Lean.Server.Rpc.Basic

Allows LSP clients to make Remote Procedure Calls to the server.

The single use case for these is to allow the infoview UI to refer to and manipulate heavy-weight objects residing on the server. It would be inefficient to serialize these into JSON and send over. For example, the client can format an Expr without transporting the whole Environment.

All RPC requests are relative to an open file and an RPC session for that file. The client must first connect to the session using $/lean/rpc/connect.

An object which RPC clients can refer to without marshalling.

The language server may serve the same RpcRef multiple times and maintains a reference count to track how many times it has served the reference. If clients want to release the object associated with an RpcRef, they must release the reference as many times as they have received it from the server.

Instances For
    structure Lean.Server.WithRpcRef (α : Type u) :

    Marks values to be encoded as opaque references in RPC packets. Two WithRpcRefs with the same id will yield the same client-side reference.

    See also the docstring for RpcEncodable.

      def Lean.Server.WithRpcRef.mk {α : Type} (val : α) :

      Creates an WithRpcRef instance with a unique id. As long as the client holds at least one reference to this WithRpcRef, serving it again will yield the same client-side reference. Thus, when used as React deps, client-side references can help preserve UI state across RPC requests.

          • Objects that are being kept alive for the RPC client, together with their type names, mapped to by their RPC reference.

          • Unique RpcRef for the ID of an object that is being referenced through RPC. We store this mapping so that we can reuse RpcRefs for the same object. Reusing RpcRefs is helpful because it enables clients to reuse their UI state.

          • nextRef : USize

            Value to use for the next fresh RpcRef, monotonically increasing.

                  RpcEncodable α means that α can be deserialized from and serialized into JSON for the purpose of receiving arguments to and sending return values from Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs).

                  Any type with FromJson and ToJson instances is RpcEncodable.

                  Furthermore, types that do not have these instances may still be RpcEncodable. Use deriving RpcEncodable to automatically derive instances for such types.

                  This occurs when α contains data that should not or cannot be serialized: for instance, heavy objects such as Lean.Environment, or closures. For such data, we use the WithRpcRef marker. Note that for WithRpcRef α to be RpcEncodable, α must have a TypeName instance

                  On the server side, WithRpcRef α is a structure containing a value of type α and an associated id. On the client side, it is an opaque reference of (structural) type Lsp.RpcRef. Thus, WithRpcRef α is cheap to transmit over the network but may only be accessed on the server side. In practice, it is used by the client to pass data between various RPC methods provided by the server. Two WithRpcRefs with the same id will yield the same client-side reference.
