Support for Razor pages

[mphe]

Is support for Razor pages planned?
I'm currently working on an ASP.NET Core Razor project and having LSP support in cshtml files would be awesome.

I was working on a prototype at one point but left it abandoned due to lack of time :(

My initial dabblings at parser+lexer for razor: https://github.com/razzmatazz/fazor

Not sure if that is the right approach. Ideally it should integrate with microsoft asp.net razor libs/parsers to not maintain our own.

I have found https://github.com/dotnet/razor, which supposedly implements a LS "rzls", but apparently noone is using it.
According to this comment, the integration of rzls seems to be non-trivial.
Also just found this post related to the LS included with the vscode C# plugin.

i found the rzls thing a while back as well and tried to build and then use it but failed even building it
i might try building it again, setting up a script, then try to reverse enegineer how vscode uses it
most probably not cuz im no expert and dont have that much time but ill post here and on that omnisharp-vim thread if i find anything

ok so getting rzls to build and work wasnt so hard now but it seems it has a ton of custom LSP messages and that language server wont work with a general LSP client implementation

☝🏻 that was exactly the result of my investigation of rzls, --you would need to implement additional behaviour and preserve a lot of state on the client to integrate it

I am working on a plugin to hopefully work towards support for this is anyone is looking to collaborate
