Add documentation for setting up Angular LSP

[Uzaaft]

I`ll work on this. Should we consider Angular as its own language(like we do vue) or should it be underneath Typescript?

[camiloaromero23]

I think it should be as it is worked with vue, as far as I know, angular has its own language server (like vue). I think it is called angularls (Correct me if I'm wrong)

[Uzaaft]

But unlike Vue Angular files are normal typescript files. Vue files have their own file extension

[camiloaromero23]

You got a point, but usually, Angular files end up with file.component.[ts,html,css]. For tests file.component.spec.ts and for the modules file.module.ts. So I think it is better to split up Angular from typescript because if I want to code in typescript itself, most of the time I don't want angularls to start. I don't think you're wrong but I also got a point

@kylo252 @abzcoding Any thoughts about the topic before I write the docs?

i'd appreciate it :) nothing else , tyvm <3

[Uzaaft]

I guess a separate section it is. Opening a PR ASAP

[Uzaaft]

Anyone who has a current config where angularls starts in an Angular project? Could not get it to start automatically with zero config beside :lspinstall angularls

[Uzaaft]

@abzcoding @camiloaromero23 Do you guys have a current confign where the angularls lsp starts in an Angular project?

sadly no 😞

[camiloaromero23]

No 😢

[Uzaaft]

@abzcoding I think I figured out why it didn't start. Could it be because the tsserver is prioritised higher than the angularls server? Or because it is overridden?

[abzcoding]

If a server is in the override list, you have to set up and call it explicitly. I don’t think there is any other priority.

Can someone provide any update on this?

[kylo252]

is it anything beyond this?

local opts = {}
require'lvim.lsp.manager'.setup("angularls", opts)

Yeah, as far as I remember it was much more than that.. even projects before Ivy were using a different version of the lsp.. vscode handles this for the user with the Angular extension. And also if I'm not mistaken a project for example with Angular 12 should also use the lsp in v12.x.x. I remember giving up on this in march of this year 😓 . But who knows.. maybe I'm just dumb haha

[olrtg]

@kylo252 can you assign this to me though? I'd like to give this a try once again.

Well.. it seem to work just with this 😅 Now, there will be probably some problems still with projects pre Ivy (< v9, released in 2020) due to this https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/issues/1155#issuecomment-900850735

About the docs.. @kylo252 should I put this documentation inside the "Languages" category? Asking because Angular is not a programming language 👀 or should I add a new "Frameworks" category and maybe move Vue with it?

here are some problems we need to address in the docs

• how about the interaction with tsserver, does it need to be disabled?
• what about css servers?
• anything useful that null-ls can provide?

this seems like a question for @ChristianChiarulli and @vonPB :)

@kylo252 tsserver should be enabled since you'll still using typescript.. AFAIK angularls gives completion for component templates, so in reality angularls will be working most of the time with the html lsp.

In terms of css Angular can use plain css, a pre-processor like SASS or something else like tailwindcss.. or what is your question?

For null-ls nothing that I know of. You can still format your code with all the tools used for regular javascript projects or use something like eslint for linting.

Since we got more than just Angular as a framework, I wouldn't mind having an additional frameworks page :)
