nvim-lspinstall VS nvim-compe

A word of caution, I believe lspinstall has been deprecated in favor of nvim-lspinstall which itself has also been deprecated in favor of mason-lspconfig

kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall will aide in installing lsp's if you want. I have chosen not to because I want to have my full setup scripted so when I setup any new machine I just run my ansible-playbook. This library is nice to just set things up quick and play with them.

nvim-lspinstall

I'm trying to edit a lua file, and got this error which I realize is because I didn't have the Lua language server installed. So using the LspInstall plugin, I did :LspInstall lua which was successful.

Once you have it installed, you can configure it following the configuration of this file: https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall/wiki. The part that ia bellow the comment "-- lsp-install" works and it was what I used initially when I didn't really know much about configuring neovim.

I am using lspinstall to install language server. It uses this json-language-server. As the docs says jsonc is supported and it allows comments in jsonc filetypes but the lsp is not showing diagnostic if I make any other syntax error. On line 34 i have removed a comma and still lsp showing no diagnostic error in jsonc file.

You could try to use the instructions that nvim-lspinstall uses to install the tailwindcss language server: https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall/blob/main/lua/lspinstall/servers/tailwindcss.lua (lines 4 - 12)

I use https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe and https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim along with the built in LSP and auto completion works really well. You will want treesitter and all that setup too.

I want to share my code for my migration from nvim-compe (deprecated) to nvim-cmp. Though, I would describe myself as an experienced Vimmer I am not very familiar with the whole Lua thing (although I really appreciate it and hope that Lua's first class citizen can compete with the elisp ecosystem^^).

Wrong, plain and simple. A total misconception.

compe.nvim

For autocomplete/intellisense: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe

But nvim-compe already exists.

completion-nvim OR nvim-compe

Here's some setup idea: - packer for package manager - clangd language server - nvim-lspconfig, required for navigator.lua - navigator.lua for enchanced IDE experience. This is a like adding a sugar to coffee. - completion-nvim OR nvim-compe for enchanching autocomplete & dropdown menu suggestion. - nvim-treesitter for better syntax highlighting. - telescope.nvim for amazing extensible & configurable fuzzy finder, you can also use fzf if you want. - Any custom color scheme you want (preferably one that supports tree sitter, like aurora )
