NPM version or script

[predragnikolic]

Should we use the npm version - https://www.npmjs.com/package/vscode-css-languageservice?activeTab=dependents

• pros: dependabot creates PRs when new releases are available
• cons: can't guarantee that the npm package will be maintained

or script for updating this repo

• pros: ability to have latest changes
• cons: maybe forget to run the script until someone mentions you to run it :)

I seriously don't know what approach is better :)

Using npm package is better unless there is something wrong with the npm package or it's outdated.

I'm not sure why we've switched to building manually. It was done in #2. The most likely reason is that the npm package was outdated but it seems to be up to date now.

+1 for packages on NPM + dependabot. But, note that the NPM package proposed by @predragnikolic is different from what we are using now, which depends on that NPM package.

Does vscode-css-language"service" work for us? I mean, is it a LSP server? How to run it in ST? In that case, there is no point someone extracts https://github.com/vscode-langservers/vscode-css-languageserver.

Oh, yes. The "*service" one is what the "*server" is using. We can't use "*service" directly.

The one we could use is released as https://www.npmjs.com/package/vscode-css-languageserver-bin but that one is outdated.

So that's why we are building manually.

Yes, now it makes sense, thanks for the clarification. 🙂
