nvim-lspinstall VS tailwindcss-intellisense

A word of caution, I believe lspinstall has been deprecated in favor of nvim-lspinstall which itself has also been deprecated in favor of mason-lspconfig

kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall will aide in installing lsp's if you want. I have chosen not to because I want to have my full setup scripted so when I setup any new machine I just run my ansible-playbook. This library is nice to just set things up quick and play with them.

nvim-lspinstall

I'm trying to edit a lua file, and got this error which I realize is because I didn't have the Lua language server installed. So using the LspInstall plugin, I did :LspInstall lua which was successful.

Once you have it installed, you can configure it following the configuration of this file: https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall/wiki. The part that ia bellow the comment "-- lsp-install" works and it was what I used initially when I didn't really know much about configuring neovim.

I am using lspinstall to install language server. It uses this json-language-server. As the docs says jsonc is supported and it allows comments in jsonc filetypes but the lsp is not showing diagnostic if I make any other syntax error. On line 34 i have removed a comma and still lsp showing no diagnostic error in jsonc file.

You could try to use the instructions that nvim-lspinstall uses to install the tailwindcss language server: https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall/blob/main/lua/lspinstall/servers/tailwindcss.lua (lines 4 - 12)

It'll autocomplete classes in CSS with @apply, but it won't autocomplete custom classes from CSS in HTML

For fixing the tailwind's lsp we have to change some of the codebase of tailwind's lsp to make fix this issue for Neovim.

I don't have a full answer, but share your frustrations. This isn't easy to do until Tailwind support ES Modules [1] [2].

Seems others have had bad perf with tailwind lsp: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-intellisense/issues/444

It should work now: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-intellisense/pull/656 , you can see there was a problem: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/2213 but it was solved.

I don't know that. I actually don't have much experience with this kind but the language server code is available here.

I want to get LSP support when using tailwind-rn, but I cannot get the custom regex to work like described here.

You can install it by npm now https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-intellisense/tree/master/packages/tailwindcss-language-server and it's working.
