App::Monastery - Perl Language Server

App::Monastery is a language server based on the Language Server Protocol. Currently Monastery supports a subset of v3.0 of the protocol.

More can be read about what a Language Server is for at http://langserver.org but the idea is to allow editors/IDEs to support a variety of languages without needing to reimplement lang-specific features themselves or, as in most cases, not implementing them at all.

This server is very much alpha quality but it has some mildly intelligent completion options and should be easily expanded with Perl::Tidy to handle formatting and perl -c or Perl::Critic to provide more useful diagnostics to the user.

This can be installed from the repo directly or for convenience, there is a fatpacked version in author/.

# install using cpanm
cpanm -i [email protected]:ccakes/p5-app-monastery.git

# or download fatpacked script
curl -sL -o /usr/local/bin/monastery-fatpack https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ccakes/p5-app-monastery/master/author/monastery-fatpack

• Handler.pm

  This file is a mess, the $rpc->register calls need to be abstracted, ideally into a controller-type model to make adding functionality simpler.

• textDocument/publishDiagnostics

  Need to work out when best to trigger this, probably on textDocument/willSave. didChange would be nicer but a bit spammy. This should be perl -c rather as it's syntax errors.

• textDocument/rangeFormatting

• workspace/symbol + textDocument/documentSymbol

• Some tests...
