highlight groups for every sign group are defined (for example for LspError these are LspErrorText and LspErrorLine). By default, LspError text is highlighted using Error group, LspWarning is highlighted as Todo, others use Normal group. Line highlighting is not set by default. If your colorscheme of choise does not provide any of these, it is possible to clear them or link to some other group, like so:

highlight link LspErrorText GruvboxRedSign " requires gruvbox
highlight clear LspWarningLine

Highlighting diagnostics requires either NeoVim 0.3+ or Vim with patch 8.1.0579. They are enabled by default when supported, but can be turned off respectively by

let g:lsp_highlights_enabled = 0
let g:lsp_textprop_enabled = 0

Can be customized by setting or linking LspErrorHighlight, LspWarningHighlight, LspInformationHighlight and LspHintHighlight highlight groups.

In NeoVim 0.3 or newer you can use virtual text feature (enabled by default). You can disable it by adding

let g:lsp_virtual_text_enabled = 0

To your configuration.

Virtual text will use the same highlight groups as signs feature.

Highlight references to the symbol under the cursor. To enable, set in your configuration:

let g:lsp_highlight_references_enabled = 1

To change the style of the highlighting, you can set or link the lspReference highlight group, e.g.:

highlight lspReference ctermfg=red guifg=red ctermbg=green guibg=green

In order to enable file logging set g:lsp_log_file.

let g:lsp_log_verbose = 1
let g:lsp_log_file = expand('~/vim-lsp.log')

" for asyncomplete.vim log
let g:asyncomplete_log_file = expand('~/asyncomplete.log')
