  • Using nvim-lint as a null-ls alternative for linters
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 14 Aug 2023
    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.

    I went with a minimal approach ... I still use my `.vimrc` file, removed all code completion stuff and added LSP https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim/blob/v2.x/doc/m... ... next step treesitter but i'm in no hurry :)

  • As someone new to neovim, should I even bother with LSP?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 12 Jul 2023
    For those new to neovim, the documentation in lsp-zero has a tutorial that shows a configuration from scratch. It shows how to get a plugin a manager, a colorscheme, and setup lsp-zero.

  • How to configure vim like an IDE

    For neovim, you can still use the same extensions; however there's also a built-in LSP client. The downside of using the built-in is you'll need to have more extensions installed/configured to get all the features out of the box...BUT projects do exist to help simplify that, like lsp-zero.

    In version v2.x the keybindings you set on the "global" on_attach of lsp-zero should work without any extra config. v2.x also has a tutorial on how to work with nvim-jdtls: setup with nvim-jdtls

    I use lsp-zero which lets me handle lsp and completition easily as it bundles a bunch of plugins such as lsp-config, cmp and Mason. Here it is: https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim
