Strawman roadmap about metals HOT 8 CLOSED

Those are really good suggestions @laughedelic! We've just got the ball rolling and it's very promising. We'll see where this take us :)

autocomplection - I have seen IDEs help complect code before but I'm not sure it's a feature we should enable.

from metals.

I was just being silly. To be more helpful, regarding the original bullet point:
/s/autocomplection/autocompletion

from metals.

To me, autocompletion, textDocument/definition and textDocument/rename are the killer features. I'm glad you're working on this @gabro, I think a hybrid of the presentation compiler and semanticdb can be a very interesting avenue to explore to provide people with better tooling.

I agree @jvican! Those would finally give any editor a great Scala experience without the burden of a full-fledged IDE.

definition and rename are definitely within reach using scalameta and scalafix respectively.
For autocompletion, I've zero experience on how the presentation compiler works, but I hope that will change soon :D

Hi! I just discovered this project and I'm really glad that it already exists! 👏 I was thinking how to use scalameta for creating a Scala language server, but I don't know almost anything about it and it would take me a lot of time to start and make anything working..

Here are some more LSP requests that, I think, could be in reach of SemanticAPI:

• textDocument/hover to show type information on hover
• textDocument/signatureHelp to show method/constructor signature when filling its parameters
• textDocument/references to find project-wide references for the given symbol. I guess, once you have workspace/symbol, it should be easy.
• textDocument/documentHighlight similar to references, but local to the document (docs also say it's more "fuzzy")
• textDocument/codeAction to apply scalafixes?

  The code action request is sent from the client to the server to compute commands for a given text document and range. These commands are typically code fixes to either fix problems or to beautify/refactor code.

@ShaneDelmore you mean snippets?

I think the roadmap we have in the README is comprehensive enough. Closing.
