Features

• Language Server Protocol Integrations - Implements the Language Server Protocol to provide IDE-like intelligence and automation for the Zig language.
• Code Intelligence Providers - Functions as a backend providing autocomplete, symbol navigation, and semantic intelligence for the Zig language.
• LSP Server Implementations - Implements the Language Server Protocol via JSON-RPC to provide intelligence to various text editors.
• Code Completion - Provides real-time suggestions for symbols and expressions as the user types to accelerate development.
• Automated Code Refactoring - Performs bulk symbol renaming and applies automatic fixes to maintain a clean Zig codebase.
• Definition Navigation - Enables jumping directly from a symbol usage to its definition within the source code.
• Language Server Protocols - Communicates with text editors through the standardized Language Server Protocol to deliver tooling.
• Language Servers - Implements the Language Server Protocol to deliver IDE-like intelligence and automation for Zig.
• Static Code Analysis - Identifies compilation errors and analyzes symbol references across projects to ensure code correctness.
• Symbol Indexing - Implements symbol indexing to enable efficient navigation between definitions and call sites across the project.
• In-Process Integrations - Interfaces directly with the Zig compiler within the server process for low-latency type information retrieval.
• In-Process Runtimes - Executes compiler logic within the same process as the server to minimize metadata retrieval latency.
• Language Development Environments - Provides a development environment for Zig with autocomplete, symbol navigation, and real-time error checking.
• Compiler-Integrated Analysis - Integrates directly with the Zig compiler to resolve symbols and derive precise type information for analysis.
• Semantic Syntax Highlighting - Provides syntax highlighting based on the resolved semantic meaning and types of identifiers.
• Automated Refactoring Engines - Implements a programmatic engine for codebase-wide symbol renaming and automatic code fixes.
• Codebase Symbol References - Locates all instances where a specific symbol is used across a project to assess the impact of changes.
• Symbol Renamers - Provides project-wide symbol renaming to ensure consistent naming and referential integrity.
• Static Code Analysis Tools - Integrates with the Zig compiler to derive type information and surface compilation errors as diagnostics.
• Automated Code Fixes - Programmatically applies edits to resolve common code issues and bypass editor limitations.
• Automated Code Fix Suggestions - Proposes quick fixes and refactorings at specific code locations to resolve errors or improve quality.
• Inlay Hints - Displays inline text hints in the editor to reveal inferred types and parameter names.
• Source Code Formatters - Implements a standard formatter to adjust code indentation and style for project consistency.
• Hover Information Displays - Displays type information and documentation for symbols via inline popups on mouse hover.
• Syntax Highlighting & Indentation - Provides semantic syntax highlighting and automatic indentation to improve source code readability.
• Build Automation - Triggers project compilation on save and manages target architectures and dependency fetching.
• Zig Language Environments - Provides utilities for managing Zig project builds, dependency fetching, and environment installation.
• Build-Triggered Diagnostics - Triggers project compilation upon saving files to surface compiler errors as real-time editor diagnostics.
