2. Then in Qt creator, go to Tools > Option and select the Language Client section.
3. Click Add
4. As a name, use “Slint”
5. use *.slint as a file pattern. (don’t use MIME types)
6. As executable, select the slint-lsp binary (no arguments required)
7. Click Apply or Ok

Live Preview

Once you have set up the LSP, in order to preview a component, when you have a .slint file open, place your cursor to the name of the component you would like to preview and press Alt + Enter to open the code action menu. Select Show Preview from that menu.
