This project is a WebSocket proxy server that facilitates communication between a client (e.g., a code editor) and the Go language server (gopls). It acts as an intermediary, forwarding messages between the client and the gopls process.
- Node.js (v12 or later)
- npm (Node Package Manager)
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/mkslanc/goplsws.git
- Navigate to the project directory
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Start the proxy server:
node index.js
-
The server will start listening on port 3030 for incoming WebSocket connections.
-
Configure your client (e.g., code editor) to connect to the proxy server at
ws://localhost:3030.
The proxy server establishes a WebSocket connection with the client and spawns a new gopls process. It then sets up a communication channel between the client and the gopls process using the vscode-jsonrpc library.
Messages received from the client are processed by the handleMessage function, which modifies the message parameters (e.g., setting the root URI, workspace folders) before forwarding them to the gopls process.
Responses from the gopls process are processed by the processMessage function, which modifies the message parameters (e.g., converting file URIs to client-friendly paths) before sending them back to the client.
Contributions are welcome! If you find any issues or want to enhance the project, feel free to submit a pull request.
