A Basic Stable IDE config for Neovim

Why does this repo exist?

This config attempts to provide a rock solid fully featured starting point for someone new to Neovim, or just tired of maintaining the basic IDE components of their config.

What makes it "rock solid"?

All the included plugins are pinned to a version that ensures they are compatible and will not update potentially introducing errors into your config. For every Neovim release I will update this repo along with the community to keep it up to date with the newest versions.

As I mentioned, this config is meant as a starting point for people new to Neovim who want a familiar IDE experience. The config has a very simple structure that makes it easy to add new plugins.

Install Neovim 0.9

You can install Neovim with your package manager e.g. brew, apt, pacman etc.. but remember that when you update your packages Neovim may be upgraded to a newer version.

If you would like to make sure Neovim only updates when you want it to than I recommend installing from source:

NOTE Verify the required build prerequisites for your system.

git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git
cd neovim
git checkout release-0.9
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo make install

Install the config

Make sure to remove or backup your current nvim directory

git clone https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide.git ~/.config/nvim

Run nvim and wait for the plugins to be installed

NOTE (You will notice treesitter pulling in a bunch of parsers the next time you open Neovim)

NOTE Checkout this file for some predefined keymaps: keymaps

Get healthy

Open nvim and enter the following:

:checkhealth

You'll probably notice you don't have support for copy/paste also that python and node haven't been setup

So let's fix that

First we'll fix copy/paste

  • On mac pbcopy should be builtin

  • On Ubuntu

    sudo apt install xsel # for X11
    sudo apt install wl-clipboard # for wayland

Next we need to install python support (node is optional)

  • Neovim python support

    pip install pynvim
  • Neovim node support

    npm i -g neovim

We will also need ripgrep for Telescope to work:

  • Ripgrep

    sudo apt install ripgrep

NOTE make sure you have node installed, I recommend a node manager like fnm.

Fonts

I recommend using the following repo to get a "Nerd Font" (Font that supports icons)

getnf

Configuration

LSP

To add a new LSP

First Enter:

:Mason

and press i on the Language Server you wish to install

Next you will need to add the server to this list: servers Note: Builtin LSP doesn't contain all lsps from nvim-lspconfig.

If you want to install any from there, for example terraform_lsp(which adds more functionality than terraformls, like complete resource listing),

  1. You can add the lsp name in mason lsp block
-- lua/utils/init.lua
M.servers = {
	"lua_ls",
	"cssls",
	"html",
	"tsserver",
	"pyright",
	"bashls",
	"jsonls",
	"yamlls",
    "terraform_lsp" -- New LSP
}
  1. Manually install the binary of the lsp and put it in your path by downloading the binary or through your package manager. For terraform_lsp example

Formatters and linters

Make sure the formatter or linter is installed and add it to this setup function: null-ls

NOTE Some are already setup as examples, remove them if you want

Plugins

You can install new plugins here: plugins

Just make a new file with your plugin and the configuration in it, Which-key file is a very good example of how you would do it.
