lsp-inlayhints.nvim VS nvim-lspconfig

Thanks for the reply! I also wanted to make it work with clangd, but it won't. I stumbled upon this issue. Maybe you have enough knowledge to figure this out, I don't know how to set up this compilation database. I installed clangd using Mason, and configured it via lspconfig basically the same way as the guy in the issue I linked did. Also, I'm using the newest nightly.

I don't understand why inlay hints must be implemented in a rust-specific plugin. https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim exists, has support for inline inlay hints (on a separate branch for now) and works with rust (and should work any language server since inlay hints are part of the spec). Am I missing something?

To use inlay hints in typescript an rust you would need this plugin: https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim It provides example in the readme on how to setup inlay hints for typescript and rust. For now the master brach has "old" inlay hints implementation but there is a branch that implement new one. And of course you will need nightly version for that for now.

But it doesn't seem to work. I also tried lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim with no luck. Any advice of how to properly enable this feature when ocamllsp server is attached? Thank you in advance.

I have inlay hints working in nvim with lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim, no special configuration other than the LspAttach block from their README. The caveat is that your LSP server has to support inlay hints.

The second one might be https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim

you can use nvim-lspcofig for LSP support, mason.nvim for installing LSP servers, linters, formatters and debug adapters. nvim-cmp for completions, luasnip for snippets, null-ls for configuring your formatter and linters , lsp-inlayhints for inlay hints.

Inlay hints are available through rust-tools.nvim, or lsp-inlayhints.nvim.

iirc, inlay hints aren't supported by nvim's built-in LSP, but you can get them with the inlay-hints plugin: https://github.com/lvimuser/lsp-inlayhints.nvim (if the LSP for omnisharp also supports them)

I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.

These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.

Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.

https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig

This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:

For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.

pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server

Best of luck! Happy hacking.

Adding language support it neovim isn't very difficult once you're setup. I use nvim-lspconfig[1] and just about any language you could need is documented[2]. But like others have mentioned there are batteries included distributions of neovim if that's your cup of tea.

If we can't find the basic usage in the documentation we can go to nvim-lspconfig's github repository. In there we look for a folder called server_configurations, this contains configuration files for a bunch of language servers.

https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

This specific issue talks about fixing clangd for that error: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/issues/2184. The issue is ongoing for ccls AFAIK but for clangd, this has been discussed and fixed in the past already.

I am trying to set up the pbkit language server for protobuf files. Since it is not part of the nvim-lspconfig repo's server configurations, I have to figure the way out myself. It doesn't seem to be too difficult, as I can start from the bufls configuration there. The following is what I have at the moment:

I have configured neovim with lspconfig and mason. Added the suggested configuration of the lsp config(https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) to ~/.config/nvim/after/plugin/lsp.lua Then I installed via mason the following language servers:

Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

Basically neovim can act as a client to a variety of different language servers (https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...) which give neovim IDE capabilities. This can be done in original Vim also but requires external plugins which can be a pain to compile and install. Neovim has it built in.

I'm struggling to get [sqlls](https://github.com/joe-re/sql-language-server) with [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) to use Postgres syntax.
