Just-an-LSP

Just me and myself trying to build language server for C++ programming language

LSP overivew

The idea behind the Language Server Protocol (LSP) is to standardize the protocol for how tools and servers communicate, so a single Language Server can be re-used in multiple development tools, and tools can support languages with minimal effort.

How it works

A language server runs as a separate process and development tools communicate with the server using the language protocol over JSON-RPC.

Below is an example for how a tool and a language server communicate during a routine editing session:

Neovim as client

Nvim supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP), which means it acts as a client to LSP servers and includes a Lua framework vim.lsp.

To configure the LSP client, you can use this example:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
    pattern = "cpp",

    callback = function()

        local client = vim.lsp.start({
            name = "JustAnLSP",
            cmd = {"/path/to/JustAnLSPServer/binary"}
        })

        if not client then
            vim.notify "No can do for JustAnLSPServer!"
        else
            vim.lsp.buf_attach_client(0, client)
        end
    end

})
