luv VS nvim-lsp-ts-utils

Hi, I had this issue and I solved it by building https://github.com/luvit/luv myself.

To answer the OP's question, you could tackle luv and libuv ecosystem, as a way to connect Lua to real-world systems (files, sockets, servers...). That's one way to put Lua skills to use, there are other great answers in the thread. Another recommendation is to go through Programming in Lua book, especially the later chapters where you learn how Lua talks to the host application.

Alternatively you can get into the weeds and play around with the in built vim.loop (which is really just luv, specifically spawn to run commands on the OS and handle stdout processing via stream.

Unfortunately I doubt they are able to use netrw, it interfaces with user facing buffers too much. Telescope uses plenary which uses lua's luv implementation (bound to vim.loop). Fzf-lua uses an external binary called fzf

Lua is still actively used so there is a great number of libraries that came out in last 9 years. A decent example is the luv library that is packed with great functionality. On the whole I'm quite satisfied with the ecosystem, but it all depends on the domain.

You should be able to find plenty of examples of asynchronous code at https://github.com/luvit/luv and translate it.

The first thing I would recommend is read the official documentation. Both libuv and luvit (or more specifically luv)

I spent some time converting the luv documentation to make it available in :help and make the vim.loop module more discoverable. Thought plugin authors might be interested.

I'm assuming this one.

Wow, cool plugin! Tsserver utils and tsserver extension support these operations https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/nvim-lsp-ts-utils https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/typescript.nvim

Interesting, I work a lot in TypeScript and with inlay hints from nvim-lsp-ts-utils enabled i do have a lot of virtual text.

I also recommend Comment.nvim along with nvim-ts-context-commentstring for easy commenting in mixed syntax files like vue SFCs. nvim-lsp-ts-utils also has some nice utility functions for typescript development.

That depends on your language server. I know the typescript language server has it. There is a plugin: https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/nvim-lsp-ts-utils that I think can help.

Hi, I just found out about this https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/nvim-lsp-ts-utils , I might help you.

I would make a feature request on https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/nvim-lsp-ts-utils, as this is not likely exposed via the protocol and would need to be implemented in a plugin.

There is one “recipe” for tsserver: https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/nvim-lsp-ts-utils/blob/main/lua/nvim-lsp-ts-utils/rename-file.lua

If you're working with React in TypeScript I'd also highly recommend nvim-lsp-ts-utils which adds some nice LSP features, for instance file renaming that automatically updates your module imports.
