For any given symbol usage, we want to be able to jump to the point in our code where the symbol was defined.

LSP API Methods

• textDocument/definition

there is also potential overlap with the textDocument/declaration method to be explored as part of the implementation of this feature.

Variations of Definition Lookups

Variables

x: uint256

@external
def foo() -> uint256:
    return self.x

Running Go To Definition on the usage of self.x within foo() should jump the cursor to the first line, where x is declared/defined.

Functions

x: uint256

@external
def foo() -> uint256:
    return self.bar()

@internal
def bar() -> uint256:
    return self.x

Running Go To Definition on the usage of self.bar() within foo() should jump the cursor to the line where the function bar() is declared
