nvim-starter VS lsp-zero.nvim

Minimal init.lua.

This one is more of an example config.

nvim-starter - modular

I'm working on a config inspired by features people like about helix. Here's the link: nvim-starter - light

Minimal example config

And to be a bit more specific, the branch 05-modular in nvim-starter is the one that uses all the lazy-loading goodness in lazy.nvim.

Also this one: https://github.com/VonHeikemen/nvim-starter

There is a branch with a minimal setup. I mainly use it for testing but it is a good example.

I have this repo nvim-starter, in there you'll find resources of all kind. There is an example configuration split in several branches, you can see the evolution from a simple config with no plugins to a modular opinionated config (using lazy.nvim). In the config branches you'll also find links to blogposts that explain the code in the repo. Hope that helps.

Here's an example config using it: nvim-starter - lsp-cmp

But all that time, my neovim lua config was a copy of other people's configurations, and in the process I had made a mess, and re-sourcing everything didn't work well. It also dependend on lsp-zero, which is a wrapper around other plugins, that I later learned and understood more.

I'm using lsp-zero and i followed this tutorial https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim/blob/v2.x/doc/md/guides/setup-with-nvim-jdtls.md and i have essentially just copy pasted the code from there into ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugin/jdtls.lua

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.

For those new to neovim, the documentation in lsp-zero has a tutorial that shows a configuration from scratch. It shows how to get a plugin a manager, a colorscheme, and setup lsp-zero.

Try https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim, a great introduction and it is pretty usable without any further config

For neovim, you can still use the same extensions; however there's also a built-in LSP client. The downside of using the built-in is you'll need to have more extensions installed/configured to get all the features out of the box...BUT projects do exist to help simplify that, like lsp-zero.

lap-zero.nvim - default config for nvim-lspconfig, mason.nvim, nvim-cmp.
