This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/neovim

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • nvim-lspconfig

    Quickstart configs for Nvim LSP

  • The lspconfig readme

  • kickstart.nvim

    A launch point for your personal nvim configuration

  • I set up my starter init.lua to show you how to get snippet support + autocompletion working with LSP

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • typescript-language-server

    TypeScript & JavaScript Language Server

  • Typescript server support is not as good as coc.nvim, we have to use the theia-wrapper around tsserver because it is non-standard/does not follow the LSP specification. I'm currently looking into some performance implications unique to theia and will likely have news soon, but I don't use javascript.

  • LunarVim

    🌙 LunarVim is an IDE layer for Neovim. Completely free and community driven.

  • I know a lot of you are interested in/using LunarVim. I've been hanging out in the discord and trying to answer questions/collect feedback.

  • nvim-lspinstall

    Discontinued Provides the missing :LspInstall for nvim-lspconfig

  • If you really want/need installation of language servers from within neovim, there is nvim-lspinstall. Note, this uses the configurations from lspconfig so please contribute changes to lspconfig rather than lspinstall.

  • nvim-lint

    An asynchronous linter plugin for Neovim complementary to the built-in Language Server Protocol support.

  • Many of you are using EFM to use additional linters/diagnostics not provided by a server. There are two additional projects you should check out. nvim-lint and null-ls are basically lua/in-process wrappers of CLI linters/formatters (in the case of null-ls) that can run in-process (currently for nvim-lint, soon for null-ls) and are extremely customizable.

  • null-ls.nvim

    Discontinued Use Neovim as a language server to inject LSP diagnostics, code actions, and more via Lua.
