Using Oxlint LSP server in Sublime Text

26/08/2025 in #sublimetext #lsp

The Sublime LSP package brings the power of LSP servers in Sublime Text, with support for many languages and tools: ESLint, Markdown, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, etc.

We have been using Oxlint in our @studiometa/js-toolkit project to speed up linting and reduce configuration complexity with TypeScript, but I was missing the instant and integrated feedback from the ESLint LSP server when editing files.

With some digging, I found out that it is easy to add a custom LSP server, and the oxlint NPM package is shipped with the language server binary. I added the following configuration in my Sublime LSP settings:

{
  "clients": {
    "LSP-oxlint": {
      "enabled": true,
      "command": [
        "/opt/homebrew/bin/npx",
        "-y",
        "--package=oxlint",
        "-c",
        "'oxc_language_server'"
      ],
      "selector": "source.js | source.ts"
    }
  }
}

I now have code quality reports for Oxlint directly in Sublime Text, with code actions and all the language server other tools available.
