120# Code Style & Review Process
121
122Our approach to "clean code" is two fold:
123
124* We generally don't block PRs on style changes.
125* At the same time, all code in rust-analyzer is constantly refactored.
126
127It is explicitly OK for reviewer to flag only some nits in the PR, and than send a follow up cleanup PR for things which are easier to explain by example, cc-ing the original author.
128Sending small cleanup PRs (like rename a single local variable) is encouraged.
129
130## Scale of Changes
131
132Everyone knows that it's better to send small & focused pull requests.
133The problem is, sometimes you *have* to, eg, rewrite the whole compiler, and that just doesn't fit into a set of isolated PRs.
134
135The main thing too keep an eye on is the boundaries between various components.
136There are three kinds of changes:
137
1381. Internals of a single component are changed.
139 Specifically, you don't change any `pub` items.
140 A good example here would be an addition of a new assist.
141
1422. API of a component is expanded.
143 Specifically, you add a new `pub` function which wasn't there before.
144 A good example here would be expansion of assist API, for example, to implement lazy assists or assists groups.
145
1463. A new dependency between components is introduced.
147 Specifically, you add a `pub use` reexport from another crate or you add a new line to `[dependencies]` section of `Cargo.toml`.
148 A good example here would be adding reference search capability to the assists crates.
149
150For the first group, the change is generally merged as long as:
151
152* it works for the happy case,
153* it has tests,
154* it doesn't panic for unhappy case.
155
156For the second group, the change would be subjected to quite a bit of scrutiny and iteration.
157The new API needs to be right (or at least easy to change later).
158The actual implementation doesn't matter that much.
159It's very important to minimize the amount of changed lines of code for changes of the second kind.
160Often, you start doing change of the first kind, only to realise that you need to elevate to a change of the second kind.
161In this case, we'll probably ask you to split API changes into a separate PR.
162
163Changes of the third group should be pretty rare, so we don't specify any specific process for them.
164That said, adding an innocent-looking `pub use` is a very simple way to break encapsulation, keep an eye on it!

169## Order of Imports
170
171We separate import groups with blank lines
172
173```rust
174mod x;
175mod y;
176
177use std::{ ... }
178
179use crate_foo::{ ... }
180use crate_bar::{ ... }
181
182use crate::{}
183
184use super::{} // but prefer `use crate::`
185```
186
187## Import Style
188
189Items from `hir` and `ast` should be used qualified:
190
191```rust
192// Good
193use ra_syntax::ast;
194
195fn frobnicate(func: hir::Function, strukt: ast::StructDef) {}
196
197// Not as good
198use hir::Function;
199use ra_syntax::ast::StructDef;
200
201fn frobnicate(func: Function, strukt: StructDef) {}
202```
203
204Avoid local `use MyEnum::*` imports.
205
206Prefer `use crate::foo::bar` to `use super::bar`.
207
208## Order of Items
209
210Optimize for the reader who sees the file for the first time, and wants to get the general idea about what's going on.
211People read things from top to bottom, so place most important things first.
212
213Specifically, if all items except one are private, always put the non-private item on top.
214
215Put `struct`s and `enum`s first, functions and impls last.
216
217Do
218
219```rust
220// Good
221struct Foo {
222 bars: Vec<Bar>
223}
224
225struct Bar;
226```
227
228rather than
229
230```rust
231// Not as good
232struct Bar;
233
234struct Foo {
235 bars: Vec<Bar>
236}
237```
238
239## Documentation
240
241For `.md` and `.adoc` files, prefer a sentence-per-line format, don't wrap lines.
242If the line is too long, you want to split the sentence in two :-)
243
244## Preconditions
245
246Function preconditions should generally be expressed in types and provided by the caller (rather than checked by callee):
247
248```rust
249// Good
250fn frbonicate(walrus: Walrus) {
251 ...
252}
253
254// Not as good
255fn frobnicate(walrus: Option<Walrus>) {
256 let walrus = match walrus {
257 Some(it) => it,
258 None => return,
259 };
260 ...
261}
262```
263
264## Commit Style
265
266We don't have specific rules around git history hygiene.
267Maintaining clean git history is encouraged, but not enforced.
268We use rebase workflow, it's OK to rewrite history during PR review process.
269
270Avoid @mentioning people in commit messages, as such messages create a lot of duplicate notification traffic during rebases.
271
272# Architecture Invariants
273
274This section tries to document high-level design constraints, which are not
275always obvious from the low-level code.
276
277## Incomplete syntax trees
278
279Syntax trees are by design incomplete and do not enforce well-formedness.
280If ast method returns an `Option`, it *can* be `None` at runtime, even if this is forbidden by the grammar.
281
282## LSP independence
283
284rust-analyzer is independent from LSP.
285It provides features for a hypothetical perfect Rust-specific IDE client.
286Internal representations are lowered to LSP in the `rust-analyzer` crate (the only crate which is allowed to use LSP types).
287
288## IDE/Compiler split
289
290There's a semi-hard split between "compiler" and "IDE", at the `ra_hir` crate.
291Compiler derives new facts about source code.
292It explicitly acknowledges that not all info is available (i.e. you can't look at types during name resolution).
293
294IDE assumes that all information is available at all times.
295
296IDE should use only types from `ra_hir`, and should not depend on the underling compiler types.
297`ra_hir` is a facade.
298
299## IDE API
300
301The main IDE crate (`ra_ide`) uses "Plain Old Data" for the API.
302Rather than talking in definitions and references, it talks in Strings and textual offsets.
303In general, API is centered around UI concerns -- the result of the call is what the user sees in the editor, and not what the compiler sees underneath.
304The results are 100% Rust specific though.
305
306## Parser Tests
307
308Test for parser (`ra_parser`) live in `ra_syntax` crate (see `test_data` direcotory).
309There are two kinds of tests:
310
311* Manually written test cases in `parser/ok` and `parser/err`
312* "Inline" tests in `parser/inline` (these are generated) from comments in `ra_parser` crate.
313
314The purpose of inline tests is not to achieve full coverage by test cases, but to explain to the reader of the code what each particular `if` and `match` is responsible for.
315If you are tempted to add a large inline test, it might be a good idea to leave only the simplest example in place, and move the test to a manual `parser/ok` test.

100## Lazy assists with `ResolveCodeAction`
101
102**Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/787
103
104**Client Capability** `{ "resolveCodeAction": boolean }`
105
106If this capability is set, the assists will be computed lazily. Thus `CodeAction` returned from the server will only contain `id` but not `edit` or `command` fields. The only exclusion from the rule is the diagnostic edits.
107
108After the client got the id, it should then call `experimental/resolveCodeAction` command on the server and provide the following payload:
109
110```typescript
111interface ResolveCodeActionParams {
112 id: string;
113 codeActionParams: lc.CodeActionParams;
114}
115```
116
117As a result of the command call the client will get the respective workspace edit (`lc.WorkspaceEdit`).
118
119### Unresolved Questions
120
121* Apply smarter filtering for ids?
122* Upon `resolveCodeAction` command only call the assits which should be resolved and not all of them?
