About:
The Ansible Language Server provides IDE-independent language features for Ansible playbooks and roles. It powers the VS Code extension but works with any LSP-compatible editor, delivering intelligent code completion, syntax validation, and inline documentation. This tool enhances productivity by bringing Ansible-specific intelligence directly into your development workflow.
Key Features:
  • Code completion and IntelliSense for Ansible modules and keywords
  • Real-time syntax and schema validation for playbooks
  • Hover documentation for modules and parameters
  • Diagnostics and error highlighting
  • YAML language support with Ansible context awareness
Use Cases:
  • Developing Ansible playbooks and roles with intelligent code assistance
  • Validating playbook syntax and structure during development
  • Integrating Ansible support into custom IDE or editor workflows
Alternatives:
  • ansible-lint – Focuses on linting and style rules, while ALS provides interactive editor features like completion and hover
  • VSCode Ansible extension – Uses ALS as its backend; ALS provides the language intelligence that can be used in other editors
