vim-autoformat VS format.nvim

You can then make a vim mapping to the executable or get something like https://github.com/vim-autoformat/vim-autoformat To make setting up (multiple) formatters a little easier.

I have been using vim for much much time now. Everything is going well but every time I want to format my code I got stuck. I have tried many plugins like vim-autoformat which is not formatting correctly (not the major filetypes like JSX, TSX), vim-prettier which is very slow and I have to wait some seconds to get the file formatted correctly, coc-prettier this was my favorite but I shifted to LSP so no usage of this plugin now.

I use the vim-autoformat plugin.

There are plenty of code-formatting plugins, like auto-format and neoformat, for vim. But all of them require running a certain command or using :w to trigger formating.

# Using vim as a laravel developer Ok, using vim as a phpstorm replacment, this is prettyyyy close. Here are the steps and the useful parts to know. # First things first, install awesome-vim, this gets 90% of the stuff you need and its maintained git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh # Next I'd say you're going to want phpunit baked in and here is an awesome plugin for that: git clone https://github.com/c9s/phpunit.vim.git ~/.vim_runtime/my_plugins/phpunit.vim # Run inside vim: -- this will let you click and drag panes to resize or jump between (learning vim more and being able to jump panes # makes this unecessary, but i'm not that good yet.) :set mouse=a # So now some sections on easy key commands/shortcuts ## Splitting VIM screen Horizontally and Vertically To open a new VIM window next to the existing one, press + then press . ## Move panes around vim (left/right or top/bottom) Ctrl w + L - Move the current window to the "far right" Ctrl w + H - Move the current window to the "far left" Ctrl w + J - Move the current window to the "very bottom" Ctrl w + K - Move the current window to the "very top" ## Copying everything into clipboard gg"*yG ## Indenting all the code # Still need to look into a more serious formatter like: https://github.com/vim-autoformat/vim-autoformat gg=G # AwesomeVIM Leader Key Shortcut You'll see vim plugins mention , that for awesome view is "," so whenever you see leader hit that key. ## phpunit ### Set the path of phpunit (most cases for me, vendor/bin/phpunit) let g:phpunit_bin = 'phpunit' ### Shortcuts ta - Run all test cases ts - Switch between source & test file tf - Run current test case class # Folding `zo` to open folding `zc` to close folding # NerdTREE nn - Toggles NerdTREE While inside NerdTREE hit "m" to do a number of modifications from renaming, deleting or adding files. # Terminal Typing ":term" will open a terminal pane similar to phpstorm. Of course you can reference https://github.com/amix/vimrc for more tips and tricks, such as w to write a file or to fuzzy search for a file.

I use Chiel92/vim-autoformat it will work with most popular code formatters out of the box. I have it setup so that it autoformats on save. It's also popular and kept up to date. My config looks like:

To format on save you need to install format https://github.com/lukas-reineke/format.nvim

For formatting, written in lua, there is formatter.nvim and format.nvim. These are also great plugin but are low level, where you still need you to provide some bindings for the linter/formatter of your choice.

format.nvim is really nice. It's flexible to configure and async
