Hello, I’m a developer wanting to change from VSCode to Neovim. I’ve been using a Neovim extension for VSCode, so I know how to drive it to some extent.

I work with:

  • Rust
  • Typescript
  • React

I’m happy to use default NVim mostly with:

  • ctags
  • ins-completion
  • netrwtreelisting

I want to keep things really simple and use defaults when reasonable.

I basically just want to know how to set up Rust analyser and (for ts) prettier/eslint.

Questions:

  • Should I use a nvim conf file or lua? I’m happy to learn Lua if it’s recommended.
  • If I need packages for the above functionality, which package manager is best (excuse the imprecise terminology)?
  • Any additional recommendations?

Thank you.

    • Yes, definitely use lua. You don’t need to learn much, you can learn as you go
    • I’d recommend lazy.nvim as a plugin manager

    In fact, just start with kickstart.nvim. It is a starter config which is well documented and all in one file. It is a great starting point and you can then build from there. I’d recommend learning how to modularize and start moving stuff for separate concerns into separate files.
