vim-localvimrc VS editorconfig-vim

A big part of 'project awareness' implies (to me at least!) that a project is organized in some meaningful way: test/view/model/service/domain files all relate to one another by their naming conventions and location in the project tree.When I start/join a project I look for documentation of the project's structure (or document it myself!). Then for vim:- use https://github.com/embear/vim-localvimrc - drop a .vimrc in the project so I can tweak vim to suit the project.

Something like Localvimrc?

Project-specific editor config: vim-localvimrc, vim-addon-local-vimrc

Is vim modeline a good way to do it? What do you think about that solution: https://github.com/embear/vim-localvimrc?

This is pretty much the last one, but with available commands. One I find particularly useful is LocalVimRCCleanup. I'm not sure how common of a use-case this is, but AutoSource stores the hashes of each file you approved, and a common command I run while testing is rm ~/.autosource_hashdir/* :p

Nice video. I have a similar approach for isolating project specific commands and configurations. I may borrow your idea for a project specific menu to run tasks. For a project dedicated vimrc I use embear/vim-localvimrc for a few years because it has auto discovery and auto change directory for a project, and require confirmation for loading the vimrc file.

These are tools that you need to add. But the most elemental code formatting is not here, it is in the widely supported .editorconfig file.

Hello,

Maybe you should check this project:

https://editorconfig.org/

Regards,

editorconfigchecker. A linter that checks files for compliance with editorconfig rules. Another linter that helps maintain consistency in the format of all files.

Oh, yeah, we had that issue too and solved it pretty successfully with `.editorconfig` (shareable between VScode and IntelliJ, https://editorconfig.org/) combined with `prettier`.

Each IDE is configured to:

- Not reformat code on its own

- Ignore whitespace

- Run `prettier` as a pre-commit hook

Those settings are saved to `.editorconfig` where possible, or to each IDE's repo-specific folder (e.g. `.idea`).

Then in theory each developer can use whatever IDE they want, whatever whitespace settings they want (tabs vs spaces), and the end code committed to the repo is still the same.

I am aware of .editorconfig, and one day that may be the correct answer but the specification does not support every element of the styles of both oss and css.

Does this mean I can completely get rid of this plugin?: https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-vim

I dunno who downvoted your question, but I believe you can use .editorconfig to set that up for you.
