Setup lsp server

Before starting, it is strongly recommended that you walk through the LSP configuration lspconfig repository.

Then check server_configurations.md to make sure your language's LSP server is present there.

  • Plugin table
-- In order to modify the `lspconfig` configuration:
{
  "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
   config = function()
      require("nvchad.configs.lspconfig").defaults()
      require "configs.lspconfig"
   end,
},

  • configs/lspconfig.lua
local configs = require("nvchad.configs.lspconfig")

local on_attach = configs.on_attach
local on_init = configs.on_init
local capabilities = configs.capabilities

local lspconfig = require "lspconfig"
local servers = { "html", "cssls", "clangd"}

for _, lsp in ipairs(servers) do
  lspconfig[lsp].setup {
    on_init = on_init,
    on_attach = on_attach,
    capabilities = capabilities,
  }
end

-- Without the loop, you would have to manually set up each LSP 
-- 
-- lspconfig.html.setup {
--   on_attach = on_attach,
--   capabilities = capabilities,
-- }
--
-- lspconfig.cssls.setup {
--   on_attach = on_attach,
--   capabilities = capabilities,
-- }

Mason.nvim

The mason.nvim plugin is used to download LSP servers, formatters, linters, and debug adapters. It's better to list all your required packages in your Mason override config, so they automatically download when running MasonInstallAll command.

You can find the exact name of the LSP packages using :Mason, that will open a window.

 {
   "williamboman/mason.nvim",
   opts = {
      ensure_installed = {
        "lua-language-server",
        "html-lsp",
        "prettier",
        "stylua"
      },
    },
  }

Once the binaries are installed, you will have to configure them to properly work with LSP, conform.nvim, nvim-lint, nvim-dap etc. It depends on what you installed. NvChad does not provide any language configuration aside from lua.
