Support for .vscode/settings.json

[jrmoulton]

On several projects that I work on rust analyzer is configured to work using a vscode settings.json file in order to set project settings that without them renders rust analyzer basically useless. Is there any support/ any way to read in those project settings and set the rust analyzer settings?

An example project

Shouldn't be too hard to add support for with workspace/configurationChange or whatever it's called, the real hard part would be parsing the json, but yeah you're right its definitely a useful feature

Cool. I can work on implementing it. Would I just parse the json and then pass that in to the RA with the other server configs?

hmm not sure, would definitely want a way to update the settings without restarting neovim so an autocmd + parse the json then send a workspace/didChangeConfiguration

Really interested as well

FWIW I was able to workaround the lack of this by using tamago324/nlsp-settings.nvim:

• :LspSettings local buffer
• Add your rust-analyzer settings to the JSON file that is opened
• Restart neovim (LspRestart did not seem to work)
