Elixir support about neovim-flake HOT 15 CLOSED

@RooSoft elixir support should be now available on the feature/elixir branch, tracked by this pull request. It is mostly done, but before I can merge it could you test it with running the maximal configuration on that specific branch?

*Edit: you can also try pinning the branch in your flake inputs and install with home-manager as described in the docs.

I'd be happy to enable more language support in the near feature, possibly (and preferably) before the release of 0.3.

However I am not too familiar with Elixir, could you elaborate on which Neovim plugins/LSPs/extra packages from nixpkgs would be necessary to make this possible?

from neovim-flake.

Still have to use this thing, but elixir-ls seems to be the language server.

For elixir itself, elixir would do it.

Now, that's for elixir itself, I still have to understand how to enable LSP in this project, but would gladly do my best to help if I can have some pointers about where to start...

I found out about mason...

Would it be a good idea to integrate it here? Would be awesome to use it and install whatever language through its integrated menu straight into neovim.

from neovim-flake.

I'm aware of the existence of mason. I'm afraid I have absolutely no plans to integrate it, as the aim here is to be absolutely declarative and mason would go against that, similar to plugin managers.

What we can use is elixir-ls in combination with the already set-up lspconfig and nvim-cmp. According to a few articles I've found online, those are enough for elixir development on neovim.

Makes sense... anything I can do to help make this a reality?

from neovim-flake.

I intend on getting to it soon, possibly monday latest.

If you'd like to implement it yourself, faster than I can, you could try looking at other lsp implementations and try to implement elixir yourself.

The elixir languagesever is in nixpkgs, it'd be a matter of adding it to startup-plugins (which takes packages as well) and then configuring the lspconfig plugin as well as nvim-cmp - both are available in the modules/directory.

Side note, please do let me know if you'd also like me to add https://github.com/brendalf/mix.nvim

I don't normally use Elixir, but I'd like to provide everything the user needs.

I've tried nix run github:notashelf/neovim-flake#maximal but the .ex and .exs files I've tried from the bitcoinlib project still don't show with syntax highlighting...

Am I doing something wrong here?

from neovim-flake.

Most probably no, oughta be a problem on my end.

Could you link me a small project that preferably has no external dependencies that I can test on?

from neovim-flake.

Pushed another commit, which also adds elixir-tools.

The project does seem highlgihted to me and the LSP diagnostics do make me think it is syntax highlighting, but do let me know!

from neovim-flake.

If you are pinning your flake inputs, you'll need to run a quick nix flake lock --update-input neovim-flake before rebuilding in order to get it working.

Do note that running nix run github:notashelf/neovim-flake#maximal will use the main branch of this flake, which is not yet supporting elixir.

You will also want to specific a branch in the nix run.

looks like syntax highlighting is working on the elixir branch

from neovim-flake.

Yeah, it's totally working with nix develop github:NotAShelf/neovim-flake/feature/elixir!

Thanks!
