tabby-agent v1.5.0

Tabby Agent

The Tabby Agent is an agent used for communication with the Tabby server. It is based on Node.js v18 and implements several common features to enhance code completion, including caching, debouncing, and post-processing.

This package exports both libraries and a CLI tool.

Language Server

To run the agent as a language server, you can pass the argument --lsp and an additional IO option to the CLI tool. The available IO options are --stdio, --node-ipc or --socket=<PORT>.

npx tabby-agent --lsp --stdio

The language server provides the following features:

• Completion
• Inline Completion (WIP, upcoming LSP v3.18 feature)

Since most text editors have their built-in LSP clients or popular LSP client plugins, you can easily connect to the Tabby agent language server from your editor. Here are some example configurations for popular editors.

VSCode

A common way to add a new language server to VSCode is by creating a new extension. We provide an example extension for VSCode in example-vscode-lsp.

Note: Tabby provides an official extension for VSCode, you can install it from marketplace. The example provided here is just for reference on how to use the Tabby agent as a language server.

Emacs

The package lsp-mode provides an LSP client for Emacs. You can add the following code to your Emacs configuration script to use the Tabby agent as a language server.

(with-eval-after-load 'lsp-mode
  (lsp-register-client
    (make-lsp-client  :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection '("npx" "tabby-agent" "--lsp" "--stdio"))
                      ;; you can select languages to enable Tabby language server
                      :activation-fn (lsp-activate-on "typescript" "javascript" "toml")
                      :priority 1
                      :add-on? t
                      :server-id 'tabby-agent)))

Vim/Neovim

There are several Vim/Neovim plugins that provide LSP support. One of them is coc.nvim. To use the Tabby agent as a language server, you can add the following code to your :CocConfig.

{
  "languageserver": {
    "tabby-agent": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tabby-agent", "--lsp", "--stdio"],
      "filetypes": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

Helix

Helix has built-in LSP support. To use the Tabby agent as a language server, you can add the following code to your languages.toml.

[language-server.tabby]
command = "npx"
args = ["tabby-agent", "--lsp", "--stdio"]

# Add Tabby as the second language server for your specific languages
[[languages]]
name = "typescript"
language-servers = ["typescript-language-server", "tabby"]

[[languages]]
name = "toml"
language-servers = ["taplo", "tabby"]
