  • 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.
  • null-ls will be archived
    14 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Jul 2023
    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)
  • ALE alternative in Lua
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 16 Dec 2022
  • 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.
  • How to do syntax checking on languages that don't have an LSP server in neovim?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 30 Sep 2022
    You could use null-ls as an interface between Neovim LSP client and this kind of tools. If this tools are linters, you could also use nvim-lint
  • rust-analyzer autocmd error AND custom nvim-lint error with cargo check
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 27 Sep 2022
    I have both https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim and https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint configured and I started noticing something that was working before had suddenly become broken, and it's not clear what changes I've made to my config (https://github.com/Integralist/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim) that would have caused this error.
