39 | ## `joinLines` | 43 | ## `CodeAction` Groups |
44 | |||
45 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/994 | ||
46 | |||
47 | **Client Capability:** `{ "codeActionGroup": boolean }` | ||
48 | |||
49 | If this capability is set, `CodeAction` returned from the server contain an additional field, `group`: | ||
50 | |||
51 | ```typescript | ||
52 | interface CodeAction { | ||
53 | title: string; | ||
54 | group?: string; | ||
55 | ... | ||
56 | } | ||
57 | ``` | ||
58 | |||
59 | All code-actions with the same `group` should be grouped under single (extendable) entry in lightbulb menu. | ||
60 | The set of actions `[ { title: "foo" }, { group: "frobnicate", title: "bar" }, { group: "frobnicate", title: "baz" }]` should be rendered as | ||
61 | |||
62 | ``` | ||
63 | 💡 | ||
64 | +-------------+ | ||
65 | | foo | | ||
66 | +-------------+-----+ | ||
67 | | frobnicate >| bar | | ||
68 | +-------------+-----+ | ||
69 | | baz | | ||
70 | +-----+ | ||
71 | ``` | ||
72 | |||
73 | Alternatively, selecting `frobnicate` could present a user with an additional menu to choose between `bar` and `baz`. | ||
74 | |||
75 | ### Example | ||
76 | |||
77 | ```rust | ||
78 | fn main() { | ||
79 | let x: Entry/*cursor here*/ = todo!(); | ||
80 | } | ||
81 | ``` | ||
82 | |||
83 | 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. | ||
84 | |||
85 | ### Unresolved Questions | ||
86 | |||
87 | * Is a fixed two-level structure enough? | ||
88 | * Should we devise a general way to encode custom interaction protocols for GUI refactorings? | ||

90 | ## Parent Module | ||
91 | |||
92 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/1002 | ||
93 | |||
94 | **Server Capability:** `{ "parentModule": boolean }` | ||
95 | |||
96 | This request is send from client to server to handle "Goto Parent Module" editor action. | ||
97 | |||
98 | **Method:** `experimental/parentModule` | ||
99 | |||
100 | **Request:** `TextDocumentPositionParams` | ||
101 | |||
102 | **Response:** `Location | Location[] | LocationLink[] | null` | ||
103 | |||
104 | |||
105 | ### Example | ||
106 | |||
107 | ```rust | ||
108 | // src/main.rs | ||
109 | mod foo; | ||
110 | // src/foo.rs | ||
111 | |||
112 | /* cursor here*/ | ||
113 | ``` | ||
114 | |||
115 | `experimental/parentModule` returns a single `Link` to the `mod foo;` declaration. | ||
116 | |||
117 | ### Unresolved Question | ||
118 | |||
119 | * An alternative would be to use a more general "gotoSuper" request, which would work for super methods, super classes and super modules. | ||
120 | This is the approach IntelliJ Rust is takeing. | ||
121 | However, experience shows that super module (which generally has a feeling of navigation between files) should be separate. | ||
122 | If you want super module, but the cursor happens to be inside an overriden function, the behavior with single "gotoSuper" request is surprising. | ||

171 | ## On Enter | ||
172 | |||
173 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/1001 | ||
174 | |||
175 | **Server Capability:** `{ "onEnter": boolean }` | ||
176 | |||
177 | This request is send from client to server to handle <kbd>Enter</kbd> keypress. | ||
178 | |||
179 | **Method:** `experimental/onEnter` | ||
180 | |||
181 | **Request:**: `TextDocumentPositionParams` | ||
182 | |||
183 | **Response:** | ||
184 | |||
185 | ```typescript | ||
186 | SnippetTextEdit[] | ||
187 | ``` | ||
188 | |||
189 | ### Example | ||
190 | |||
191 | ```rust | ||
192 | fn main() { | ||
193 | // Some /*cursor here*/ docs | ||
194 | let x = 92; | ||
195 | } | ||
196 | ``` | ||
197 | |||
198 | `experimental/onEnter` returns the following snippet | ||

202 | // Some | ||
203 | // $0 docs | ||
204 | let x = 92; | ||
205 | } | ||
206 | ``` | ||
207 | |||
208 | The primary goal of `onEnter` is to handle automatic indentation when opening a new line. | ||
209 | This is not yet implemented. | ||
210 | The secondary goal is to handle fixing up syntax, like continuing doc strings and comments, and escaping `\n` in string literals. | ||
211 | |||
212 | As proper cursor positioning is raison-d'etat for `onEnter`, it uses `SnippetTextEdit`. | ||
213 | |||
214 | ### Unresolved Question | ||
215 | |||
216 | * How to deal with synchronicity of the request? | ||
217 | One option is to require the client to block until the server returns the response. | ||
218 | Another option is to do a OT-style merging of edits from client and server. | ||
219 | A third option is to do a record-replay: client applies heuristic on enter immediatelly, then applies all user's keypresses. | ||
220 | 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. | ||
221 | * How to deal with multiple carets? | ||
222 | * Should we extend this to arbitrary typed events and not just `onEnter`? | ||

259 | ## Matching Brace | ||
260 | |||
261 | **Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/999 | ||
262 | |||
263 | **Server Capability:** `{ "matchingBrace": boolean }` | ||
264 | |||
265 | This request is send from client to server to handle "Matching Brace" editor action. | ||
266 | |||
267 | **Method:** `experimental/matchingBrace` | ||
268 | |||
269 | **Request:** | ||
270 | |||
271 | ```typescript | ||
272 | interface MatchingBraceParams { | ||
273 | textDocument: TextDocumentIdentifier, | ||
274 | /// Position for each cursor | ||
275 | positions: Position[], | ||
276 | } | ||
277 | ``` | ||

279 | **Response:** | ||
280 | |||
281 | ```typescript | ||

285 | ### Example | ||
286 | |||
287 | ```rust | ||
288 | fn main() { | ||
289 | let x: Vec<()>/*cursor here*/ = vec![] | ||
290 | } | ||
291 | ``` | ||
292 | |||
293 | `experimental/matchingBrace` yields the position of `<`. | ||
294 | In many cases, matching braces can be handled by the editor. | ||
295 | However, some cases (like disambiguating between generics and comparison operations) need a real parser. | ||
296 | Moreover, it would be cool if editors didn't need to implement even basic language parsing | ||
297 | |||
298 | ### Unresolved Question | ||
299 | |||
300 | * Should we return a a nested brace structure, to allow paredit-like actions of jump *out* of the current brace pair? | ||
301 | This is how `SelectionRange` request works. | ||
302 | * Alternatively, should we perhaps flag certain `SelectionRange`s as being brace pairs? | ||

366 | ## Inlay Hints | ||
367 | |||
368 | **Method:** `rust-analyzer/inlayHints` | ||
369 | |||
370 | This request is send from client to server to render "inlay hints" -- virtual text inserted into editor to show things like inferred types. | ||
371 | Generally, the client should re-query inlay hints after every modification. | ||
372 | 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. | ||
