== Elixir LS == [[File:Elixir_Logo.png|thumb|right|300px|Elixir LS]] '''Elixir LS''' (short for Elixir Language Server) is a language server implementation for the Elixir programming language. It is designed to provide enhanced code editing capabilities, such as code completion, diagnostics, and refactoring support, within integrated development environments (IDEs) and code editors. === Overview === Elixir LS is built using the Language Server Protocol (LSP), a standardized protocol for enabling communication between an IDE or code editor and a language server. By adhering to this protocol, Elixir LS makes it easier for different editors to leverage the same language server capabilities, promoting a consistent development experience across multiple environments. With Elixir LS, developers can benefit from features like intelligent code completion, which suggests relevant code snippets and functions based on the context and type information. The server also provides instant feedback on syntax errors, potential bugs, and other code-related issues, helping developers catch mistakes early in the development process. === Features === Elixir LS offers a rich set of features aimed at improving the developer's productivity. Some notable features include: * '''Code Completion''': Elixir LS provides intelligent code completion assistance, suggesting relevant code snippets, variable names, module functions, and other code elements. * '''Documentation Lookup''': By leveraging the language's inline documentation and type specifications, Elixir LS allows developers to access documentation on functions, modules, and types without leaving their code editor. * '''Diagnostics''': Elixir LS performs static analysis on the code, highlighting potential errors, warnings, and code smells. This feature helps developers identify and address issues before running the code. * '''Refactoring Support''': Elixir LS provides refactoring capabilities to simplify code maintenance and improve code quality. It supports common refactoring operations like renaming, extracting functions, and organizing imports. * '''Project Navigation''': Elixir LS facilitates jumping to definitions and finding references within a project. This feature streamlines code navigation and helps developers understand the codebase more efficiently. === Supported Editors === Elixir LS is compatible with various popular IDEs and code editors, including: * [[VSCode]]: A powerful editor with built-in support for Elixir LS and the language server protocol. * [[Atom]]: An extensible text editor that can leverage Elixir LS functionality through the appropriate plugins. * [[Sublime Text]]: A sophisticated code editor with Elixir LS integration available via dedicated packages. * [[Emacs]]: A highly configurable text editor that provides Elixir LS support through specific modes and plugins. === Installation and Configuration === To install and configure Elixir LS for a specific editor, refer to the editor's documentation and the Elixir LS project repository for step-by-step instructions tailored to your environment. === Conclusion === Elixir LS is a powerful language server implementation for the Elixir programming language, offering advanced code editing features to enhance the developer's productivity. By leveraging the Language Server Protocol, Elixir LS promotes consistency across different IDEs and code editors, allowing developers to focus on writing high-quality code without worrying about tooling specifics. === References === [https://elixir-lang.org Official Elixir Programming Language Website] [https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls Elixir LS GitHub Repository]
