Syntax Highlighting

For the syntax highlighting, QtCreator supports the same format as Kate, with the xml file at the same location. Refer to the instruction from the <Link type="KateSyntaxHighlighting" label="Kate page"/> to enable syntax highlighting.

LSP

To install the Slint Language server, check the <Link type="SlintLSP" label="LSP Documentation"/>.

To setup the lsp:

  1. Install the slint-lsp binary
  2. Then in Qt creator, go to Tools > Option and select the Language Client section.
  3. Click Add
  4. As a name, use "Slint"
  5. use *.slint as a file pattern. (don't use MIME types)
  6. As executable, select the slint-lsp binary (no arguments required)
  7. Click Apply or Ok

Live Preview

Once you have set up the LSP, in order to preview a component, when you have a .slint file open, place your cursor to the name of the component you would like to preview and press Alt + Enter to open the code action menu. Select Show Preview from that menu.
