APL Language Server Client

This extension implements the client for an APL Language Server. The server is embedded with the extension, but has its own repository on APL Language Server. Please report issues or feature requests to that project.

The language server requires a copy of Dyalog v17.0. Get your copy on Download Dyalog.

Features

This Language Server works for apl files. It has the following language features:

Tool tips on primitives

Prefix completion

Prefix completion to simplify typing APL primitives without an IME.

Configuration

This extension has the configuration options listed below:

{
    "apl.server.executablePath": "dyalog.exe",
    "apl.server.maxWS": "4G",
    "apl.server.prefixCompleteCharacters": "`",
    "apl.server.wsPath": "/my/own/apl-language-server.dws"
}

The language server requires a copy of Dyalog v17.0. You can provide a path to the executable in apl.server.executablePath to ensure the correct version of Dyalog is used (if you have more than one).

You control the memory limit of the language server by setting apl.server.maxWS to a number followed by [M|G] (eg. 256M).

To change the character(s) used for prefix completion, set the apl.server.prefixCompleteCharacters to one or more characters.

The extension comes with an embedded copy of the APL Language Server. You can download a copy of the language server and then set the path to the dws in apl.server.wsPath to make use of an external language server.
