# fennel-ls
A language server for Fennel.
Supports Go-to-definition, and a little bit of completion suggestions.
Fennel-LS uses static analysis, and does not execute your code.
[Source](https://git.sr.ht/~xerool/fennel-ls) | [Issues](https://todo.sr.ht/~xerool/fennel-ls) | [Mailing List](https://lists.sr.ht/~xerool/fennel-ls)
Provides intelligent editing features for fennel files.
## Installation
### fennel-ls Language Server Binary
On Linux or Mac OS,
```sh
$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~xerool/fennel-ls
$ cd fennel-ls
$ make
```
will create a bleeding-edge latest git `fennel-ls` binary for you.
#### Arch Linux
I think `fennel-ls` and `fennel-ls-git` is in the AUR.
#### Luarocks
`fennel-ls` is available in LuaRocks.
```sh
luarocks install fennel-ls
```
#### NixOS
If you are using NixOS, you can use the included `/flake.nix` or `/default.nix`.
### Emacs
prerequisites: You have installed the [fennel-ls binary](#fennel-ls-language-server-binary).
For Emacs 30+, eglot will use fennel-ls automatically if its on the $PATH.
For older versions:
```lisp
(with-eval-after-load 'eglot
(add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs '(fennel-mode . ("fennel-ls"))))
```
This code tells eglot to connect fennel-ls to your fennel-mode buffers.
### Neovim
prerequisites: You have installed the [fennel-ls binary](#fennel-ls-language-server-binary).
If you're using neovim+lspconfig, use this snippet:
```lua
require("lspconfig").fennel_ls.setup()
```
If you're also using mason and you want to install fennel-ls that way, you can
use mason-lspconfig to ensure fennel-ls is installed:
```lua
require("mason-lspconfig").setup {
ensure_installed = {"fennel_ls"}
}
```
### Other editors
It should be possible to set up for other text editors, but the instructions
depend on which editor you use. Generally you need to tell your editor:
* "fennel-ls" is a language server program on the $PATH
* it should be run for fennel files.
## Usage
You can ask fennel-ls to **treat your file as a macro file** if the first line
exactly matches `;; fennel-ls: macro-file`. Expect this to change at some point
in the future when I come up with a better way to specify which files are meant
to be macro files.

## Installation
I recommend building from source. I promise it's really easy! You need to have `make` and `lua` (5.1+). Every other dependency is included. See the License section at the bottom of this file for more info on the bundled dependencies.
### Make (writes the file `/usr/local/bin/fennel-ls`)
## CLI Usage
```sh
make && sudo make install
```
### Make (writes the file `$HOME/bin/fennel-ls`)
```sh
make install PREFIX=$HOME
```
### Make (writes the file `./fennel-ls`)
```sh
make
```
### NixOS
If you are using NixOS, you can use the included `/flake.nix` or `/default.nix`.
### LuaRocks
I recommend just using `make` if possible, but if not, `fennel-ls` can be built with LuaRocks.
```sh
luarocks install fennel-ls --tree /path/to/your/new/luarocks/tree
```
## Usage
Once you've installed the binary somewhere on your computer, the next step is to set up your text editor! Each editor has a different way of doing it.
If you are using vim+lspconfig, it is pretty simple:
```lua
require('lspconfig').fennel_ls.setup()
```
For Emacs 30+, eglot will use fennel-ls automatically. For older versions:
```lisp
(with-eval-after-load 'eglot
(add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs '(fennel-mode . ("fennel-ls"))))
```
It should be possible to set up for other text editors, but the instructions depend on which editor you use.
Generally you need to give this information to your editor:
* "fennel-ls" is a language server program on the $PATH
* it should be run for .fnl files.
## Usage
You can gather diagnostics without connecting your editor:
```sh
fennel-ls --check my-file.fnl f2.fnl # prints diagnostics for the files given
fennel-ls --lint my-file.fnl f2.fnl # prints diagnostics for the files given
```
This will analyze the given files, and print out all compiler errors and lints.
# Default Settings
fennel-ls can be configured over LSP. Any setting that's not provided will be filled in with the defaults, which means that `{}` will be a valid configuration with default settings. You can provide different settings in the same shape as the default settings in order to override the defaults.

Your editor can send these settings using one of these two methods:
* The client sends an `initialize` request with the structure `{initializationOptions: {"fennel-ls": {...}}, ...}`
* The client sends a `workspace/didChangeConfiguration` notfication containing the field `{settings: {"fennel-ls": {YOUR_SETTINGS}}}`
## Adding a lint
You can't load external lint rules with fennel-ls, but I would love to receive patches that add new lint rules!
