LunarVim VS flutter-tools.nvim

LunarVim

I would suggest to start getting into vim by first trying out popular vim keybinding plugins available on your favorite code editor and get used to those first. Then, if you want to dive deeper into the power of Neovim, try out popular configs like LazyVim, LunarVim, NvChad... Taking Neovim from a mere text editor to a full-featured IDE with features like intellisense, debugging, testing, etc... on your own takes quite a lot of work and configuration.

I used Helix for a while due to its support for LSP out-of-the-box, which my Vim config at the time couldn't live up to. I switched back to NeoVim after finding LunarVim[1] which had everything I was trying to get setup in my own config.

I'll admit I didn't look into it, but Helix sounds like something like LunarVim (https://www.lunarvim.org/)

Personally I much prefer that the editor NOT ship with something like that by default, especially when it's so easy to set up. I have several different vim config I use, including a pretty bare-bones one for headless systems, and I much prefer the ability to customize something very specifically.

Build tools that can compose together, rather than a single do-it-all tool. That is the power of the low level editors vs IDE's.

I can't comment on any implementation details, but at least with LunarVim (which I use for daily coding), a slowdown when interacting with LSP is very noticeable. Some others have attested to this on a GitHub issue.

I'm not doubting your experiences with the lack of a slowdown, but there is truth that others do experience it. That might be more of a problem with LunarVim itself rather than Vim, but how likely am I (as someone who would like to avoid what he calls "config hell") or other newcomers to avoid whatever pitfalls there are, if a distribution designed for ease of use by people who know better fall into them?

Anyways, although i have not used them, LazyVim and LunarVim comes highly recommended. You can try these and see what suits you .

• ⁠first is DAP, it breaks the app, I don’t think dap breakpoints work as well • ⁠second is running code actions from outline window https://github.com/akinsho/flutter-tools.nvim/issues/244 (I just discovered I can run from code with lsp bug code actions, so this is trivial)

have you tried this plugin?

This will get you most of the way there.

Long time lurker, first time poster here. First off, I am still in the process migrating to Nvim from VSCode, so sorry if my question is noobish. I'm trying to use nvim for Flutter development with the help of the flutter-tools plugin. I managed to get it working when using my own config with Packer.

if you already have flutter installed in your system then you should already have dartls. I find that using this plugin works and there is no need to configure it in lspconfig

There is flutter-tools.nvim that helps provide good integration with the native LSP in Neovim and utilize all of the features. We also have a section in the AstroNvim docs about setting up language server specific plugins nicely in the user configuration and have an example snippet for setting up flutter-tools: https://astronvim.github.io/Recipes/advanced_lsp#lsp-specific-plugins
