CLI-009: Language Server Protocol (LSP) Implementation

[ajitpratap0]

Summary

Implement LSP server for IDE integration (VSCode, Vim, Emacs, Neovim, etc.).

Problem

No LSP server - can't integrate with IDEs that support LSP.

Action Items

1. Implement gosqlx lsp command

2. LSP features (following LSP spec):

   • textDocument/didOpen: Track opened SQL files
   • textDocument/didChange: Incremental parsing
   • textDocument/publishDiagnostics: Syntax errors
   • textDocument/hover: Keyword/function documentation
   • textDocument/completion: Autocomplete keywords
   • textDocument/formatting: Format SQL
   • textDocument/definition: Go to table/column definition
   • textDocument/codeAction: Quick fixes

3. Performance requirements:

   • Sub-second response time for diagnostics
   • Incremental parsing for large files
   • Low memory footprint

4. Test with major editors:

   • VSCode
   • Vim/Neovim (via coc.nvim or native LSP)
   • Emacs (via lsp-mode)
   • Sublime Text

5. Document integration for each editor

Acceptance Criteria

• LSP server implemented following specification
• Works with VSCode, Vim, Emacs, Sublime
• Sub-second response time (<1s)
• Integration guides for each editor
• Diagnostic messages helpful

Technical Details

Priority: High
Effort: Large (80h / 2-3 months)
Phase: Phase 5 - Integrations & Ecosystem
Dependencies: None

Example Usage

# Start LSP server
gosqlx lsp --stdio

# VSCode settings.json
{
  "gosqlx.lsp.enable": true,
  "gosqlx.lsp.path": "gosqlx"
}

The LSP server has been fully implemented with the following features:

Core Features Delivered

• ✅ gosqlx lsp command with stdio communication
• ✅ textDocument/didOpen - Track opened SQL files
• ✅ textDocument/didChange - Incremental document sync for performance
• ✅ textDocument/didClose - Document cleanup
• ✅ textDocument/didSave - Save event handling
• ✅ textDocument/publishDiagnostics - Real-time syntax error detection
• ✅ textDocument/hover - 40+ SQL keyword documentation with examples
• ✅ textDocument/completion - 100+ keywords, functions, and 22 SQL snippets
• ✅ textDocument/formatting - Basic SQL formatting support

Performance

• Sub-millisecond response times for all operations
• Incremental document sync (SyncIncremental) for large files
• Position extraction from error messages for accurate diagnostics

Enhancements (added in follow-up commits)

• Error notifications via window/showMessage for parse failures
• 22 SQL snippet completions (sel, seljoin, cte, merge, window, etc.)
• Enhanced error position extraction from GoSQLX error messages

Integration Examples Documented

• VSCode (settings.json)
• Neovim (nvim-lspconfig)
• Emacs (lsp-mode)

Tests

• 17 comprehensive tests covering all handlers
• Race-free implementation validated
