Research direction

Start with the supported-languages section in the README and the linked Tree-sitter available parsers to identify an unchecked language. Read the “Add languages” documentation, then verify the grammar dependencies and required highlights.scm concatenation; done means SPM support is added for the selected language and the supported-languages list is updated.

Description

enhancement epic help wanted

There are several language grammars available for tree-sitter. Checked items have SPM already implemented.

Supported languages

See the following section in the README:

Important to know is that some language grammars depend on another grammar to function properly (e.g.: C++ depends on the C grammar). Therefore the highlights.scm files need to be concatenated when run.

This can also happen when there are different flavors available (e.g: JavaScript & JSX). In this case there is an additional highlights-jsx.scm file located in the JavaScript's grammar queries folder.

Add new Languages

In order to make it a little easier to add SPM support to grammars, I wrote an article in the documentation: Add languages
