neovim VS typescript-language-server

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.

I've recently switched to Neovim, and with it begun using the terminal mouse support. But, this has the side-effect that I can't just click-and-drag to select text in the terminal anymore -- Neovim controls that as well.

Besides the features TypeScript itself proposed, the most important thing it brought to the community was the ability to create cool features around this compiler that enhance the developer experience and productivity. Tools like tsserver, pretty ts errors, and many others are actively improving the ecosystem for both JavaScript and TypeScript writers.

Sometimes a language server can support multiple filetypes. An example of this is tsserver, the language server for javascript and typescript. In this case a filetype plugin can still work but there is an easier way to go about it.

in this way the ts server can detect and parse the component from the microfronent, thanks to monorepos!

That was interesting, thanks for pointing it out

I was tremendously sad to see that the Typescript Language Server wasn't owned by Microsoft <https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/impleme...>, since if there was any sanity in the world a spec bump would travel with a reference implementation showing how they envision such a thing being used

But, I found that the Typescript Language Server that they did list does indeed have a semantic-tokens module in it, although it's much shorter than I would have expected from reading that section in the spec: https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-lan...

I would like to use svelte language server when working on +page.server.ts files and not the typescript language server.

[[language]] name = "python" roots = ["pyproject.toml"] formatter = { command = "black", args = ["--quiet", "-"] } language-server = { command = "pyright-langserver", args = ["--stdio"] } config = {} auto-format = true [[language]] name = "rust" auto-format = true # [[language]] # name = "typescript" # auto-format = true # formatter = { command = "prettier", args = ["--parser", "typescript"]} # # pass format options according to https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server#workspacedidchangeconfiguration omitting the "[language].format." prefix. # config = { format = { "semicolons" = "insert", "insertSpaceBeforeFunctionParenthesis" = true } } [[language]] name = "tsx" formatter = { command = 'prettier', args = ["--parser", "typescript"] } auto-format = true [[language]] name = "javascript" auto-format = true formatter = { command = 'npx', args = ["prettier", "--config", ".prettierrc", "--parser", "javascript"] } # formatter = { command = "prettier", args = ["--parser", "javascript"]} [[language]] name = "css" formatter = { command = 'prettier', args = ["--parser", "css"] } [[language]] name = "markdown" # https://github.com/executablebooks/mdformat formatter = { command = "mdformat", args = ["-"] } [[language]] name = "json" formatter = { command = "prettier", args = ["--parser", "json"] } [[language]] name = "toml" auto-format = true # https://github.com/bd82/toml-tools/tree/master/packages/prettier-plugin-toml formatter = { command = "prettier", args = ["--parser", "toml"] } [[language]] name = "yaml" indent = { tab-width = 2, unit = " " } formatter = { command = "prettier", args = ["--parser", "yaml"] } [[language]] name = "astro" scope = "source.astro" injection-regex = "astro" file-types = ["astro"] roots = ["package.json", "astro.config.mjs"] language-server = { command = "astro-ls", args = ["--stdio"] } config = { "typescript" = { serverPath = "/Users/matteostara/.nvm/versions/node/v18.16.0/bin/typescript-language-server" }, "environment" = "node" }

Depending on the language server version, you may be running into https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server/issues/631. I temporarily fixed it for me by simply sticking with an old enough server build, though judging by the latest typescript-language-server commits a very recent build from master should also work

Before, I was using typescript-language-server as it is LSP compliant but it was slow and lacks the features of what VSCode's implementation has, like extracting functions, constants, types into interfaces or alias and single imports. Auto-completion was also not very predictive as sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For instance, I was having trouble getting it to auto-complete common attributes like className or href in JSX projects. It could be that I may be doing something wrong but didn't find any solution on how to get it properly working.

Then this is highly likely issue of typescript-language-server. You might consider opening an issue for it.
