typescript-vim VS vim-closetag

There is a built in feature to this called :h :make (not to be confused with the build tool gnu make) which uses the :h 'makeprg' option which can be set per language usually done in the compiler folder of language syntax plugins, like here or here

This immediately went away after I've installed typescript-vim, which provides syntax highlighting and other basic handling of TypeScript files. This immediately made vim work great with my TypeScript projects.

vim-typescript - TypeScript support

I gave this plugin a shot, but ended up going back to https://github.com/alvan/vim-closetag

Community is so new, you might find that the lua equivalent of whatever vim plugin you already use is poorly maintained or has too many bugs by virtue of it being new. Of course neovim accepts vim plugins but the whole elevator pitch of neovim is "everything lua". One example of this in my case is something as simple as a close-tag for html/xml. Back when I used vim I use, and continue to use this repo to close html tags. Built by vim user for vim users. I couldn't get my lua equivalent nvim-ts-autotag to work for jsx. Perhaps that is a me issue (probably is) but just goes to show that sometimes you have to wrestle to acquire things you already have in your vim setup.

I use vim-closetag for correct indentation after opening the tags. It works for me, so maybe it will work for you!

I don't know what exactly you mean, but for xml/html I use https://github.com/alvan/vim-closetag

I've been using the vim-closetag plugin. There might be better alternatives though.

vim-closetag - automatically closes XML/HTML tags

Yes, I use the vim-closetag plugin and good syntax highlighting and that does the trick for me.
