Neovim for Beginners —Common Language Servers
We configured the jsonls language server and the plugin for the JSON Schema Store. This article will walk through the configuration of other language servers for commonly used tools and utilities.
This article is part of the Neovim for Beginners series.
The Neovim configuration files can be found in this repository.
Docker
Most developers should be familiar with Docker and how to create a Dockerfile. Let’s install the Docker language server to help us write Dockerfile.
In the lua/config/lsp/init.lua file, add the line for the dockerls language server.
local servers = {
...
dockerls = {},
...
}Once we restart Neovim, the nvim-lsp-installer plugin will install the Docker language server automatically. The automated installation is configured in the lua/config/lsp/installer.lua file.
Alternatively, we can use the :LspInstallInfo command to manually install the language server.
