VIM Configuration

Configuration is suited to Frontend Development using ReactJS, Typescript, Prettier, eslint and Nodejs. I have used with MacOS only, it will likely break with other OS.

Disclaimer: This configuration is extremely customized to suit my workflow. So, when you clone it and decide to try it please note it will require tons of debugging, painful troubleshooting to get Coc, typescript, javascript, prettier, eslint, nodejs, yarn up and running, unless you know what you doing. In that case, please reach out to me via issues and I will try to help you as much as I can but it can take time.

Plugins

• Coc is used for autocomplete, intellisense
• ALE provides linting using Typescript LSP server
• Syntax highlight support for:
• Typescript, Javascript, jsx, tsx, styled components, Graphql

Tested with

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Apr 13 2020 07:46:23) macOS version

Ubuntu Installation

You might have to upgrade your VIM for some plugins to work properly. Instruction for ubuntu is shown below:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pkg-vim/vim-daily
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

How things are organized in this repository?

• vim-plug is used to manage the plugins. Please, follow its documentation for installation guidance.

Wanna give it a try and see how it works?

• Clone this repository.

$ git clone git@github.com:samundra/dot-vim.git

Rename dot-vim folder to .vim folder. If you already have .vim folder then you might need to adjust accordingly.

### Rename old vim
$ mv ~/.vim ~/.vim-old

### Move new vim
$ mv .vim ~/.vim

• Create symlink to the .vimrc file
• replace {user} with your username in below command.

### Create symlink to .vimrc -> .vim/vimrc file
$ ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Open VI and then install plugins

While opening VI you will get some error for the first time. You can ignore it. Once plugins are installed, those errors will go away.

Open VIM then use :PlugInstall to install Plugins

Verify installation

• Those all are the steps required, now run vim from the terminal and verify that everything is working as expected.
