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).
You can try nixd without installation. We have tested some working & reproducible editor environments.
- Editor Setup (get basic working language server out of box)
- Configuration (see how to, and which options are tunable)
