# Code Intelligence
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/1576) in GitLab 13.1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Code Intelligence adds code navigation features common to interactive
|
||
|
|
development environments (IDE), including:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Type signatures and symbol documentation.
|
||
|
|
- Go-to definition
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Code Intelligence is built into GitLab and powered by [LSIF](https://lsif.dev/)
|
||
|
|
(Language Server Index Format), a file format for precomputed code
|
||
|
|
intelligence data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enable code intelligence for a project by adding a GitLab CI/CD job to the project's
|
||
|
|
`.gitlab-ci.yml` which will generate the LSIF artifact:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
code_navigation:
|
||
|
|
script:
|
||
|
|
- go get github.com/sourcegraph/lsif-go/cmd/lsif-go
|
||
|
|
- lsif-go
|
||
|
|
artifacts:
|
||
|
|
reports:
|
||
|
|
lsif: dump.lsif
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The generated LSIF file must be less than 170MiB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the job succeeds, code intelligence data can be viewed while browsing the code:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Language support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generating an LSIF file requires a language server indexer implementation for the
|
||
|
|
relevant language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Language | Implementation |
|
||
|
|
|---|---|
|
||
|
|
| Go | [sourcegraph/lsif-go](https://github.com/sourcegraph/lsif-go) |
|
||
|
|
| JavaScript | [sourcegraph/lsif-node](https://github.com/sourcegraph/lsif-node) |
|
||
|
|
| TypeScript | [sourcegraph/lsif-node](https://github.com/sourcegraph/lsif-node) |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
View a complete list of [available LSIF indexers](https://lsif.dev/#implementations-server) on their website and
|
||
|
|
refer to their documentation to see how to generate an LSIF file for your specific language.
