Making a proper init.lua (For real this time!)

#vim #lua #programming #productivity

TL;DR

Just the config? Click here.

Aim

Our aim is to create a single file configuration for Neovim. There are too many tutorials on nEsTeD cOnFiGs. Real men use a single file to configure an entire editor 😤.

Flat is better than nested.
― The Zen of Python

Setting up Packer

Downloading

First, we are going to install Packer on our system.

local install_path = vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim'

if vim.fn.empty(vim.fn.glob(install_path)) > 0 then
  vim.fn.execute(
    '!git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim ' .. install_path
  )
end
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

There are three things involved here:

  1. Specifying where to install Packer.
  2. Checking if the installation directory is already empty.
  3. Using Git to download Packer.

Building Packer's Lazy Loader

Next, we tell Neovim to call PackerCompile every time the buffer has been written to.

vim.cmd [[
augroup Packer
  autocmd!
  autocmd BufWritePost init.lua PackerCompile
augroup end
]]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What PackerCompile does is not essential for us to know at this stage.

Installing Plugins

We need two things for installing packages. The packer.use() function, and the packer.startup() function.

Note that the packer.startup() function takes a callable as an argument.

use = require("packer").use
require("packer").startup(function()
  -- Package manager
  use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'

  -- our plugins go here!
end)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now we can start filling the body of the callable.

Adding Packages

For starters, we need two things. One, something to set up Neovim's native LSP Client and two, something to download actual Language Servers.

LSP Client and Installer

You don't need to understand what LSP is. Just know that it allows you to use IDE like features like autocompletion, error checking and code suggestions.

use = require("packer").use
require("packer").startup(function()
  -- ...
  -- LSP Client
  use 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'

  -- Language Server installer
  use {
    'williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer',
    requires = 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig',
  }

  -- BONUS: Customizations over LSP
  -- Show VSCode-esque pictograms
  use 'onsails/lspkind-nvim'
  -- show various elements of LSP as UI
  use {'tami5/lspsaga.nvim', requires = {'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'}}
  -- ...
end)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

But note that LSP alone does not provide the cool features like code completion, hints etc. We need a separate autocomplete engine plugin for that.

Autocompletion Engine

For an autocompletion engine, we are going to use nvim-cmp. As a bonus, we will also configure it with extra plugins like snippet expansion, Vim command autocompletion, buffer completion etc.

-- ...
require("packer").setup(function()
  -- ...
  -- Autocompletion plugin
  use {
    'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp',
    requires = {
      'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp',
      'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer',
      'hrsh7th/cmp-path',
      'hrsh7th/cmp-cmdline',
    }
  }

  -- snippets
  use {
    'hrsh7th/cmp-vsnip', requires = {
      'hrsh7th/vim-vsnip',
      'rafamadriz/friendly-snippets',
    }
  }
  -- ...
end)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Auto bracket pairing

Let neovim close the brackets for you.

-- ...
require("packer").setup(function()
  -- ...
  -- bracket autocompletion
  use 'vim-scripts/auto-pairs-gentle'
  -- ...
end)
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Statusline

Nothing better than a fast and feature-packed statusline.

-- ...
require("packer").setup(function()
  -- ...
  -- Fancier statusline
  use {
    'nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim',
    requires = {
      'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons',
      'arkav/lualine-lsp-progress',
    },
  }
  -- ...
end)
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Incremental Parsing

We will also use an incremental parsing library for Neovim.

-- ...
require("packer").setup(function()
  -- ...
  -- Fast incremental parsing library
  use 'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'
  -- ...
end)
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And a Treesitter powered colorscheme ✨ 

-- ...
require("packer").setup(function()
  -- ...
  -- Beautiful colorscheme
  use 'navarasu/onedark.nvim'
end)
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Configuring Essential Neovim Options

Not much is here to describe. They will later prove to be useful once you start editing stuff.

-- ...
-- Do not show current vim mode since it is already shown by Lualine
vim.o.showmode = false

-- enable autowriteall
vim.o.autowriteall = true

-- Show the line numbers
vim.wo.number = true

-- Show chars at the end of line
vim.opt.list = true

-- Enable break indent
vim.o.breakindent = true

--Case insensitive searching UNLESS /C or capital in search
vim.o.ignorecase = true
vim.o.smartcase = true

-- Decrease update time
vim.o.updatetime = 250

-- Shows signs by Autocompletion plugin
vim.wo.signcolumn = 'yes'

-- Enable termguicolors. Very essential if you want 24-bit RGB color in TUI.
vim.o.termguicolors = true

-- Set completeopt to have a better completion experience
vim.o.completeopt = 'menu,menuone'

--Remap for dealing with word wrap
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'k', "v:count == 0 ? 'gk' : 'k'", { noremap = true, expr = true, silent = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'j', "v:count == 0 ? 'gj' : 'j'", { noremap = true, expr = true, silent = true })

-- Highlight on yank
vim.cmd [[
augroup YankHighlight
autocmd!
autocmd TextYankPost * silent! lua vim.highlight.on_yank()
augroup end
]]
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Configuring Plugins

Now comes the big part. We will configure each plugin and set it up properly.

LSP Client and Installer

First, we import the required plugins. Then, we list the Language Servers that we need. Feel free to add or remove items from the list!

-- ...
require('lspconfig')
local lsp_installer = require("nvim-lsp-installer")

-- The required servers
local servers = {
  "bashls",
  "pyright",
  "rust_analyzer",
  "sumneko_lua",
  "html",
  "clangd",
  "vimls",
  "emmet_ls",
}
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next we tell nvim-lsp-installer to autoinstall the required servers.

-- ...
for _, name in pairs(servers) do
  local server_is_found, server = lsp_installer.get_server(name)
  if server_is_found and not server:is_installed() then
    print("Installing " .. name)
    server:install()
  end
end
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Sweet! Now we can configure the essential keymaps. The on_attach() function given below hosts the keymaps and options that will be enabled only in the presence of an active Language Server.

Almost all of the keymaps are compatible with coc.nvim. So for those of you who are migrating from coc.nvim, you won't have to change anything!

Here, we are going to use our beloved lspsaga for fancy UI over LSP!

-- ...
local on_attach = function(_, bufnr)
  -- Create some shortcut functions.
  -- NOTE: The `vim` variable is supplied by Neovim.
  local function buf_set_keymap(...)
    vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(bufnr, ...)
  end
  local function buf_set_option(...)
    vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(bufnr, ...)
  end

  -- Enable completion triggered by <c-x><c-o>
  buf_set_option('omnifunc', 'v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc')

  local opts = {noremap=true, silent=true}

  -- ======================= The Keymaps =========================
  -- jump to definition
  buf_set_keymap('n', 'gd', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>', opts)

  -- Format buffer
  buf_set_keymap('n', '<F3>', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting()<CR>', opts)

  -- Jump LSP diagnostics
  -- NOTE: Currently, there is a bug in lspsaga.diagnostic module. Thus we use
  --       Vim commands to move through diagnostics.
  buf_set_keymap('n', '[g', ':Lspsaga diagnostic_jump_prev<CR>', opts)
  buf_set_keymap('n', ']g', ':Lspsaga diagnostic_jump_next<CR>', opts)

  -- Rename symbol
  buf_set_keymap('n', '<leader>rn', "<cmd>lua require('lspsaga.rename').rename()<CR>", opts)

  -- Find references
  buf_set_keymap('n', 'gr', '<cmd>lua require("lspsaga.provider").lsp_finder()<CR>', opts)

  -- Doc popup scrolling
  buf_set_keymap('n', 'K', "<cmd>lua require('lspsaga.hover').render_hover_doc()<CR>", opts)
  buf_set_keymap('n', '<C-f>', "<cmd>lua require('lspsaga.action').smart_scroll_with_saga(1)<CR>", opts)
  buf_set_keymap('n', '<C-b>', "<cmd>lua require('lspsaga.action').smart_scroll_with_saga(-1)<CR>", opts)

  -- codeaction
  buf_set_keymap('n', '<leader>ac', "<cmd>lua require('lspsaga.codeaction').code_action()<CR>", opts)
  buf_set_keymap('v', '<leader>a', ":<C-U>lua require('lspsaga.codeaction').range_code_action()<CR>", opts)

  -- Floating terminal
  -- NOTE: Use `vim.cmd` since `buf_set_keymap` is not working with `tnoremap...`
  vim.cmd [[
  nnoremap <silent> <A-d> <cmd>lua require('lspsaga.floaterm').open_float_terminal()<CR>
  tnoremap <silent> <A-d> <C-\><C-n>:lua require('lspsaga.floaterm').close_float_terminal()<CR>
  ]]
end
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now that we have configured our keymaps, we are going to add some server specific options. Here a default is provided. Don't worry if it looks intimidating. You will soon find out how it works.

-- ...
local server_specific_opts = {
  sumneko_lua = function(opts)
    opts.settings = {
      Lua = {
        -- NOTE: This is required for expansion of lua function signatures!
        completion = {callSnippet = "Replace"},
        diagnostics = {
          globals = {'vim'},
        },
      },
    }
  end,

  html = function(opts)
    opts.filetypes = {"html", "htmldjango"}
  end,
}
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now we instruct nvim-lsp-installer to supply the on_attach, extra flags and server specific options to the Language Server once it is ready.

We will also use the feature rich nvim-cmp plugin for its extra capabilities.

-- ...
-- `nvim-cmp` comes with additional capabilities, alongside the ones
-- provided by Neovim!
local capabilities = vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()
capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').update_capabilities(capabilities)

lsp_installer.on_server_ready(function(server)
  -- the keymaps, flags and capabilities that will be sent to the server as
  -- options.
  local opts = {
    on_attach = on_attach,
    flags = {debounce_text_changes = 150},
    capabilities = capabilities,
  }

  -- If the current surver's name matches with the ones specified in the
  -- `server_specific_opts`, set the options.
  if server_specific_opts[server.name] then
    server_specific_opts[server.name](opts)
  end

  -- And set up the server with our configuration!
  server:setup(opts)
end)
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Cool! Now that we have set up the server and configured it properly, we should set the autocompletion plugin too!

Auotcompletion Plugin

Now it's time to set up the autocompletion plugin. We will start by importing the plugin and defining some helper functions.

-- ...
local lspkind = require('lspkind')
local cmp = require("cmp")

local has_words_before = function()
  local line, col = unpack(vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0))
  return col ~= 0 and vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines(0, line - 1, line, true)[1]:sub(col, col):match("%s") == nil
end

local feedkey = function(key, mode)
  vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(vim.api.nvim_replace_termcodes(key, true, true, true), mode, true)
end
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next, we will define some beautiful glyphs. These glyphs will then be shown by lspkind.

-- ...
local cmp_kinds = {
  Text = "",
  Method = "",
  Function = "",
  Constructor = "",
  Field = "ﰠ",
  Variable = "",
  Class = "ﴯ",
  Interface = "",
  Module = "",
  Property = "ﰠ",
  Unit = "塞",
  Value = "",
  Enum = "",
  Keyword = "",
  Snippet = "",
  Color = "",
  File = "",
  Reference = "",
  Folder = "",
  EnumMember = "",
  Constant = "",
  Struct = "פּ",
  Event = "",
  Operator = "",
  TypeParameter = "",
}
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next we set up formatting (and by extension, lspkind), snippet support, completion keymaps and completion sources.

This is where all our configuration for nvim-cmp will go:

-- ...
cmp.setup({
  -- Add your configuration here!
})
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

First, the snippet support. Note that this is mandatory.

-- ...
cmp.setup({
  snippet = {
    expand = function(args)
      vim.fn["vsnip#anonymous"](args.body)
    end,
  },
  -- ...
})
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next, the formatting.

-- ...
cmp.setup({
  -- ...
  formatting = {
    format = lspkind.cmp_format({
      with_text = true,
      preset = 'codicons',
      symbol_map = cmp_kinds, -- The glyphs will be used by `lspkind`
      menu = ({
        buffer = "[Buffer]",
        nvim_lsp = "[LSP]",
        luasnip = "[LuaSnip]",
        nvim_lua = "[Lua]",
        latex_symbols = "[Latex]",
      }),
    }),
  },
  -- ...
})
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Third, the custom keymaps for autocompletion suggestions. Feel free to change the keymaps as required. Note that the Tab key has been set up in such a way that you can use it to browse through the completion suggestions.

-- ...
cmp.setup({
  -- ...
  mapping = {
    ['<C-p>'] = cmp.mapping.select_prev_item(),
    ['<C-n>'] = cmp.mapping.select_next_item(),
    ['<C-d>'] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(-4),
    ['<C-f>'] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(4),
    ['<C-Space>'] = cmp.mapping.complete(),
    ['<C-e>'] = cmp.mapping.close(),
    ['<CR>'] = cmp.mapping.confirm {
      behavior = cmp.ConfirmBehavior.Replace,
      select = true,
    },

    -- Use Tab and Shift-Tab to browse through the suggestions.
    ["<Tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
      if cmp.visible() then
        cmp.select_next_item()
      elseif vim.fn["vsnip#available"](1) == 1 then
        feedkey("<Plug>(vsnip-expand-or-jump)", "")
      elseif has_words_before() then
        cmp.complete()
      else
        fallback()
      end
    end, { "i", "s" }),

    ["<S-Tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function()
      if cmp.visible() then
        cmp.select_prev_item()
      elseif vim.fn["vsnip#jumpable"](-1) == 1 then
        feedkey("<Plug>(vsnip-jump-prev)", "")
      end
    end, { "i", "s" }),
  },
  -- ...
})
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And finally, we specify the completion sources.

-- ...
cmp.setup({
  -- ...
  sources = {
    { name = 'nvim_lsp' },
    { name = 'vsnip' },
    { name = 'buffer' },
  },
})
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And finally, we will also configure autocompletion for Vim commands and Vim search.

-- ...
-- Use buffer source for `/`
cmp.setup.cmdline('/', {
  sources = {
    { name = 'buffer' }
  }
})

-- Use cmdline & path source for ':'
cmp.setup.cmdline(':', {
  sources = cmp.config.sources({
    { name = 'path' }
  }, {
    { name = 'cmdline' }
  })
})
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Wow! That was a loooot of work for a simple autocompletion plugin's configuration. But, as we will see, our hard work will pay off!

Next, we configure the remaining plugins.

Auto Bracket Pairing

Save yourself some keystrokes!

-- ...
vim.g.AutoPairs = {
  ['(']=')',
  ['[']=']',
  ['{']='}',
  ["'"]="'",
  ['"']='"',
  ['`']='`',
  ['<']='>',
}
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Colorscheme ✨

Bless your eyes.

-- ...
require("onedark").setup({
  style = "darker",
})
require('onedark').load()
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Status bar

A status bar that can change its colour automatically based on the colorscheme? Yes please!

-- ...
require('lualine').setup({
  sections = {
    lualine_c = {
      {'filename', path = 1},
      'lsp_progress',
    },
  },
})
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Treesitter

We will set up treesitter for a select number of languages. Feel free to add or remove items from the list.

-- ...
require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup {
  ensure_installed = {"python", "rust", "c", "cpp", "bash", "go", "html"},
  highlight = {
    enable = true, -- false will disable the whole extension
  },
}
-- ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

LSPSaga

And finally, we set up some configs for LSPSaga.

-- ...
require("lspsaga").init_lsp_saga({
  finder_action_keys = {
    open = '<CR>',
    quit = {'q', '<esc>'},
  },
  code_action_keys = {
    quit = {'q', '<esc>'},
  },
  rename_action_keys = {
    quit = '<esc>',
  },
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What to do next

Make sure you run :PackerInstall once you run Neovim after configuring the init.lua script. It will download all the configured plugins. And as a word of advice, run :PackerUpdate from time to time.
