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.

Installation

Installing zls is pretty simple;

git clone https://github.com/SuperAuguste/zls
cd zls
zig build

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).

Then, you can use the zls executable in an editor of your choice that has a Zig language server client!

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).
zig_lib_path	?[]const u8	null	zig library path, used to analyze std library imports.

Usage

zls is in its early stages, with a full analysis/completion engine coming soon, but it is still usable.

VSCode

Install the zig-lsc extension from here.
