tower-lsp

Language Server Protocol implementation for Rust based on Tower.

Tower is a simple and composable framework for implementing asynchronous services in Rust. Central to Tower is the Service trait, which provides the necessary abstractions for defining request/response clients and servers. Examples of protocols implemented using the Service trait include tower-web and tower-grpc.

This library (tower-lsp) provides a simple implementation of the Language Server Protocol (LSP) that makes it easy to write your own language server. It consists of three parts:

• The LanguageServer trait which defines the behavior of your language server.
• The asynchronous LspService delegate which wraps your language server implementation and defines the behavior of the protocol.
• A Server which spawns the LspService and processes requests and responses over stdin and stdout.

Example

use tower_lsp::jsonrpc::Result;
use tower_lsp::lsp_types::*;
use tower_lsp::{Client, LanguageServer, LspService, Server};

#[derive(Debug, Default)]
struct Backend;

#[tower_lsp::async_trait]
impl LanguageServer for Backend {
    async fn initialize(&self, _: &Client, _: InitializeParams) -> Result<InitializeResult> {
        Ok(InitializeResult::default())
    }

    async fn initialized(&self, client: &Client, _: InitializedParams) {
        client.log_message(MessageType::Info, "server initialized!");
    }

    async fn shutdown(&self) -> Result<()> {
        Ok(())
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let stdin = tokio::io::stdin();
    let stdout = tokio::io::stdout();

    let (service, messages) = LspService::new(Backend::default());
    Server::new(stdin, stdout)
        .interleave(messages)
        .serve(service)
        .await;
}
