Code Lenses

Code Lenses are text hints that an editor would display above a given text line to denote useful information related to the element described in the text.

Default Implementation in AnyText

If a rule has a document symbol, AnyText implements a default code lens to return the number of references to this element. Further, when clicking on this element, the client shall execute the command custom/showReferences. Clients such as Visual Studio Code extensions are recommended to implement this command and show the default builtin references view.

Customizations

Custom code lenses can easily be provided by overriding the property CodeLenses of any ModelElementRule, similar to Code Actions. However, the title of a code lens is usually dynamic, which is why the title of a code lens can be a function to return the actual title.
