The main interface to rust-analyzer is the
[LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) implementation. To
install lsp server, use `cargo install-lsp`, which is a shorthand for `cargo
install --package ra_lsp_server`. The binary is named `ra_lsp_server`, you
should be able to use it with any LSP-compatible editor. We use custom
extensions to LSP, so special client-side support is required to take full
advantage of rust-analyzer. This repository contains support code for VS Code
and Emacs.
Rust Analyzer needs sources of rust standard library to work, so you might need
to execute
```
$ rustup component add rust-src
```
See [./features.md](./features.md) document for a list of features that are available.
## VS Code
Prerequisites:
In order to build the VS Code plugin, you need to have node.js and npm with
a minimum version of 10 installed. Please refer to
[node.js and npm documentation](https://nodejs.org) for installation instructions.
You will also need the most recent version of VS Code: we don't try to
maintain compatibility with older versions yet.
The experimental VS Code plugin can then be built and installed by executing the
following commands:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
$ cd rust-analyzer
$ cargo install-code
```
The automatic installation is expected to *just work* for common cases, if it
doesn't, report bugs!
If you have an unusual setup (for example, `code` is not in the `PATH`), you
should adapt these manual installation instructions:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
$ cd rust-analyzer
$ cargo install --path ./crates/ra_lsp_server/ --force
$ cd ./editors/code
$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/vsce/out/vsce package
$ code --install-extension ./ra-lsp-0.0.1.vsix
```
It's better to remove existing Rust plugins to avoid interference.
Beyond basic LSP features, there are some extension commands which you can
invoke via <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd> or bind to a shortcut. See [./features.md](./features.md)
for details.
### Settings
* `rust-analyzer.highlightingOn`: enables experimental syntax highlighting
* `rust-analyzer.showWorkspaceLoadedNotification`: to ease troubleshooting, a
notification is shown by default when a workspace is loaded
* `rust-analyzer.enableEnhancedTyping`: by default, rust-analyzer intercepts
`Enter` key to make it easier to continue comments. Note that it may conflict with VIM emulation plugin.
* `rust-analyzer.raLspServerPath`: path to `ra_lsp_server` executable
* `rust-analyzer.enableCargoWatchOnStartup`: prompt to install & enable `cargo
watch` for live error highlighting (note, this **does not** use rust-analyzer)
* `rust-analyzer.cargo-watch.check-arguments`: cargo-watch check arguments.
(e.g: `--features="shumway,pdf"` will run as `cargo watch -x "check --features="shumway,pdf""` )
* `rust-analyzer.trace.server`: enables internal logging
* `rust-analyzer.trace.cargo-watch`: enables cargo-watch logging
## Emacs
Prerequisites:
`emacs-lsp`, `dash` and `ht` packages.
Installation:
* add
[ra-emacs-lsp.el](https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/69ee5c9c5ef212f7911028c9ddf581559e6565c3/editors/emacs/ra-emacs-lsp.el)
to load path and require it in `init.el`
* run `lsp` in a rust buffer
* (Optionally) bind commands like `rust-analyzer-join-lines` or `rust-analyzer-extend-selection` to keys
## Vim and NeoVim
* Install coc.nvim by following the instructions at [coc.nvim]
* Add rust analyzer using: [coc.nvim wiki][coc-wiki]
```jsonc
"languageserver": {
"rust": {
"command": "ra_lsp_server",
"filetypes": ["rust"],
"rootPatterns": ["Cargo.toml"]
}
}
```
[coc.nvim]: https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim
[coc-wiki]: https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/wiki/Language-servers#rust
## Sublime Text 3
Prequisites:
`LSP` package.
Installation:
* Invoke the command palette with <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+P</kbd>
* Type `LSP Settings` to open the LSP preferences editor
* Add the following LSP client definition to your settings:
```json
"rust-analyzer": {
"command": ["rustup", "run", "stable", "ra_lsp_server"],
"languageId": "rust",
"scopes": ["source.rust"],
"syntaxes": [
"Packages/Rust/Rust.sublime-syntax",
"Packages/Rust Enhanced/RustEnhanced.sublime-syntax"
]
}
```
* You can now invoke the command palette and type LSP enable to locally/globally enable the rust-analyzer LSP (type LSP enable, then choose either locally or globally, then select rust-analyzer)
