neoformat VS nvim-lsp-installer

I see that AstroNvim uses null-ls.nvim to format files. That does not format Markdown tables, so I added use of the Neoformat plugin to do that. But there is a major issue that I described here: https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat/issues/457.

hi, this is perfect!!! Thanks for recommending. here is a link for anyone curious: https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat

You could use Neoformat, and manually run :NeoFormat! pgFormater on a visual selection or create an autocmd to do the same automatically on save.

I like https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat for that usecase. I was able to simplify my init.lua a lot by switching from null-ls.

Pick your poison (in no particular order): - au BufWritePre *.py %!isort -d - - https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat - https://github.com/mhartington/formatter.nvim - https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim - ...

For me, neoformat is the best 👍

NeoFormat

There are plenty of code-formatting plugins, like auto-format and neoformat, for vim. But all of them require running a certain command or using :w to trigger formating.

You can use it with neoformat, they have instructions in the README to set up formatting on save. Which is what you want. Or you could create an autocommand/mapping to run shfmt on the current buffer without having to install a plugin.

Formatting - I just use prettier with neoformat. For indent size, I just do setlocal tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=2 within ftplugin/javascriptreact.vim (and others - probably a better way to do this but it works).

I had previous gotten a working setup with https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer however, I have been unable to get it working ever since.

The only way to stay up to date, is when you read the commits if you update the plugins. In this case for the lsp-installer in the commit bfa74f4 was mentioned that the plugin will no longer maintained

A word of caution, I believe lspinstall has been deprecated in favor of nvim-lspinstall which itself has also been deprecated in favor of mason-lspconfig

We have now migrated from nvim-lsp-instasller to mason which provides automatic LSP and null-ls configuration after installation

nvim-lsp-installer or mason.nvim. FYI lsp-zero also uses mason.nvim for managing installation.

I'm using nvim-lsp-installer it installs typescript when installing volar. So I had given it that path. Plus I had typescript locally installing since I'm using vue3+ts(vite) template

Though mason only recently replaced nvim-lsp-installer. Same author but they decided to make a complete rewrite given the broader scope beyond only providing language servers. And nvim-dap had it's initial release in late July. The actual dap servers are all kind of mature since they've been running on vscode for a couple of years or more now - and the protocol is apparently almost as old as lsp. So when I call them beta, it's more a commentary on the state of the neovim side of the ecosystem. If you mess around getting nvim-dap to work then there's a chance things might change over the coming months and you might have to return to configuring it more often than you'd like. In this sense for now I'm happy just to open vscode or another more appropriate IDE to debug. But I can see myself using the plugins in a year or two when they've matured.

Here are a few resources to get you started: 1. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig 1. https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/gopls 1. https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer

Can recommend a combination of omnisharp-roslyn native LSP (installed manually or through something like mason or nvim-lsp-installer) with omnisharp-vim for some extra C#-niceties like OmniSharpRunTest, etc.
