Rust and Neovim - A Thorough Guide and Walkthrough

• neovim

  1,384 76,465 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

After extensively trying many text editors and IDEs, I have finally decided and settled on Neovim.

• rust-tools.nvim

  90 2,165 0.0 Lua

  Discontinued Tools for better development in rust using neovim's builtin lsp

rust-tools is a fantastic plugin to setup rust-analyzer with Neovim's LSP .

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• Cargo

  263 11,958 10.0 Rust

  The Rust package manager

  

Access to Cargo commands.

• tree-sitter-rust

  8 307 7.7 JavaScript

  Rust grammar for tree-sitter

  

Tree-sitter is a fantastic parser generation and incremental parsing library, that supports Rust language bindings and has an available parser Rust tree-sitter-rust.

• nvim-dap

  138 4,771 7.9 Lua

  Debug Adapter Protocol client implementation for Neovim

There is also the alternative to use nvim-DAP instead of Vimspector. It looks like a fantastic initiative that is getting traction, but I still have not enabled it in my workflow. Definitely worth a look!

• Lua

  118 7,974 8.5 C

  Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

  

Have basic knowledge about Neovim and Lua:

• rust-analyzer

  132 13,551 10.0 Rust

  A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs

  

rust-analyzer is supported through Neovim's LSP, which essentially give us: Code completion. Some refactoring. Code analysis and linting. Go to definition. Code actions. Access to documentation. Show and go to references. Snippets support. Better syntax highlighting. Code formatting.

• 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.

  

• vimspector

As of today, my prefered method is to use the Vimspector plugin with CodeLLDB.
