  • Using nvim-lint as a null-ls alternative for linters
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 14 Aug 2023
    Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

    1 project | /r/neovim | 11 Jul 2023
    Try out https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint for linting tools, it integrates with nvim diagnostics module, might cover all use cases of null-ls for someone shopping around.

    People looking for alternative can check these projects: - nvim-lint - formatter.nvim
  • Does a language server replace ALE, syntastic, and the language plugin?
    12 projects | /r/neovim | 13 May 2023
    For linting, I would recommend nvim-lint. Again the same step as before, a little bit of setup code to register your linter and you're good to go!
  • ALE now supports Neovim's diagnostics API
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 31 Jan 2023
    This will be the third linting solution to make use of the [Neovim Diagnostic] module after null-ls and nvim-lint. All can co-exist, all have the pros and cons.
  • Linting with ALE with executables in virtual envs
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 29 Dec 2022
    I use nvim-lint (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint), but I still don't know exactly how to achieve your goals with it. My hunch is that it should be somewhat straightforward, since Lua code could be used to provide the executable command (i.e. if in poetry project then cmd =poetry run ...else if ... then ... end)

  • Guide: Structuring Lua plugins
    11 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Nov 2022
    It's not obvious from the website, but this is the blog of GitHub user @mfussenegger, who is a Neovim core member, one of the primary maintainers of Neovim's LSP client implementation, and the other of several excellent plugins.
  • Code Linting
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Nov 2022
    https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint works with the diagnostics API that was created after LSP was added, to allow non-LSP to use diagnostics API. Meaning you can see LSP and linting in the same interfaces if you use this API.
  • Improved Tcl support in Neovim
    1 project | /r/Tcl | 25 Oct 2022
    As part of my work-in-progress Neovim [plugin]([https://github.com/nat-418/tcl.nvim)(https://github.com/nat-418/tcl.nvim)) for Tcl development, I added support for Nagelfar syntax checking in the nvim-lint plugin. This provides inline checking for errors as seen in the attached screenshot. If anyone has any ideas on how to create a Tcl Language Server, or knows of a project already working on one, I would be very interested to know about it.

    I personally don't use this functionality so I can't recommend a specific plugin, but if you search for “treesitter”/“tree-sitter” in this list, you will find several of them:

    16 projects | /r/neovim | 28 Jun 2023
    Does the community have a central repository of all plugins? I’ve used both this repo and neovim craft. If the latter creator has exposed the data via api that’s a fantastic plugin idea.

    > I'm using vim for a long time now, but recently I heard that neovim is noticeably faster. Is that true?

    Yes; of course, YMMV. Even if you use Neovim just like Vim, it's snappier—the refactor resulted in 30% less code.

    > Have most folks switched to neovim by now? Should I care?

    There's two broad groups. Users who have been using Vim for like 20 years and they have a configuration they like and see no reason to change.

    The other group wants all of the new hotness of Language Server Protocol, tree sitter, everything's asynchronous, there's a proper API and lots of new plugins that wouldn't be possible using Vimscript, for the most part.

    Check out https://neovim.io/doc/user/vim_diff.html#nvim-features for details.

    Being a Vim (now Neovim) user for close to 20 years, Neovim has attracted lots of new people to Vim-style editors and they've brought lots of energy. There's also been quite an influx of VS Code users.

    Neovim is not an IDE, but it can support many IDE-like features via plugins written in Lua. There are several Neovim distributions, which you can install quickly and play around without committing to anything [1]. LunaVim, LazyVim and AstroVim are popular Neovim distributions.

    It's important to understand that your existing .vimrc will Just Work if you want to start with that.

    You can get some inspiration in the Awesome Neovim repo. Also, check lazy.nvim's README to see how to actually add and manage your plug-ins.
