"One Language Server...To Go Please!"
Microsoft VSCode LSPs packaged as (unofficial) standalone npm packages:
- vscode-lsp-togo-css
- vscode-lsp-togo-eslint
- vscode-lsp-togo-html
- vscode-lsp-togo-json
Microsoft has made some great LSP (Language Server Protocol) tools for VSCode. Saldy Microsoft has chosen to provide them only as part of VSCode or VSCode Extensions and not as a standalone package. Luckily many other editors (Zed, Neovim, Helix) have LSP support.
Package each language server with a lightweight cli wrapper and bob's your uncle.
- hrsh7th/vscode-langservers-extracted - Prior Art (extracted LSPs)
- yioneko/vtsls - LSP wrapper for VScode Typescript extension
Microsoft is going to greater lengths with their newer language servers to make them harder to use as a standalone package.
Perhaps in the future it will be possible to package:
- vscode-markdown-languageserver - NPM only, no GitHub repo. MIT licensed.
- vscode-php-language-server
If Microsoft ships standard NPM packages for these langauge, I will happily archive this project.
