hoon-language-server

Earth-side component of a language server for Hoon. Enables two-way communication between supported text editors and the language-server agent on an urbit ship.

Installation

npm

npm install -g @urbit/hoon-language-server

nix

nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; callPackage ./default.nix {}'
nix-env -i ./result

Running

NOTE: Usually your editor will handle this, you just need to set the correct parameters in your editor configuration.

hoon-language-server -p 80 -d 0 -u http://localhost -s zod -c lidlut-tabwed-pillex-ridrup

Configuration

-p: HTTP port of your (running) ship
-d: didSave event delay
-u: ship url
-s: @p of ship (without a sig)
-c: +code of ship (without a sig)

Urbit Setup

You must have an urbit ship running (can be a livenet ship) with the language-server agent started. To create and start a fake ~zod:

urbit -F zod -c zod

In the urbit dojo, start the language server:

dojo> |start %language-server

get the +code

dojo> +code

To start the same ship again in the future just run:

urbit zod

in the same directory it was created in.

Editor Setup

Your code editor now needs to use hoon-language-server as an LSP provider. Supported plugins:

VSCode

Emacs

hoon-mode.el

Vim

hoon.vim

hoon.vim does not use the language server itself, but the github page describes a setup using vim-lsp.

Neovim

Neovim users should use hoon.vim with one of the following LSP setups:

Native LSP

Install nvim-lspconfig. To use the default configuration, add the following to init.lua:

require'lspconfig'.hoon_ls.setup{}

To modify the default options use:

require'lspconfig'.hoon_ls.setup{
  cmd = {"hoon-language-server", "-p", "8080"}
}

You can include lua snippets in your init.vim like so:

lua << EOF
require'lspconfig'.hoon_ls.setup{}
EOF

coc.nvim

Install and configure coc.nvim, then add a languageserver entry to ~/.config/nvim/coc-settings.json:

{
  "languageserver": {
    "hoon-language-server": {
      "command": "hoon-language-server",
      "args": ["-p", "8080"],
      "filetypes": ["hoon"]
    }
  }
}
