nvim-ale-diagnostic VS neoformat

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

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).
