Neovim-from-scratch VS nvim-lua-guide

They also provide a "from-scratch" option, to be easier to understand

I would recommend the Neovim from Scratch series on Youtube with the addition of the code_runner.nvim plugin. It's a good config that will teach you a lot about configuring Neovim. code_runner.nvim is a nice addition, especially for a university student. Good luck!

I don't know myself how I learned neovim, but I started with using a repo called Neovim-from-scratch, but I'm not sure if it's still up to date, but I used it as my base config then started to add plugins I want and remove plugins I don't need. Most of the people recommend kickstart.nvim now as base config for neovim lua config.

Hey So I am trying to setup the neovim config for gopls and ts-server using [this](https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch/tree/06-LSP), Now I would like to clarify that I have copy pasted from this guys repo and I do understand what he is doing to some extent. But for some reason in the file `lua/user/lsp/handlers.lua` He creted the following function ```lua local function lsp_keymaps(bufnr)

This is the GitHub repo for the aforementioned playlist.

I would recommend LazyVim or Kickstart.nvim. If you don't want to do any configuration, LunarVim might be for you. I would recommend the Neovim from Scratch config since it is very good and essentially has an accompanying guide. However, it is slightly out of date and needs a few tweaks to work properly.

Nvim Lua guide

My main struggles beyond a simple problem are just the inability to find a way to easily debug things and the general process for setting up a plugin. I mostly work with Python/Jupyter, some C and Lua/Bash scripts, and usually you can either write tests/print debug for smaller scale things or get some stack trace if you have an error. With Neovim development, it just feels like there's nothing more besides update plugin, try on neovim, fail, bash head against wall, and repeat, and that doesn't quite seem efficient or correct - I'm sure there's something out there that should make the process easier. I tried looking online but I haven't found many that really fit my needs (most of the resources here seem more targeted towards creating your own init.lua, and Luadev plugin's commands are all broken (:Luadev-RunLine and any other command keeps telling me I got some trailing space). I'm really just looking to see how to make a snippet library, but there doesn't seem to be much that helps me. If someone could let me know how they debug their plugin or point me to any external resources, please let me know!

I have no guidance for the first point. For the second, checkout the neovim lua guide or : lua-guide

A quick google search turned up this codeacademy class on learning to program in Javascript. I didn't vet the whole thing, but it appears to assume you know nothing, which is what you need. If you go through that, you can then consume one of the resources that /u/luascriptdev post to equate that back to Lua. Again, the concepts translate.
