QML languageserver</purpose>

fr fr, that's what she is: a language server for QML. lowkey the backbone of every nice editor experience you've ever had with QML files. main character energy. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay here's the full menu, no skips, no shortcuts, every single one:

• -h, --help — shows you the help for the commandline options. the classic "wait what do I do" move. 🆘
• --help-all — same energy but MORE, it shows the help including the generic Qt options. the deluxe edition. 💖
• -w, --wait <waitSeconds> — makes her sit there and wait the given number of seconds before startup. patience is a virtue bestie. ⏳
• -v, --verbose — outputs extra information on the operations being performed. she starts yapping (affectionately) and honestly we love that. 🗣️
• -l, --log-file <logFile> — writes logging to the given file. receipts. keep them. 🧾
