Sorting of code actions

[IndianBoy42]

Would it be possible to add a way to sort the code actions by lsp server?

My use case is I want the actions from null-ls to be below any other lsp

We could have a option that explicitly designates low priority servers (null, efm etc)

or more flexibly a function that takes a code action and returns the priority. Then we sort those using a stable sort so ties will be shown in the same order

Currently there is no such option. However, the nvim-lsp API has improved and provide the customization point for additional options using config as a parameter, and vim.lsp.with() also provides so much flexibility.

So, the interface I am thinking is like we would have the code_actions from lsp-server and user can provide the transform function as key in config table of handler. That transform option would accept the code-action table and return a code-action table with applying some transformation function on each element of input table, e.g., sorting in your case. User can do sorting as they want it to be based on priority or anything. This would make it more extensible for users.

In case user doesn't want any kind of change, transform operation can be defaulted to return the same table passed.

Your thoughts on the interface... as assigning priority on LSP would be to much towards a single requirement and only does suffice goals for a single use-case. And going with that can lead to explode in number of parameters nvim-lsputils have to handle as many other use-cases arise with time.

Another thing is that, TBH I would take a little time to implement it as currently I just entered in my final year of my undergraduate and hence more focusing on interviews and things. You are from India, so hope you understand my situation. When I started the project I entered 3rd year so, I had lot time to work on it, however due to placements and things the pace of project has gotten slower. I would try to implement this feature way before placements are over. However, if you are in hurry, a PR on this would be highly appreciated.

Hello @IndianBoy42 check lspactions, it may suite your need for sorting codeactions. You can use vim.lsp.with to pass a transform function. result table will be passed to this transform function created by user. You can pass a transform function that does sorting based on your needs. I have not made these changes in nvim-lsputils yet... I am little confused with its direction so it may take some time to be there in nvim-lsputils I guess...
