PHP Language Server Protocol Generator
======================================

[](#php-language-server-protocol-generator)

[![CI](https://github.com/phpactor/language-server-protocol/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/phpactor/language-server-protocol/workflows/CI/badge.svg)

This package *transpiles* the `vscode-language-server-protocol` library to PHP, providing the protocol classes required to create Language Server with PHP.

Notes on using the library
--------------------------

[](#notes-on-using-the-library)

Most (if not all) of the upstream Typescript types have no constructors, therefore the argument order of the constructors can change on *every release*.

It is therefore **strongly recommended** to use named arguments.

Generation
----------

[](#generation)

Generating the code:

- `npm run generate`: Build and transpile
- `npm run watch`: Watch and compile on Typescript changes.

Running the PHP tests:

- `composer integrate`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Deserialization

[](#deserialization)

This library will use the type information form typescript to generate `fromArray` static constructors for each type:

```
$item = CompletionItem::fromArray([
    'label' => 'Foobar',
    'kind' => 1,
    'detail' => 'This is foobar',
    'documentation' => [
        'kind' => 'markdown',
        'value' => 'Foobar',
    ],
    'additionalTextEdits' => [
        [
            'range' => [
                'start' => [
                    'line' => 5,
                    'character' => 10,
                ],
                'end' => [
                    'line' => 10,
                    'character' => 10,
                ],
            ],
            'newText' => 'Foobar',
        ],
    ],
    'command' => [
        'title' => 'Foobar',
        'command' => 'my.command',
    ],
]);

```

Will return a fully hydrated completion item with concrete sub-types.

**NOTE**: that when deserializing from a language server client request, it is probably a good idea to ignore additional parameters (the second argument to `fromArray`). This is because it is perfectly valid to pass unknown properties to some of the LSP objects.

### Serialization

[](#serialization)

Properties in classes are public to enable JSON serialization. Call `json_encode($lspObject)` to get the valid LSP JSON object.
