# Nim Sight 👀
> Get insight with NimSight
Nim language server based around `nim check`. Has 70% less features and stability compared to other nim LSP solutions.
I first started programming Nim using [micro](https://github.com/zyedidia/micro) which just had a linter for Nim which I found helpful enough so I wanted that same experiences in my other editors. Doesn't support auto-complete and likely never will unless [the --suggest option starts working](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/4f5c0efaf24e863b26b16d7998eac3bdd830e7be/compiler/commands.nim#L1004)
Tested with Kate and helix, semi tested with NeoVim (I run the test suite
with it, but personally dont use it)
### Features
This is the list of features that are supported/will eventually be supported
- [x] Show errors/warnings
- [x] Show outline of document
- [x] Basic fixes for some errors
- [x] Nimble and nimscript files
- [ ] Go-to symbol definition (The code is there, but it basically never works)
- [ ] Find usages
- [ ] Rename symbol
- [ ] Code lens (Nimble tasks, run tests)
### Usage
#### Kate
Add this into the list of LSP servers
```json
{
"nim": {
"command": ["nimsight"],
"path": ["%{ENV:HOME}/.nimble/bin", "%{ENV:USERPROFILE}/.nimble/bin"],
"rootIndicationFilePatterns": ["*.nimble", "config.nims"],
"url": "https://github.com/ire4ever1190/nimsight",
"highlightingModeRegex": "Nim"
}
}
```
### Developing
Code is broken into two main sections
- `src/nimsight.nim`: Main entry point, registers all the handlers
- `src/nimsight/`: Contains code for Nim related stuff
- `src/nimsight/sdk`: Contains an SDK for interacting with language servers. Can be used outside of this
