NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
LSP client/framework *lsp* *LSP*
Nvim supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP), which means it acts as
a client to LSP servers and includes a Lua framework `vim.lsp` for building
enhanced LSP tools.
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/
LSP facilitates features like go-to-definition, find-references, hover,
completion, rename, format, refactor, etc., using semantic whole-project
analysis (unlike |ctags|).
Type |gO| to see the table of contents.
==============================================================================
QUICKSTART *lsp-quickstart*
Nvim provides a LSP client, but the servers are provided by third parties.
Follow these steps to get LSP features:
1. Install the nvim-lsp plugin. It provides common configuration for
various servers so you can get started quickly.
https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp
2. Install a language server. Try ":LspInstall <tab>" or use your system
package manager to install the relevant language server:
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/
3. Add `nvim_lsp.xx.setup{…}` to your vimrc, where "xx" is the name of the
relevant config. See the nvim-lsp README for details.
To check LSP clients attached to the current buffer: >
:lua print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()))
<
*lsp-config*
Inline diagnostics are enabled automatically, e.g. syntax errors will be
annotated in the buffer. But you probably want to use other features like
go-to-definition, hover, etc. Example config: >
nnoremap <silent> gd <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.declaration()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <c-]> <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> K <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> gD <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.implementation()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <c-k> <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.signature_help()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> 1gD <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.type_definition()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> gr <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.references()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> g0 <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.document_symbol()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> gW <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.workspace_symbol()<CR>
Nvim provides the |vim.lsp.omnifunc| 'omnifunc' handler which allows
|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| to consume LSP completion. Example config (note the use of
|v:lua| to call Lua from Vimscript): >
" Use LSP omni-completion in Python files.
autocmd Filetype python setlocal omnifunc=v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc
If a function has a `*_sync` variant, it's primarily intended for being run
automatically on file save. E.g. code formatting: >
" Auto-format *.rs files prior to saving them
autocmd BufWritePre *.rs lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync(nil, 1000)
================================================================================
FAQ *lsp-faq*
- Q: How to force-reload LSP?
A: Stop all clients, then reload the buffer. >
:lua vim.lsp.stop_client(vim.lsp.get_active_clients())
:edit
- Q: Why isn't completion working?
A: In the buffer where you want to use LSP, check that 'omnifunc' is set to
"v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc": >
:verbose set omnifunc?
< Some other plugin may be overriding the option. To avoid that, you could
set the option in an |after-directory| ftplugin, e.g.
"after/ftplugin/python.vim".
================================================================================
LSP API *lsp-api*
The `vim.lsp` Lua module is a framework for building LSP plugins.
1. Start with |vim.lsp.start_client()| and |vim.lsp.buf_attach_client()|.
2. Peek at the API: >
:lua print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp))
< 3. See |lsp-extension-example| for a full example.
LSP core API is described at |lsp-core|. Those are the core functions for
creating and managing clients.
The `vim.lsp.buf_…` functions perform operations for all LSP clients attached
to the given buffer. |lsp-buf|
LSP request/response handlers are implemented as Lua callbacks.
|lsp-callbacks| The `vim.lsp.callbacks` table defines default callbacks used
when creating a new client. Keys are LSP method names: >
:lua print(vim.inspect(vim.tbl_keys(vim.lsp.callbacks)))
These LSP requests/notifications are defined by default:
textDocument/publishDiagnostics
window/logMessage
window/showMessage
You can check these via `vim.tbl_keys(vim.lsp.callbacks)`.
These will be used preferentially in `vim.lsp.buf_…` methods for handling
requests. They will also be used when responding to server requests and
notifications.
Use cases:
- Users can modify this to customize to their preferences.
- UI plugins can modify this by assigning to
`vim.lsp.callbacks[method]` so as to provide more specialized
handling, allowing you to leverage the UI capabilities available. UIs should
try to be conscientious of any existing changes the user may have set
already by checking for existing values.
Any callbacks passed directly to `request` methods on a server client will
have the highest precedence, followed by the `callbacks`.
You can override the default handlers,
- globally: by modifying the `vim.lsp.callbacks` table
- per-client: by passing the {callbacks} table parameter to
|vim.lsp.start_client|
Each handler has this signature: >
function(err, method, params, client_id)
Callbacks are functions which are called in a variety of situations by the
client. Their signature is `function(err, method, params, client_id)` They can
be set by the {callbacks} parameter for |vim.lsp.start_client| or via the
|vim.lsp.callbacks|.
Handlers are called for:
- Notifications from the server (`err` is always `nil`).
- Requests initiated by the server (`err` is always `nil`).
The handler can respond by returning two values: `result, err`
where `err` must be shaped like an RPC error:
`{ code, message, data? }`
You can use |vim.lsp.rpc_response_error()| to create this object.
- Handling requests initiated by the client if the request doesn't explicitly
specify a callback (such as in |vim.lsp.buf_request|).
VIM.LSP.PROTOCOL *vim.lsp.protocol*
Module `vim.lsp.protocol` defines constants dictated by the LSP specification,
and helper functions for creating protocol-related objects.
https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/raw/gh-pages/_specifications/specification-3-14.md
For example `vim.lsp.protocol.ErrorCodes` allows reverse lookup by number or
name: >
vim.lsp.protocol.TextDocumentSyncKind.Full == 1
vim.lsp.protocol.TextDocumentSyncKind[1] == "Full"

================================================================================
LSP EXAMPLE *lsp-extension-example*
This example is for plugin authors or users who want a lot of control. If you
are just getting started see |lsp-quickstart|.
For more advanced configurations where just filtering by filetype isn't
sufficient, you can use the `vim.lsp.start_client()` and
`vim.lsp.buf_attach_client()` commands to easily customize the configuration
however you please. For example, if you want to do your own filtering, or
start a new LSP client based on the root directory for if you plan to work
with multiple projects in a single session. Below is a fully working Lua
example which can do exactly that.
The example will:
1. Check for each new buffer whether or not we want to start an LSP client.
2. Try to find a root directory by ascending from the buffer's path.
3. Create a new LSP for that root directory if one doesn't exist.
4. Attach the buffer to the client for that root directory.

{params} [string]: Arguments to send to the server
Return: ~
true if any client returns true; false otherwise
*vim.lsp.buf_request()*
buf_request({bufnr}, {method}, {params}, {callback})
Sends an async request for all active clients attached to the
buffer.
Parameters: ~
{bufnr} (number) Buffer handle, or 0 for current.
{method} (string) LSP method name
{params} (optional, table) Parameters to send to the
server
{callback} (optional, functionnil) Handler
Return: ~
2-tuple:
• Map of client-id:request-id pairs for all successful
requests.
• Function which can be used to cancel all the requests.
You could instead iterate all clients and call their
`cancel_request()` methods.
*vim.lsp.buf_request_sync()*
buf_request_sync({bufnr}, {method}, {params}, {timeout_ms})
Sends a request to a server and waits for the response.
Calls |vim.lsp.buf_request()| but blocks Nvim while awaiting
the result. Parameters are the same as |vim.lsp.buf_request()|
but the return result is different. Wait maximum of
{timeout_ms} (default 100) ms.
Parameters: ~
{bufnr} (number) Buffer handle, or 0 for current.
{method} (string) LSP method name
{params} (optional, table) Parameters to send to the
server
{timeout_ms} (optional, number, default=100) Maximum time
in milliseconds to wait for a result.
Return: ~
Map of client_id:request_result. On timeout, cancel or
error, returns `(nil, err)` where `err` is a string
describing the failure reason.
client() *vim.lsp.client*
LSP client object. You can get an active client object via
|vim.lsp.get_client_by_id()| or
|vim.lsp.get_active_clients()|.
• Methods:
• request(method, params, [callback], bufnr) Send a request
to the server. This is a thin wrapper around
{client.rpc.request} with some additional checking. If
{callback} is not specified, it will use
{client.callbacks} to try to find a callback. If one is
not found there, then an error will occur. Returns:
{status}, {[client_id]}. {status} is a boolean indicating
if the notification was successful. If it is `false` ,
then it will always be `false` (the client has shutdown).
If {status} is `true` , the function returns {request_id}
as the second result. You can use this with
`client.cancel_request(request_id)` to cancel the request.
• notify(method, params) Send a notification to an LSP
server. Returns: a boolean to indicate if the notification
was successful. If it is false, then it will always be
false (the client has shutdown).
• cancel_request(id) Cancels a request with a given request
id. Returns: same as `notify()` .
• stop([force]) Stop a client, optionally with force. By
default, it will just ask the server to shutdown without
force. If you request to stop a client which has
previously been requested to shutdown, it will
automatically escalate and force shutdown.
• is_stopped() Checks whether a client is stopped. Returns:
true if the client is fully stopped.
• on_attach(bufnr) Runs the on_attach function from the
client's config if it was defined.
• Members
• {id} (number): The id allocated to the client.
• {name} (string): If a name is specified on creation, that
will be used. Otherwise it is just the client id. This is
used for logs and messages.
• {rpc} (table): RPC client object, for low level
interaction with the client. See |vim.lsp.rpc.start()|.
• {offset_encoding} (string): The encoding used for
communicating with the server. You can modify this in the
`config` 's `on_init` method before text is sent to the
server.
• {callbacks} (table): The callbacks used by the client as
described in |lsp-callbacks|.
• {config} (table): copy of the table that was passed by the
user to |vim.lsp.start_client()|.
• {server_capabilities} (table): Response from the server
sent on `initialize` describing the server's capabilities.
• {resolved_capabilities} (table): Normalized table of
capabilities that we have detected based on the initialize
response from the server in `server_capabilities` .
client_is_stopped({client_id}) *vim.lsp.client_is_stopped()*
Checks whether a client is stopped.
Parameters: ~
{client_id} (Number)
Return: ~
true if client is stopped, false otherwise.

Gets all active clients.
Return: ~
Table of |vim.lsp.client| objects

Gets an active client by id, or nil if the id is invalid or
the client is not yet initialized.
Parameters: ~
{client_id} client id number
Return: ~
|vim.lsp.client| object, or nil
get_log_path() *vim.lsp.get_log_path()*
Gets the path of the logfile used by the LSP client.
Return: ~
(String) Path to logfile.
omnifunc({findstart}, {base}) *vim.lsp.omnifunc()*
Implements 'omnifunc' compatible LSP completion.
Parameters: ~
{findstart} 0 or 1, decides behavior
{base} If findstart=0, text to match against
Return: ~
(number) Decided by`findstart`:
• findstart=0: column where the completion starts, or -2
or -3
• findstart=1: list of matches (actually just calls
|complete()|)
See also: ~
|complete-functions|
|complete-items|
|CompleteDone|
set_log_level({level}) *vim.lsp.set_log_level()*
Sets the global log level for LSP logging.
Levels by name: "trace", "debug", "info", "warn", "error"
Level numbers begin with "trace" at 0
Use `lsp.log_levels` for reverse lookup.
Parameters: ~
{level} [number|string] the case insensitive level name
or number
See also: ~
|vim.lsp.log_levels|
start_client({config}) *vim.lsp.start_client()*
Starts and initializes a client with the given configuration.
Parameters `cmd` and `root_dir` are required.
The following parameters describe fields in the {config}
table.
Parameters: ~
{root_dir} (required, string) Directory where the
LSP server will base its rootUri on
initialization.
{cmd} (required, string or list treated like
|jobstart()|) Base command that
initiates the LSP client.
{cmd_cwd} (string, default=|getcwd()|) Directory
to launch the `cmd` process. Not
related to `root_dir` .
{cmd_env} (table) Environment flags to pass to
the LSP on spawn. Can be specified
using keys like a map or as a list with `k=v` pairs or both. Non-string values are
coerced to string. Example: >
{ "PRODUCTION=true"; "TEST=123"; PORT = 8080; HOST = "0.0.0.0"; }
<
{capabilities} Map overriding the default capabilities
defined by
|vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()|,
passed to the language server on
initialization. Hint: use
make_client_capabilities() and modify
its result.
• Note: To send an empty dictionary use
`{[vim.type_idx]=vim.types.dictionary}`
, else it will be encoded as an
array.
{callbacks} Map of language server method names to `function(err, method, params,
client_id)` handler. Invoked for:
• Notifications to the server, where
`err` will always be `nil` .
• Requests by the server. For these you
can respond by returning two values:
`result, err` where err must be
shaped like a RPC error, i.e. `{
code, message, data? }` . Use
|vim.lsp.rpc_response_error()| to
help with this.
• Default callback for client requests
not explicitly specifying a callback.
{init_options} Values to pass in the initialization
request as `initializationOptions` .
See `initialize` in the LSP spec.
{name} (string, default=client-id) Name in log
messages.
{offset_encoding} (default="utf-16") One of "utf-8",
"utf-16", or "utf-32" which is the
encoding that the LSP server expects.
Client does not verify this is correct.
{on_error} Callback with parameters (code, ...),
invoked when the client operation
throws an error. `code` is a number
describing the error. Other arguments
may be passed depending on the error
kind. See |vim.lsp.client_errors| for
possible errors. Use
`vim.lsp.client_errors[code]` to get
human-friendly name.
{before_init} Callback with parameters
(initialize_params, config) invoked
before the LSP "initialize" phase,
where `params` contains the parameters
being sent to the server and `config`
is the config that was passed to
|vim.lsp.start_client()|. You can use
this to modify parameters before they
are sent.
{on_init} Callback (client, initialize_result)
invoked after LSP "initialize", where
`result` is a table of `capabilities`
and anything else the server may send.
For example, clangd sends
`initialize_result.offsetEncoding` if
`capabilities.offsetEncoding` was sent
to it. You can only modify the
`client.offset_encoding` here before
any notifications are sent.
{on_exit} Callback (code, signal, client_id)
invoked on client exit.
• code: exit code of the process
• signal: number describing the signal
used to terminate (if any)
• client_id: client handle
{on_attach} Callback (client, bufnr) invoked when
client attaches to a buffer.
{trace} "off" | "messages" | "verbose" | nil
passed directly to the language server
in the initialize request.
Invalid/empty values will default to
"off"
Return: ~
Client id. |vim.lsp.get_client_by_id()| Note: client is
only available after it has been initialized, which may
happen after a small delay (or never if there is an
error). Use `on_init` to do any actions once the client
has been initialized.
stop_client({client_id}, {force}) *vim.lsp.stop_client()*
Stops a client(s).
You can also use the `stop()` function on a |vim.lsp.client|
object. To stop all clients:
>
vim.lsp.stop_client(vim.lsp.get_active_clients())
<
By default asks the server to shutdown, unless stop was
requested already for this client, then force-shutdown is
attempted.
Parameters: ~
{client_id} client id or |vim.lsp.client| object, or list
thereof
{force} boolean (optional) shutdown forcefully
