* Description :unfold:
This module adds [[https://ocaml.org/][OCaml]] support to Doom Emacs, powered by [[doom-package:][tuareg-mode]].

- Code completion, documentation look-up, code navigation and refactoring
  ([[doom-package:][merlin]])
- Type, documentation and function argument display on idle ([[doom-package:][merlin-eldoc]])
- REPL ([[doom-package:][utop]])
- Syntax-checking ([[doom-package:][merlin]] with [[doom-package:][flycheck-ocaml]])
- Auto-indentation ([[doom-package:][ocp-indent]])
- Code formatting ([[doom-package:][ocamlformat]])
- Dune file format ([[doom-package:][dune]])

** Maintainers
*This module needs a maintainer.* [[doom-contrib-maintainer:][Become a maintainer?]]

** Module flags
- +lsp ::
  Enable LSP support for ~tuareg-mode~. Requires [[doom-module:][:tools lsp]] and a langserver
  (supports [[https://github.com/freebroccolo/ocaml-language-server][ocaml-language-server]]).
- +tree-sitter ::
  Leverages tree-sitter for better syntax highlighting and structural text
  editing. Requires [[doom-module:][:tools tree-sitter]].

** Packages
- [[doom-package:][dune]]
- [[doom-package:][ocamlformat]] if [[doom-module:][:editor format]]
- [[doom-package:][ocp-indent]]
- [[doom-package:][tuareg]]
- [[doom-package:][utop]] if [[doom-module:][:tools eval]]
- unless [[doom-module:][+lsp]]
  - [[doom-package:][flycheck-ocaml]] if [[doom-module:][:checkers syntax]]
  - [[doom-package:][merlin]]
  - [[doom-package:][merlin-company]]
  - [[doom-package:][merlin-eldoc]]

** Hacks
- ~set-ligatures!~ is called with the full tuareg prettify symbol list, this can
  cause columns to change as certain keywords are shortened (e.g. =fun= becomes
  \lambda).
- ~tuareg-opam-update-env~ is called the first time [[doom-package:][tuareg]] is loaded

- The following files should have syntax highlighting support: ~.ml{i,p,y,}~,
  ~.eliom{i,}~, ~jbuild~, ~dune~, ~opam~
- ~merlin-mode~ is activated whenever a =.merlin= file is found (including in a
  parent directory) and =ocamlmerlin= executable is present
- Line-based auto-indentation is provided by =ocp-indent=, if it is available.

* TODO Configuration
#+begin_quote
 🔨 /This module's configuration documentation is incomplete./ [[doom-contrib-module:][Complete it?]]
#+end_quote

- If [[doom-module:][:completion company]] is enabled then autocomplete is provided by [[doom-package:][merlin]]
- When [[doom-module:][:checkers syntax]] is enabled then [[doom-package:][flycheck-ocaml]] is activated to do
  on-the-fly syntax/type checking via [[doom-package:][merlin]], otherwise this is only done when
  the file is saved.
- Spell checking is activated in comments if [[doom-module:][:checkers spell]] is active
- A REPL is provided if [[doom-package:][utop]] is installed and [[doom-module:][:tools eval]] is active
- If [[doom-module:][:editor format]] is enabled, the =ocamlformat= executable is available and
  there is an =.ocamlformat= file present then ~format-all-buffer~ is bound to
  =ocamlformat=, otherwise to =ocp-indent=
- If [[doom-module:][:editor multiple-cursors]] is enabled then identifiers can be refactored with
  [[kbd:][v R]] and multiple cursors (this correctly matches identifier occurrences
  according to scope, it is not purely a textual match)

Run ~$ doom sync~ to install all packages and ~$ doom doctor~ to diagnose
missing tools.
