nvim-ale-diagnostic VS efm-langserver

I did find nathanmsmith/nvim-ale-diagnostic but it is abandoned; and I'm not sure if it accomplishes what I want.

I didn't replace it, but started using https://github.com/nathanmsmith/nvim-ale-diagnostic instead. With a few tweaks works quite well, but long term I'm planning to move to null-ls and/or efm.

My current setup is: use ale for linting and formatting with https://github.com/nathunsmitty/nvim-ale-diagnostic to send lsp diagnostics to it.

To use it with nvim-lsp you will need nvim-ale-diagnostic

I just use this plugin and toggle ALE itself.

for folks who are on nvim-lsp there is a similar plugin nvim-ale-diagnostic

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.
