neoformat VS nvim-ts-context-commentstring

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 work with Vue every day, but I don't use AstroNvim. The Volar language server with Take Over Mode works great for me. I don't know what exactly is broken for you when commenting, but my plugin nvim-ts-context-commentstring works for setting the correct commentstring in the Vue single file component sections with Treesitter.

Fair enough, although this helps a lot with this issue.

I haven't tried mini, but judging by the README he would also have to use a plugin the likes of nvim-ts-commentstrung in a p re / post hook to get the adequate comment string in files with multiple languages.

I use https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring with vim-commentary

I think you could use Comment.nvim combine with nvim-ts-context-commentstring like explained in this video

you should be able to integrate it with nvim-ts-context-commentstring as specified in the nvim-comment README

Are you using nvim-ts-context-commentstring?

You can try using comment + context-comment, I've found it better for treesitter supported code commenting personally.

I'm using Context Commentstring & Comment.nvim together.
