Configuration

Language server configuration(all fields are optional)

{ "templates": "./TEMPLATES_DIR", "backend": ["./BACKEND_DIR"], "lang": "rust"}

Helix configuration

[language-server.jinja-lsp]
command = "jinja-lsp"
config = { templates = "./templates", backend = ["./src"], lang = "rust"}
timeout = 5

[[language]]
name = "jinja"
language-servers = ["jinja-lsp"]

Neovim configuration

init.lua, I use kickstarter.nvim, it uses Mason.nvim for installing language servers.


-- if you want to debug
vim.lsp.set_log_level("debug")


require('lazy').setup(
  -- your other configs
  {
    -- Main LSP Configuration
    'neovim/nvim-lspconfig',
    dependencies = {
      -- dependencies
    },
    config = function() {
      -- keybindings etc.

      vim.filetype.add {
        extension = {
          jinja = 'jinja',
          jinja2 = 'jinja',
          j2 = 'jinja',
          py = 'python'
        },
      }
      local servers = {
        jinja_lsp = {
          filetypes = { 'jinja', 'rust', 'python' },
        },
        -- other servers        
      }
    end
  }
)

Adding custom template extensions:

template_extensions = ["j2", "tex"]

You can also write configuration in: pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, jinja-lsp.toml.

Python

[tool.jinja-lsp]
templates = "./templates"
backend = ["./src"]

Rust

[metadata.jinja-lsp]
templates = "./templates"
backend = ["./src"]
