Zig Language Server, or `zls`, is a language server for Zig. The Zig wiki states that "The Zig community is decentralized" and "There is no concept of 'official' or 'unofficial'", so instead of calling `zls` unofficial, and I'm going to call it a cool option, one of [many](https://github.com/search?q=zig+language+server).

## Installation
2020-05-07 19:02:59 +01:00
Installing `zls` is pretty simple;
2020-05-07 18:54:58 +01:00
2020-04-24 23:19:03 +01:00
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SuperAuguste/zls
cd zls
zig build
```
2020-05-07 18:54:58 +01:00
### Build Options
| Option | Type | What it Does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `-Ddata_version` | `string` | The data file version. Any files in the `src/data` file that correspond with the Zig version you want the language server to build for (0.6.0, master).
2020-04-24 23:19:03 +01:00
Then, you can use the `zls` executable in an editor of your choice that has a Zig language server client!
2020-05-15 05:00:44 +01:00
### Configuration Options
You can configure zls by providing a zls.json file in the same directory as the executable.
The following options are currently available.
| Option | Type | Default value | What it Does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `enable_snippets` | `bool` | `true` | Enables snippet completion, set to false for compatibility with language clients that do not support snippets (such as ale). |
2020-05-14 13:09:27 +01:00
| `zig_lib_path` | `?[]const u8` | `null` | zig library path, used to analyze std library imports. |
2020-04-24 23:19:03 +01:00
## Usage
2020-05-07 18:54:58 +01:00
`zls` is in its early stages, with a full analysis/completion engine coming soon, but it is still usable.
