<p>Language-specific settings and settings for language servers are configured

in <code>languages.toml</code> files.</p>
|

<h2 id="languagestoml-files"><a class="header" href="#languagestoml-files"><code>languages.toml</code> files</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are three possible locations for a <code>languages.toml</code> file:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<p>In the Helix source code, which lives in the
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml">Helix repository</a>.
|
||
|
|
It provides the default configurations for languages and language servers.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<p>In your <a href="./configuration.html">configuration directory</a>. This overrides values
|
||
|
|
from the built-in language configuration. For example, to disable
|
||
|
|
auto-LSP-formatting in Rust:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml"># in <config_dir>/helix/languages.toml
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[language-server.mylang-lsp]
|
||
|
|
command = "mylang-lsp"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[[language]]
|
||
|
|
name = "rust"
|
||
|
|
auto-format = false
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
<p>In a <code>.helix</code> folder in your project. Language configuration may also be
|
||
|
|
overridden local to a project by creating a <code>languages.toml</code> file in a
|
||
|
|
<code>.helix</code> folder. Its settings will be merged with the language configuration
|
||
|
|
in the configuration directory and the built-in configuration.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<h2 id="language-configuration"><a class="header" href="#language-configuration">Language configuration</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each language is configured by adding a <code>[[language]]</code> section to a
|
||
|
|
<code>languages.toml</code> file. For example:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">[[language]]

name = "mylang"
|

|
|
scope = "source.mylang"
|

injection-regex = "mylang"
|
||
|
|
file-types = ["mylang", "myl"]
|
||
|
|
comment-tokens = "#"
|
||
|
|
indent = { tab-width = 2, unit = " " }
|
||
|
|
formatter = { command = "mylang-formatter" , args = ["--stdin"] }
|
||
|
|
language-servers = [ "mylang-lsp" ]
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>

<h3 id="file-type-detection-and-the-file-types-key"><a class="header" href="#file-type-detection-and-the-file-types-key">File-type detection and the <code>file-types</code> key</a></h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Helix determines which language configuration to use based on the <code>file-types</code> key
|
||
|
|
from the above section. <code>file-types</code> is a list of strings or tables, for
|
||
|
|
example:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">file-types = ["toml", { glob = "Makefile" }, { glob = ".git/config" }, { glob = ".github/workflows/*.yaml" } ]
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>When determining a language configuration to use, Helix searches the file-types
|
||
|
|
with the following priorities:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Glob: values in <code>glob</code> tables are checked against the full path of the given
|
||
|
|
file. Globs are standard Unix-style path globs (e.g. the kind you use in Shell)
|
||
|
|
and can be used to match paths for a specific prefix, suffix, directory, etc.
|
||
|
|
In the above example, the <code>{ glob = "Makefile" }</code> config would match files
|
||
|
|
with the name <code>Makefile</code>, the <code>{ glob = ".git/config" }</code> config would match
|
||
|
|
<code>config</code> files in <code>.git</code> directories, and the <code>{ glob = ".github/workflows/*.yaml" }</code>
|
||
|
|
config would match any <code>yaml</code> files in <code>.github/workflow</code> directories. Note
|
||
|
|
that globs should always use the Unix path separator <code>/</code> even on Windows systems;
|
||
|
|
the matcher will automatically take the machine-specific separators into account.
|
||
|
|
If the glob isn't an absolute path or doesn't already start with a glob prefix,
|
||
|
|
<code>*/</code> will automatically be added to ensure it matches for any subdirectory.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Extension: if there are no glob matches, any <code>file-types</code> string that matches
|
||
|
|
the file extension of a given file wins. In the example above, the <code>"toml"</code>
|
||
|
|

<h3 id="configuring-language-servers-for-a-language"><a class="header" href="#configuring-language-servers-for-a-language">Configuring Language Servers for a language</a></h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>language-servers</code> attribute in a language tells helix which language servers are used for this language.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>They have to be defined in the <code>[language-server]</code> table as described in the previous section.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Different languages can use the same language server instance, e.g. <code>typescript-language-server</code> is used for javascript, jsx, tsx and typescript by default.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In case multiple language servers are specified in the <code>language-servers</code> attribute of a <code>language</code>,
|
||
|
|
it's often useful to only enable/disable certain language-server features for these language servers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>As an example, <code>efm-lsp-prettier</code> of the previous example is used only with a formatting command <code>prettier</code>,
|
||
|
|
so everything else should be handled by the <code>typescript-language-server</code> (which is configured by default).
|
||
|
|
The language configuration for typescript could look like this:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">[[language]]
|
||
|
|
name = "typescript"
|
||
|
|
language-servers = [ { name = "efm-lsp-prettier", only-features = [ "format" ] }, "typescript-language-server" ]
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>or equivalent:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><code class="language-toml">[[language]]
|
||
|
|
name = "typescript"
|
||
|
|
language-servers = [ { name = "typescript-language-server", except-features = [ "format" ] }, "efm-lsp-prettier" ]
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each requested LSP feature is prioritized in the order of the <code>language-servers</code> array.
|
||
|
|
For example, the first <code>goto-definition</code> supported language server (in this case <code>typescript-language-server</code>) will be taken for the relevant LSP request (command <code>goto_definition</code>).
|
||
|
|
The features <code>diagnostics</code>, <code>code-action</code>, <code>completion</code>, <code>document-symbols</code> and <code>workspace-symbols</code> are an exception to that rule, as they are working for all language servers at the same time and are merged together, if enabled for the language.
|
||
|
|
If no <code>except-features</code> or <code>only-features</code> is given, all features for the language server are enabled.
|
||
|
|
If a language server itself doesn't support a feature, the next language server array entry will be tried (and so on).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The list of supported features is:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>format</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>goto-definition</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>goto-declaration</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>goto-type-definition</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>goto-reference</code></li>
|

<li><code>goto-implementation</code></li>
