12 | ## `initializationOptions` | ||
13 | |||
14 | As `initializationOptions`, `rust-analyzer` expects `"rust-analyzer"` section of the configuration. | ||
15 | That is, `rust-analyzer` usually sends `"workspace/configuration"` request with `{ "items": ["rust-analyzer"] }` payload. | ||
16 | `initializationOptions` should contain the same data that would be in the first item of the result. | ||
17 | It's OK to not send anything, then all the settings would take their default values. | ||
18 | However, some settings can not be changed after startup at the moment. | ||

53 | ## `CodeAction` Groups | ||
54 | |||
55 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/994 | ||
56 | |||
57 | **Client Capability:** `{ "codeActionGroup": boolean }` | ||
58 | |||
59 | If this capability is set, `CodeAction` returned from the server contain an additional field, `group`: | ||
60 | |||
61 | ```typescript | ||
62 | interface CodeAction { | ||
63 | title: string; | ||
64 | group?: string; | ||
65 | ... | ||
66 | } | ||
67 | ``` | ||
68 | |||
69 | All code-actions with the same `group` should be grouped under single (extendable) entry in lightbulb menu. | ||
70 | The set of actions `[ { title: "foo" }, { group: "frobnicate", title: "bar" }, { group: "frobnicate", title: "baz" }]` should be rendered as | ||
71 | |||
72 | ``` | ||
73 | 💡 | ||
74 | +-------------+ | ||
75 | | foo | | ||
76 | +-------------+-----+ | ||
77 | | frobnicate >| bar | | ||
78 | +-------------+-----+ | ||
79 | | baz | | ||
80 | +-----+ | ||
81 | ``` | ||
82 | |||
83 | Alternatively, selecting `frobnicate` could present a user with an additional menu to choose between `bar` and `baz`. | ||
84 | |||
85 | ### Example | ||
86 | |||
87 | ```rust | ||
88 | fn main() { | ||
89 | let x: Entry/*cursor here*/ = todo!(); | ||
90 | } | ||
91 | ``` | ||
92 | |||
93 | Invoking code action at this position will yield two code actions for importing `Entry` from either `collections::HashMap` or `collection::BTreeMap`, grouped under a single "import" group. | ||
94 | |||
95 | ### Unresolved Questions | ||
96 | |||
97 | * Is a fixed two-level structure enough? | ||
98 | * Should we devise a general way to encode custom interaction protocols for GUI refactorings? | ||

100 | ## Parent Module | ||
101 | |||
102 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/1002 | ||
103 | |||
104 | **Server Capability:** `{ "parentModule": boolean }` | ||
105 | |||
106 | This request is send from client to server to handle "Goto Parent Module" editor action. | ||
107 | |||
108 | **Method:** `experimental/parentModule` | ||
109 | |||
110 | **Request:** `TextDocumentPositionParams` | ||
111 | |||
112 | **Response:** `Location | Location[] | LocationLink[] | null` | ||
113 | |||
114 | |||
115 | ### Example | ||
116 | |||
117 | ```rust | ||
118 | // src/main.rs | ||
119 | mod foo; | ||
120 | // src/foo.rs | ||
121 | |||
122 | /* cursor here*/ | ||
123 | ``` | ||
124 | |||
125 | `experimental/parentModule` returns a single `Link` to the `mod foo;` declaration. | ||
126 | |||
127 | ### Unresolved Question | ||
128 | |||
129 | * An alternative would be to use a more general "gotoSuper" request, which would work for super methods, super classes and super modules. | ||
130 | This is the approach IntelliJ Rust is takeing. | ||
131 | However, experience shows that super module (which generally has a feeling of navigation between files) should be separate. | ||
132 | If you want super module, but the cursor happens to be inside an overriden function, the behavior with single "gotoSuper" request is surprising. | ||

181 | ## On Enter | ||
182 | |||
183 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/1001 | ||
184 | |||
185 | **Server Capability:** `{ "onEnter": boolean }` | ||

204 | let x = 92; | ||

214 | let x = 92; | ||
215 | } | ||
216 | ``` | ||
217 | |||
218 | The primary goal of `onEnter` is to handle automatic indentation when opening a new line. | ||
219 | This is not yet implemented. | ||
220 | The secondary goal is to handle fixing up syntax, like continuing doc strings and comments, and escaping `\n` in string literals. | ||
221 | |||
222 | As proper cursor positioning is raison-d'etat for `onEnter`, it uses `SnippetTextEdit`. | ||
223 | |||
224 | ### Unresolved Question | ||
225 | |||
226 | * How to deal with synchronicity of the request? | ||
227 | One option is to require the client to block until the server returns the response. | ||
228 | Another option is to do a OT-style merging of edits from client and server. | ||
229 | A third option is to do a record-replay: client applies heuristic on enter immediatelly, then applies all user's keypresses. | ||
230 | When the server is ready with the response, the client rollbacks all the changes and applies the recorded actions on top of the correct response. | ||
231 | * How to deal with multiple carets? | ||
232 | * Should we extend this to arbitrary typed events and not just `onEnter`? | ||

130 | 272 | ||
131 | **Client Capability:** `{ "codeActionGroup": boolean }` | 273 | **Server Capability:** `{ "matchingBrace": boolean }` |

133 | If this capability is set, `CodeAction` returned from the server contain an additional field, `group`: | 275 | This request is send from client to server to handle "Matching Brace" editor action. |
276 | |||
277 | **Method:** `experimental/matchingBrace` | ||
278 | |||
279 | **Request:** | ||
134 | 280 | ||
135 | ```typescript | 281 | ```typescript |
136 | interface CodeAction { | 282 | interface MatchingBraceParams { |

164 | } | 300 | } |
165 | ``` | 301 | ``` |
166 | 302 | ||
167 | Invoking code action at this position will yield two code actions for importing `Entry` from either `collections::HashMap` or `collection::BTreeMap`, grouped under a single "import" group. | 303 | `experimental/matchingBrace` yields the position of `<`. |
304 | In many cases, matching braces can be handled by the editor. | ||
305 | However, some cases (like disambiguating between generics and comparison operations) need a real parser. | ||
306 | Moreover, it would be cool if editors didn't need to implement even basic language parsing | ||
168 | 307 | ||
169 | ### Unresolved Questions | 308 | ### Unresolved Question |
170 | 309 | ||
171 | * Is a fixed two-level structure enough? | 310 | * Should we return a a nested brace structure, to allow paredit-like actions of jump *out* of the current brace pair? |
172 | * Should we devise a general way to encode custom interaction protocols for GUI refactorings? | 311 | This is how `SelectionRange` request works. |
312 | * Alternatively, should we perhaps flag certain `SelectionRange`s as being brace pairs? | ||

314 | ## Runnables | ||
315 | |||
316 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/944 | ||
317 | |||
318 | **Server Capability:** `{ "runnables": { "kinds": string[] } }` | ||
319 | |||
320 | This request is send from client to server to get the list of things that can be run (tests, binaries, `cargo check -p`). | ||
321 | |||
322 | **Method:** `experimental/runnables` | ||
323 | |||
324 | **Request:** | ||
325 | |||
326 | ```typescript | ||
327 | interface RunnablesParams { | ||
328 | textDocument: TextDocumentIdentifier; | ||
329 | /// If null, compute runnables for the whole file. | ||
330 | position?: Position; | ||
331 | } | ||
332 | ``` | ||
333 | |||
334 | **Response:** `Runnable[]` | ||
335 | |||
336 | ```typescript | ||
337 | interface Runnable { | ||
338 | label: string; | ||
339 | /// If this Runnable is associated with a specific function/module, etc, the location of this item | ||
340 | location?: LocationLink; | ||
341 | /// Running things is necessary technology specific, `kind` needs to be advertised via server capabilities, | ||
342 | // the type of `args` is specific to `kind`. The actual running is handled by the client. | ||
343 | kind: string; | ||
344 | args: any; | ||
345 | } | ||
346 | ``` | ||
347 | |||
348 | rust-analyzer supports only one `kind`, `"cargo"`. The `args` for `"cargo"` look like this: | ||
349 | |||
350 | ```typescript | ||
351 | { | ||
352 | workspaceRoot?: string; | ||
353 | cargoArgs: string[]; | ||
354 | executableArgs: string[]; | ||
355 | } | ||
356 | ``` | ||
357 | |||
358 | ## Analyzer Status | ||

361 | |||
362 | **Request:** `null` | ||
363 | |||
364 | **Response:** `string` | ||

419 | |||
420 | ## Inlay Hints | ||
421 | |||
422 | **Method:** `rust-analyzer/inlayHints` | ||
423 | |||
424 | This request is send from client to server to render "inlay hints" -- virtual text inserted into editor to show things like inferred types. | ||
425 | Generally, the client should re-query inlay hints after every modification. | ||
426 | Note that we plan to move this request to `experimental/inlayHints`, as it is not really Rust-specific, but the current API is not necessary the right one. | ||
