Nvim-R VS nvim-lspconfig

If you do a lot of R coding, then a package more specific to R, and more fully featured is Nvim-R.

The whole reason I ended up going this route was also sort of data-science related: there’s a really spectacular R plugin for Vim, which I wanted to recapitulate as best I could when using python: https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R

I am slowly getting into using neovim. I am now trying to setup my R programming environment. I have successfully installed Nvim-R with Packer (https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R). Now, I would like to use the radian console (https://github.com/randy3k/radian/blob/master/README.md#nvim-r-support). In the documentation, it is said to put this in the config file:

But just wondering if people have tried using it with the Nvim-R plugin? I'm not sure it is worth the effort for me looking through the steps needed. Also, do I need to switch my init.vim/vimrc to lua? Perspectives appreciated!

However, there doesn't seem to be much available support yet for Quarto editing. The only plugin I could find is limited to syntax highlighting. To my knowledge, Quarto also isn't a built-in filetype yet. I've worked around this by manually creating a filetype and using R Markdown syntax highlighting with the Nvim-R plugin, which lets me send R code in chunks to a REPL and see results while I edit. Nvim-R also supports evaluation of Python code chunks using an R package that evaluates Python code, but that's not an ideal solution for editing a Python-only file.

looking for a neovim plugin that's similar to Nvim-R, but for python.

For that reason, I want to use Nvim-R in combination with ncm-R. I get the completion to work if I use it manually with Ctrl+x Ctrl+o, but it does not start automatically. My init.vim file looks like this:

I use Nvim-R. It took a bit of time to learn the key bindings, but the documentation is pretty clear.

If you want to go in a very different direction, you can try vim (or neovim) with nvim-r. For a variety of reasons, that’s what I tend to use.

nvim + Nvim-R user here as well.

I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.

These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.

Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.

https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig

This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:

For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.

pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server

Best of luck! Happy hacking.

Adding language support it neovim isn't very difficult once you're setup. I use nvim-lspconfig[1] and just about any language you could need is documented[2]. But like others have mentioned there are batteries included distributions of neovim if that's your cup of tea.

If we can't find the basic usage in the documentation we can go to nvim-lspconfig's github repository. In there we look for a folder called server_configurations, this contains configuration files for a bunch of language servers.

https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

This specific issue talks about fixing clangd for that error: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/issues/2184. The issue is ongoing for ccls AFAIK but for clangd, this has been discussed and fixed in the past already.

I am trying to set up the pbkit language server for protobuf files. Since it is not part of the nvim-lspconfig repo's server configurations, I have to figure the way out myself. It doesn't seem to be too difficult, as I can start from the bufls configuration there. The following is what I have at the moment:

I have configured neovim with lspconfig and mason. Added the suggested configuration of the lsp config(https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) to ~/.config/nvim/after/plugin/lsp.lua Then I installed via mason the following language servers:

Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

Basically neovim can act as a client to a variety of different language servers (https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...) which give neovim IDE capabilities. This can be done in original Vim also but requires external plugins which can be a pain to compile and install. Neovim has it built in.

I'm struggling to get [sqlls](https://github.com/joe-re/sql-language-server) with [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) to use Postgres syntax.
