Installation

go install github.com/mattn/efm-langserver@latest

or via Homebrew:

brew install efm-langserver

Usage

Usage of efm-langserver:
  -c string
        path to config.yaml
  -d    dump configuration
  -logfile string
        logfile
  -loglevel int
        loglevel (default 1)
  -q    Run quieter
  -v    Print the version

Configuration

Configuration can be done with either a config.yaml file, or through a DidChangeConfiguration notification from the client. DidChangeConfiguration can be called any time and will overwrite only provided properties.

DidChangeConfiguration only supports V2 configuration and cannot set LogFile.

efm-langserver does not include formatters/linters for any languages, you must install these manually, e.g.

• lua: LuaFormatter
• python: yapf isort
• vint for Vim script
• markdownlint-cli for Markdown
• etc...

InitializeParams

Because the configuration can be updated on the fly, capabilities might change throughout the lifetime of the server. To enable support for capabilities that will be available later, set them in the InitializeParams

Example

{
    "initializationOptions": {
        "documentFormatting": true,
        "documentRangeFormatting": true,
        "hover": true,
        "documentSymbol": true,
        "codeAction": true,
        "completion": true
    }
}

Example for config.yaml

Location of config.yaml is:

• UNIX: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/efm-langserver/config.yaml or $HOME/.config/efm-langserver/config.yaml
• Windows: %APPDATA%\efm-langserver\config.yaml

Below is example for config.yaml for Windows. Please see schema.md for full documentation of the available options.

Example for DidChangeConfiguration notification

{
    "settings": {
        "rootMarkers": [".git/"],
        "languages": {
            "lua": {
                "formatCommand": "lua-format -i",
                "formatStdin": true
            }
        }
    }
}

Client Setup

Configuration for vim-lsp

augroup LspEFM
  au!
  autocmd User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
      \ 'name': 'efm-langserver',
      \ 'cmd': {server_info->['efm-langserver', '-c=/path/to/your/config.yaml']},
      \ 'allowlist': ['vim', 'eruby', 'markdown', 'yaml'],
      \ })
augroup END

vim-lsp-settings provide installer for efm-langserver.

Configuration for coc.nvim

coc-settings.json

  // languageserver
  "languageserver": {
    "efm": {
      "command": "efm-langserver",
      "args": [],
      // custom config path
      // "args": ["-c", "/path/to/your/config.yaml"],
      "filetypes": ["vim", "eruby", "markdown", "yaml"]
    }
  },

Configuration for Eglot (Emacs)

Add to eglot-server-programs with major mode you want.

(with-eval-after-load 'eglot
  (add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs
    `(markdown-mode . ("efm-langserver"))))

Configuration for neovim builtin LSP with nvim-lspconfig

Neovim's built-in LSP client sends DidChangeConfiguration, so config.yaml is optional.

init.lua example (settings follows schema.md):

require "lspconfig".efm.setup {
    init_options = {documentFormatting = true},
    settings = {
        rootMarkers = {".git/"},
        languages = {
            lua = {
                {formatCommand = "lua-format -i", formatStdin = true}
            }
        }
    }
}

You can get premade tool definitions from creativenull/efmls-configs-nvim:

lua = {
  require('efmls-configs.linters.luacheck'),
  require('efmls-configs.formatters.stylua'),
}

If you define your own, make sure to define as table:

lua = {
    {formatCommand = "lua-format -i", formatStdin = true}
}
-- NOT
lua = {
    formatCommand = "lua-format -i", formatStdin = true
}

-- and for multiple formatters, add to the table
lua = {
    {formatCommand = "lua-format -i", formatStdin = true},
    {formatCommand = "lua-pretty -i"}
}

Configuration for Helix

~/.config/helix/languages.toml

[language-server.efm]
command = "efm-langserver"

[[language]]
name = "typescript"
language-servers = [
  { name = "efm", only-features = [ "diagnostics", "format" ] },
  { name = "typescript-language-server", except-features = [ "format" ] }
]

Configuration for VSCode

Generic LSP Client for VSCode

Example settings.json (change to fit your local installs):

{
  "glspc.languageId": "lua",
  "glspc.serverCommand": "/Users/me/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/efm-langserver",
  "glspc.pathPrepend": "/Users/me/.local/share/rtx/installs/python/3.11.4/bin:/Users/me/.local/share/rtx/installs/node/20.3.1/bin",
}
