Rust support for coc.nvim

It's fork of rls-vscode.

Adds language support for Rust to coc.nvim. Supports:

• code completion
• jump to definition, peek definition, find all references, symbol search
• types and documentation on hover
• code formatting
• refactoring (rename, deglob)
• error squiggles and apply suggestions from errors
• snippets

Rust support is powered by the Rust Language Server (RLS). If you don't have it installed, the extension will install it for you.

For support, please file an issue on the repo or talk to us on Gitter or in #rust-dev-tools on IRC (Mozilla servers). There is also some troubleshooting and debugging advice.

Note: multiple projects is not supported, you have to use different vim instances.

Quick start

• Install rustup (Rust toolchain manager).

• Install rust toolchain components.

  rustup component add rls rust-analysis rust-src

• Install this extension in your vim by:

  :CocInstall coc-rls

• (Skip this step if you already have Rust projects that you'd like to work on.) Create a new Rust project by following these instructions.

• Open a Rust project. Open the folder for the whole project (i.e., the folder containing 'Cargo.toml'), not the 'src' folder.

• You'll be prompted to install the RLS. Once installed, the RLS should start building your project.

NixOS

NixOS users should use nix-shell or direnv for development. Follow these instructions to set them up first.

Then create two files:

1. An .envrc file containing use_nix.
2. Add "rust-client.disableRustup": true to coc-settings.json
3. And shell.nix containing:

let
  moz_overlay = import (builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/archive/master.tar.gz);
  nixpkgs = import <nixpkgs> { overlays = [ moz_overlay ]; };
  #rustNightlyChannel = (nixpkgs.rustChannelOf { date = "2019-01-26"; channel = "nightly"; }).rust;
  rustStableChannel = nixpkgs.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust.override {
    extensions = [
      "rust-src"
      "rls-preview"
      "clippy-preview"
      "rustfmt-preview"
    ];
  };
in
  with nixpkgs;
  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "moz_overlay_shell";
    buildInputs = [
      rustStableChannel
      rls
      rustup
    ];
  }

Enter the shell in current directory and enjoy developing rust apps + coc.nvim + coc-rls :)

Tip: If you want to use nightly channel uncomment that line and use it :)

Configuration

This extension provides some options into coc-settings.json. These options have names which start with rust.. Install coc-json for auto completion support.

• "rust-client.enable":

  When set to true, enables this extension. Requires reloading extension after change., default: true

Features

Snippets

Snippets are code templates which expand into common boilerplate. Intellisense includes snippet names as options when you type; select one by confirm the completion. You can move to the next 'hole' in the template by pressing '' (by default). We provide the following snippets:

• for - a for loop
• unimplemented
• unreachable
• println
• assert and assert_eq
• macro_rules - declare a macro
• if let Option - an if let statement for executing code only in the Some case.
• spawn - spawn a thread
• extern crate - insert an extern crate statement

This extension is deliberately conservative about snippets and doesn't include too many. If you want more, check out Trusty Rusty Snippets.

Format on save

To enable formatting on save, open coc-settings.json by :CocConfig, then add "rust" to coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes field.

Requirements

• Unless you have "rust-client.disableRustup": true, install Rustup required.
• A Rust toolchain (the extension will configure this for you, with permission),
• RLS (currently rls-preview), rust-src, and rust-analysis components (the extension will install these for you, with permission).

Implementation

This extension almost exclusively uses the RLS for its feature support (snippets are provided client-side). The RLS uses the Rust compiler (rustc) to get data about Rust programs. It uses Cargo to manage building. Both Cargo and rustc are run in-process by the RLS. Formatting and code completion are provided by rustfmt and Racer, again both of these are run in-process by the RLS.
