PureScript language server
Node-based Language Server Protocol server for PureScript based on the PureScript IDE server
(aka psc-ide / purs ide server
). Used as the vscode plugin
backend but should be compatible with other Language Server Client implementations.
The language server is a wrapper around the IDE server included as part of the compiler distribution,
providing editing assistance and build features according to support available. This means that
the server will start its own purs ide server
instance to talk to for the project directory it is started
in.
Features
- Completion provider
- Definition provider
- Formatting provider
- Document & workspace symbol providers
- Hover provider

purs compile
/ configured build command) - provides diagnostics - Case split
- Add clause
- Replace suggestion

Usage
This LSP implmementation is consumed by vscode and Atom plugins as a node module, and bundled along with those plugins.
To use with another LSP client, you will want to install this either globally or locally for npm
, e.g.
npm i -g purescript-language-server
And then use the resulting executable, e.g. purescript-language-server --stdio
.
This language server is based on vscode-languageserver-node which means it should support --stdio
, --socket=[number]
, --node-ipc
or --pipe
methods of communication, see vscode-languageserver-node for details.
Version support policy
PureScript compiler version support is as follows:
- The current minor version of the compiler is supported at all patch versions (e.g. 0.14.xx)
- The previous minor version of the compiler is supported at the latest patch version (e.g. 0.13.8) for new functionality, and where possible all patch versions for existing functionality
- Any older compiler versions are not officially supported - they may continue to work and will not be intentionally broken, but no particular effort will be made for continued support in the face of API changes
Formatting provider
The purescript-language-server
comes with support for formatting PureScript code via several external tools, exposed as a standard LSP formatting provider. When a formatting operation is requested, purescript-language-server
will attempt to find the configured tool via its standard name in your $PATH
(or the local npm
install path if purescript.addNpmPath
is set).
The formatting tool is selected via purescript.formatter
, with the following options
- No formatter - simply leave the setting unset or empty (default)
purs-tidy
(or simplytidy
). If you do not have any existing preferences this would be the suggested pick.pose
purty
VSCode
Atom
Use atom-ide-purescript.
Neovim’s built-in language server + nvim-lspconfig
As of 0.5.0
, Neovim has a built-in language server client. A popular plugin to help with configuring this server is nvim-lspconfig
. This plugin includes purescriptls
which will automatically find and root the language server as well as connect PSCIDE, etc. (for more info, read the config). To use, add this to your init.lua
or inside a EOF << lua … EOF
block in your init.vim
.
nvim_lsp.purescriptls.setup {
" Your personal on_attach function referenced before to include
" keymaps & other ls options
on_attach = on_attach,
settings = {
purescript = {
addSpagoSources = true -- e.g. any purescript language-server config here
}
},
flags = {
debounce_text_changes = 150,
}
}
Vim/LSP
Auto configuration with vim-lsp-settings
Vim/CoC
Configuration with coc.nvim
Run :CocConfig
and add "purescript"
in the "languageserver"
section as follows:
"languageserver": {
"purescript": {
"command": "purescript-language-server",
"args": ["--stdio"],
"filetypes": ["purescript"],
"trace.server": "off",
"rootPatterns": ["bower.json", "psc-package.json", "spago.dhall"],
"settings": {
"purescript": {
"addSpagoSources": true,
"addNpmPath": true, // Set to true if using a local purty install for formatting
"formatter": "purs-tidy"
// etc
}
}
}
}
CoC can be configured to format your code using the purescript-language-server
's formatting provider, which is backed by purty
. If you don't have CoC-based code formatting setup in CoC already, you can add a command or key mapping like this:
command! -nargs=0 Format :call CocAction('format')
nmap <leader>f :Format<cr>
If you want the formatter to run on save, run :CocConfig
and add "purescript"
to the "coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes"
:
"coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes": [
// ...other languages
"purescript"
]
You can also organize PureScript imports in Vim with a command and/or key mapping like this:
command! -nargs=0 OrganizeImports :call CocAction('runCommand', 'editor.action.organizeImport')
nmap <leader>o :OrganizeImports<cr>
Vim/LanguageClient_neovim
Use vimmer-ps.
Other clients
Config may be supplied via client-push on startup (workspace.didChangeConfiguration
), server-request (workspace.configuration
), or at last resort by JSON object on the command line with --config
option.
Config
See config defined in vscode plugin.
Usage with alternate backends
When using the language server together with alternate backends, the only requirement is to stop purs ide server
from attempting to generate JS when rebuilding, this is done via the config
"purescript.codegenTargets": [ "corefn" ]
(and you should make sure the build command is in accordance with that, if used, eg specify backend
in spago
config).
Commands
Various commands are provided. Some are triggered via completion etc, some must be called explicitly from a LSP client.
purescript.build
No arguments. Provides diagnostics.
purescript.startPscIde
No arguments. Start IDE server according to configuration.
purescript.stopPscIde
No arguments. Stop running IDE server.
purescript.restartPscIde
No arguments. Stop any running IDE server then start a new one according to configuration.

code action triggered in the VS Code UI)

of chosen replacement option
Development
To develop (rather than use) this language server
- Clone this repo and
npm install
- Make changes and
npm run build
- Ensure the built module is picked up by your editor
For 3, if the editor integrates using the node module rather than standalone binary, I suggest using npm link
- this will work for atom and vscode at least.
For atom, clone atom-ide-purescript
and:
- In
purescript-language-server
runnpm link
, inatom-ide-purescript
runnpm link purescript-language-server
- In
atom-ide-purescript
runapm link
to pick up local changes - In
atom-ide-purescript
, runnpm run bundle
to build the plugin itself - Reload any atom window to pick up changes
For vscode, clone vscode-ide-purescript
and:
- Run
npm install
- In
purescript-language-server
runnpm link
, invscode-ide-purescript
runnpm link purescript-language-server
- Open
vscode-ide-purescript
in vscode (code .
) and hit F5 to "launch extension" - Use the newly launched Extension Development Host to test language server changes
See vscode plugin repo, atom plugin. Common code via purescript-ide-purescript-core.
