# swank-client

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/neil-lindquist/swank-client.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/neil-lindquist/swank-client)

This is an implementation of a Swank client in Javascript, intended for communicating with running Common Lisp processes running a swank server, just like SLIME in Emacs.

Swank-client forms a core part of the [SLIMA](https://atom.io/packages/SLIMA) package for the Atom text editor.

This package was forked from [Steve Levine's swank-client-js](https://github.com/sjlevine/swank-client-js) due to maintenance issues.

If you are interested in using this library, please let me know.

Currently, the only user is the [SLIMA](https://atom.io/packages/SLIMA) package for Atom, so the documentation is pretty minimal.

This library provides an editor/view-independent API for making the following queries to a Swank server:

- Evaluating arbitrary Lisp expressions and files

- Retrieving auto documentation

- Controlling a debugger

- Autocompletion requests

- Object inspection requests

- Profiling functions

- Accessing compiler notes

- Macroexpansion requests

See `test.js` for an example use case.
