efm-langserver VS null-ls.nvim

Usually another program is used to lint/format code. Basic way is to just run them as a shell command or in another terminal and reload the file, but you can also hook it up to lsp. For example Javascript/Typescript projects use eslint and prettier. Runing `npx prettier` will format the files according to default rules. This is fine for every once in a while or a pre-commit hook. I think you are looking to have it integrated in nvim. Most formatters don't have a language server so you can connect them to nvim lsp with a general language server like: https://github.com/mattn/efm-langserver

I just started using helix and I absolutely love it 🔥 But I faced a really weird problem with using efm-langserver in helix.

I installed efm-langserver with Homebrew. Then, after my `mason_lspconfig` setup I tried adding this:

I've been using pint for formatting php files with null-ls.nvim. Few days ago null-ls.nvim has announced that the plugin will be archived in few months so I started migrating all my formatters and linter from null-ls to efm-langserver. I got other things such as prettier, black, isort, mypy, etc. working but can't get pint to work with php files: If I run pint via efm-langserver, everything is deleted from the buffer, and the saved file is formatted separately. How do I setup efm-langserver correctly to work with pint? Below is my config.yml for pint currently. yaml tools: pint: &pint format-command: "pint --no-interaction --quiet ${INPUT}" format-stdin: false languages: php: - <<: *pint Thank you.

It seems to be a recurring issue: https://github.com/mattn/efm-langserver/issues/181 https://github.com/mattn/efm-langserver/issues/241

I use the LSP if it supports formatting. I supplement that with efm-langserver which interfaces with CLI formatters and linters. It works well, similar to null-ls as I understand it.

As far as I know, the only solution (other than getting formatting directly from a LSP server) is to use EFM (https://github.com/mattn/efm-langserver), which implements the tricky logic of figuring out how to only update the changed text.

I'd almost given up on finding "the right" solution. Everywhere I looked, others had "solved" the issue in different ways: they were using the vtsls TypeScript LSP wrapper instead of ts_ls, or they were using coc.nvim, or the now-archived null-ls.nvim. But nowhere could I simply find a reliable configuration for a Vue language server configured natively in NeoVim.

you can use nvim then, it has shellcheck for diagnostics and formatting, like in vscode :)

here the link to the config: https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim/blob/main...

I use a lot of different languages generally and I'm running into issues around formatting. Is there any standard way to use LSP formatting by default and otherwise fallback to specific linter/formatting programs? I believe null-ls is the normal way of dealing with this, but since it's been archived, I'd rather not rely on it.

Because null-ls.nvim & mason.nvim together do everything I wanted CoC for
