Language Support

Language specific support means there is a combination of language specific plugins, treesitter support, nvim-lspconfig language servers, and null-ls integration. This gets you capabilities ranging from autocompletion to formatting to diagnostics. The following languages have sections under the vim.languages attribute.

Adding support for more languages, and improving support for existing ones are great places where you can contribute with a PR.

LSP Custom Packages/Command

One of the strengths of nvf is convenient aliases to quickly configure LSP servers through the Nix module system. By default the LSP packages for relevant language modules will be pulled into the closure. If this is not desirable, you may provide a custom LSP package (e.g., a Bash script that calls a command) or a list of strings to be interpreted as the command to launch the language server. By using a list of strings, you can use this to skip automatic installation of a language server, and instead use the one found in your $ PATH during runtime, for example:

vim.languages.java = {
  lsp = {
    enable = true;

    # This expects 'jdt-language-server' to be in your PATH or in
    # 'vim.extraPackages.' There are no additional checks performed to see
    # if the command provided is valid.
    package = ["jdt-language-server" "-data" "~/.cache/jdtls/workspace"];
  };
}
