The Zig Language Server (ZLS) is a tool that implements Microsoft's Language Server Protocol for Zig in Zig. In simpler terms: it'll provide you with completions, go-to definition, etc. when you write Zig code!

Building ZLS requires a build of Zig master.

git clone https://github.com/zigtools/zls
cd zls
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe

ZLS supports most language features, including simple type function support, using namespace, payload capture type resolution, custom packages, cImport and others. Support for comptime and semantic analysis is Work-in-Progress.

The following LSP features are supported:

• Completions
• Hover
• Goto definition/declaration
• Document symbols
• Find references
• Rename symbol
• Formatting using zig fmt
• Semantic token highlighting
• Inlay hints
• Code actions
• Selection ranges
• Folding regions

• sublime-zig-language by @prime31
  • Supports basic language features
  • Uses data provided by src/data to perform builtin autocompletion
• zig-lsp by @xackus
  • Inspiration for ZLS
• known-folders by @ziglibs
  • Provides API to access known folders on Linux, Windows and Mac OS
• zls by @zigtools
  • Used by many ZLS developers to more efficiently work on ZLS

We'd like to take a second to thank all our awesome contributors and donators/backers/sponsors; if you have time or money to spare, consider partaking in either of these options - they help keep ZLS awesome for everyone!
