The Nickel Language Server (NLS) is a language server for the Nickel programming language. NLS offers error messages, type hints, and auto-completion right in your favorite LSP-enabled editor.
NLS is a stand-alone binary. Once built, you must then configure you code editor to use it for Nickel source files. This document covers building NLS and using it in VSCode, (Neo)Vim and Emacs.
Formatting in nls
is currently based on
topiary.
To enable formatting in NLS, you have to make the topiary
executable available
in your PATH
. Please follow Topiary's setup
instructions and ensure in
particular that the environment variable TOPIARY_LANGUAGE_DIR
is correctly set
(this is covered in the setup instructions).
