What's this ?

My .nvim folder with every plugin I use and my own annotated init.vim file

Requirements

• neovim >=0.5
• GNU make
• nodejs (Optional but highly recommended, for javascript/typescript support, typescript, and prettier)

Installation

• Clone this repo anywhere (I use it as a submodule in my init-environment repo, for instance).
• Use GNU make:

$ make install

Plugin Installation

Once the configuration is in place:

Install all plugins via vim-plug:

nvim --headless +PlugInstall +qall

This will pull down all plugins declared in init.vim. You can also do it manually from within nvim:

:PlugInstall

CoC (Conquer of Completion)

CoC is the Language Server Protocol (LSP) integration for Neovim. It's what powers things like autocomplete, go-to-definition, etc.

Recommended CoC Extensions :

Install them with:

nvim --headless +CocInstall\ coc-tsserver coc-prettier coc-json coc-html coc-css +qall

Or from inside nvim:

:CocInstall coc-tsserver coc-prettier coc-json coc-html coc-css

Some popular extensions:

Extension	Description
coc-tsserver	TypeScript and JavaScript support
coc-prettier	Format code with Prettier
coc-json	JSON autocomplete and linting
coc-html	HTML support
coc-css	CSS support

Tip: You can list installed extensions with

:CocList extensions

• For Typescript, install typescript globally (npm install -g typescript) so that Coc can use it. You can also rely on a locally installed (project based) typescript but to benefit from all the tsserver API I find it better to consistently use a global one.
• For Prettier automatic formatting, install prettier globally (npm install -g prettier)
• Don't forget to review the init.vim file ! I took some time to comment why I added stuff here and there's a lot of little things so feel free to own the file. That's what Vim is about after all: owning your editor :)
• Remember that :help is your friend. If you don't understand a setting, or a command, just :help it !

Enjoy !
