boilerplate for a rust language server powered by tower-lsp

Introduction

This repo is a template for tower-lsp, a useful github project template which makes writing new language servers easier.

Development using VSCode

1. pnpm i
2. cargo build
3. Open the project in VSCode: code .
4. In VSCode, press F5 or change to the Debug panel and click Launch Client.
5. In the newly launched VSCode instance, open the file examples/test.nrs from this project.
6. If the LSP is working correctly you should see syntax highlighting and the features described below should work.

Note

If encountered errors like Cannot find module '/xxx/xxx/dist/extension.js' please try run command tsc -b manually, you could refer #6 for more details

A valid program in nano rust

fn factorial(x) {
    // Conditionals are supported!
    if x == 0 {
        1
    } else {
        x * factorial(x - 1)
    }
}

// The main function
fn main() {
    let three = 3;
    let meaning_of_life = three * 14 + 1;

    print("Hello, world!");
    print("The meaning of life is...");

    if meaning_of_life == 42 {
        print(meaning_of_life);
    } else {
        print("...something we cannot know");

        print("However, I can tell you that the factorial of 10 is...");
        // Function calling
        print(factorial(10));
    }
}
