Struct LspClient 

pub struct LspClient { /* private fields */ }

Client for connecting to a running LspDaemon over a Unix domain socket.

LspClient is the primary entry point for consumers of this crate. Call connect with a workspace root and language – the client will auto-spawn a daemon process if one isn’t already running, then send an Initialize handshake.

Connection lifecycle

connect(workspace_root, language)
  → auto-spawn daemon if needed
  → Initialize handshake
  → ready for LSP requests
  → disconnect()

LSP requests

All requests are forwarded to the underlying language server through the daemon. Each method accepts the same parameters as the corresponding LSP protocol method:

• goto_definition – Jump to a symbol’s definition.
• find_references – Find all references to a symbol.
• hover – Get hover information (type signature, docs).
• document_symbol – List all symbols in a document.
• rename – Rename a symbol across the workspace.

Diagnostics

• get_diagnostics – Retrieve cached diagnostics for a file (or all files if uri is None).
• queue_diagnostic_refresh – Ask the daemon to re-check a file and update its diagnostics cache.

Generic requests

call sends an arbitrary LSP method with typed parameters and response. Use this for LSP methods that don’t have a dedicated wrapper.

Example

use aether_lspd::{LspClient, LanguageId, path_to_uri};
use std::path::Path;

let client = LspClient::connect(
    Path::new("/home/user/my-project"),
    LanguageId::Rust,
).await?;

let uri = path_to_uri(Path::new("/home/user/my-project/src/main.rs")).unwrap();
let hover = client.hover(uri, 10, 5).await?;

client.disconnect().await?;

Trait Implementations

impl Drop for LspClient

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.
