Settings

require('lspconfig').basics_ls.setup({
    settings = {
        buffer = {
            enable = true,
            minCompletionLength = 4 -- only provide completions for words longer than 4 characters
            matchStrategy = 'exact', -- or 'fuzzy'
        },
        path = {
            enable = true,
        },
        snippet = {
            enable = false,
            sources = {} -- paths to package containing snippets, see examples below
            matchStrategy = 'exact', -- or 'fuzzy'
        },
    }
})

Settings snippet sources

snippet.sources can be a string or a list of strings. The strings should be absolute paths (or globs that resolve to paths) to one of either:

• Directory containing snippets. Example: '/home/user/snippets' which contains python.json
• Directory containing package.json that defines per language snippets in a VS Code extension API format.
• Path to package.json that defines per language snippets in a VS Code extension API format.
• A json or jsonc file where its name is the language id and its content is snippets. Example: '/home/user/snippets/python.json'. See VS Code example for format
