## Installation
The server can be installed via `cargo` (or from source).
```sh
cargo install beancount-langserver-server
```
Then, you should be able to run the language server with the following command:
```sh
beancount-langserver --stdio
```
Follow the instructions below to integrate the language server into your editor.
### Alternative: Compile and install from source
First, clone this repo and compile it.
```sh
git clone git@github.com/polarmutex/beancount-langserver.git
cd beancount-langserver
cargo build
```
## Requirements
You will need to install `beancount` to get all diagnostics.
```sh
pip install -g beancount
```
## Configuration
TODO

### Future
* updated vscode extension to use the rust version
## Editor Support
### Neovim
The settings for the language server are in the lspconfig repo
1. Install the beancount language server
```sh
cargo install beancount-language-server
```
However you install it, you need to remember how to access the binary
2. Create a lua lspconfig for the beancount LSP [example in my dotfiles](https://github.com/polarmutex/dotfiles/blob/master/neovim/lua/polarmutex/lsp/beancount.lua)
* add the following code to your lspconfig
```lua
local lspconfig = require 'lspconfig'
lspconfig.beancount.setup= {
init_options = {
journal_file = "<path to journal file>",
};
};
```
3. Open a beancount file and verify LSP connected with the LSPInfo command
#### Troubleshooting
#### beancount file type not detected
If you notice beancount files not having the "beancount" type, you need a
neovim v0.5 or master built after Feb 17, 2021
If not the following in a file named `beancount.vim` in the `ftdetect` folder
```vim
function! s:setf(filetype) abort
if &filetype !=# a:filetype
let &filetype = a:filetype
endif
endfunction
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.bean,*.beancount call s:setf('beancount')
```
### VS Code
