A Rails server in your editor: Using Ruby LSP to extract runtime information by Andy Waite

Language servers, like the Ruby LSP, typically use only static information about the code to provide editor features. But Ruby is a dynamic language and Rails makes extensive use of its meta-programming features. Can we get information from the runtime instead and use that to increase developer happiness?

In this talk, we’re going to explore how the Ruby LSP connects with the runtime of your Rails application to expose information about the database, migrations, routes and more. Join us for an in-depth exploration of Ruby LSP Rails, and learn how to extend it to support the Rails features most important to your app.
