nvim-cmp VS LuaSnip

For this, we need to install a new completion engine: nvim-cmp. This engine uses completion “sources” (installed as separate dependencies) to populate the completion menu. So we also need to install cmp-buffer and cmp-nvim-lsp. Check out this tutorial by TJ DeVries for more info about how this plugin works.

👉 NVIM-CMP toolkit for better control comfort nvim. Such as help, command completion and much more.

You should use many source plugins to use nvim-cmp effectively. The orders to load them lazily are difficult a bit to understand.

hrsh7th/nvim-cmp: A completion plugin for neovim coded in Lua.

Like many using Neovim, I'm leveraging the Nvim-Cmp plugin. With this plugin, I get the snippets, code completion, and documentation on functions that I'm used to that help me out when my brain slows.

Doing a fast scan on the commit history this is probably related to https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp/pull/1689 . Hope it helps.

https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

Edit: Solved I only had to do this

On the other hand, I also tried simpler solutions such as gists or snippets (1, 2) which I can use as starting points for my projects despite being not convenient for re-use and pretty much unmaintainable due to lack of clear structure.

As the developer of the Automad flat-file content management system, I wanted to make working with Automad themes in Neovim as smooth as possible. Automad has its own templating syntax, so I created tree-sitter-automad to provide proper syntax highlighting. Since it’s not yet an official parser, you need to manually register it in Neovim. To speed up template writing, you can also add custom snippets using LuaSnip. Here's how to set everything up.

If you're using Neovim, check out LuaSnip: https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

You can use LuaSnip and load snippets from VSCode. The documentation is pretty complete, but here is my config in case you want another reference.

I am trying to add snippets for python, i have LuaSnip and friendly-snippets installed, but for some reason it does not load the snippets. This is how i load the plugins:

There was a similar issue in LuaSnip repo. The culprit was a keymap in the config. Do you happen to have a similar keymap somewhere in your config?

I have decided to extract my Haskell snippets for LuaSnip into a plugin: haskell-snippets.nvim.

Not exactly what you're talking about but you could look into LuaSnip?
