TODO Changelog

Installation

Enable this module in your doom! block.

This module requires Lua 5.1+ for most of its capabilities and, optionally, the fennel and moonscript transpilers. An LSP server is also required for LSP support.

Language Server Protocol servers

LSP server support depends on which flavor of the doom-module::tools lsp module you have installed (doom-package:eglot or doom-package:lsp-mode).

LSP-mode

Three servers are supported, ordered from highest to lowest priority:

EmmyLua-LanguageServer

Must be in $EMACSDIR/.local/etc/lsp/EmmyLua-LS-all.jar. See lsp-clients-emmy-lua-jar-path variable to change this.

Sumneko language server (lua-language-server)

Must be in $EMACSDIR/.local/etc/lsp/lua-language-server/. See lsp-clients-lua-language-server-bin variable to change this.

lua-lsp

Must be available in ~/.luarocks/bin/lua-lsp. See lsp-clients-lua-lsp-server-install-dir variable to change this.

LSP-mode documentation has more information about setting up the server and the configuration variables correctly.

Eglot

Eglot currently only supports one of the above servers out of the box:

Sumneko language server (lua-language-server)

Must be in $EMACSDIR/.local/etc/lsp/lua-language-server/. See +lua-lsp-dir variable to change this.

Formatter

Formatting is handled using the doom-module::editor format module via Stylua.

TODO Usage

󱌣 This module has no usage documentation yet. Write some?

TODO Configuration

󱌣 This module's configuration documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

lua-lsp-dir

This must be set when using doom-module:+lsp and using lua-language-server. This controls where the repository has been cloned and built to finish the configuration of the server.

Troubleshooting

Report an issue?

Install lua-language-server

A catch-all issue has been created to gather help for installing lua-language-server on non-VSCode platforms.
