ZLS is a non-official implementation of the Language Server Protocol for Zig in Zig. It provides developers with IDE features in their editor.
Installation
The complete installation guide is available on the Zigtools website. It covers editor setup, prebuilt binaries and additional documentation.
Build From Source
[!WARNING] ZLS currently lacks critical build system integration with Zig nightly/master. See #3208 for more information. It is recommended to use Zig and ZLS 0.16.0 in the meantime.
The default branch of ZLS targets Zig master.
git clone https://github.com/zigtools/zls
cd zls
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe
When upgrading Zig, make sure to update ZLS too keep them in sync.
Features
ZLS supports most language features, including simple type function support, payload capture type resolution, custom packages, and others. Support for comptime and semantic analysis is Work-in-Progress.
The majority of LSP features are supported:
- Completions
- Hover
- Diagnostics and opt-in build-on-save
- Go to definition/declaration
- Workspace symbols and document symbols
- Find references and rename symbol
- Formatting based on
zig fmt - Semantic tokens highlighting
- Inlay hints
- Code actions
Quick Thanks :)
We'd like to take a second to thank all our awesome contributors and donators/backers/sponsors; if you have time or money to spare, consider partaking in either of these options - they help keep ZLS awesome for everyone!
