nixd
Nix language server
## About
This is a feature-rich nix language server interoperating with C++ nix.
Some notable features provided by linking with the Nix library include:
- Nixpkgs option support, for all option system (NixOS/home-manager/flake-parts).
- Nixpkgs package complete, lazily evaluated.
- Shared eval caches (flake, file) with your system's Nix.
- Support for cross-file analysis (goto definition to locations in nixpkgs).
## Get Started
You can *try nixd without installation*.
We have tested some working & reproducible [editor environments](/nixd/docs/editors/editors.md).
