mo-ide ·

The official Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for Motoko.

mo-ide exists for developers interested in using features from the Motoko VS Code extension in an IDE without official Motoko language support.

Setup

Ensure that Node.js is installed on your system, and run the following command:

npm install -g mo-ide

This will add the mo-ide command to your path, which you can then use in your supported IDE of choice.

If you are looking for a standalone distribution, please reach out and we will make this a priority.

Getting Started

IDE-specific setup instructions are currently a work in progress.

Advanced Usage

Start the language server using the following commands:

mo-ide --stdio # standard I/O transport (when in doubt, try this option)

mo-ide --node-ipc # Node.js IPC transport (used in VS Code)

mo-ide --socket={number} # TCP socket transport
