• Custom child config of NvChad

Showcase

Requirements

• Install Neovim
• (Optional) Install Nushell my personal favorite shell.
• (Optional) Install Ripgrep Telescope grep improvement.
• Install a NerdFont and set the nerdfont in your preferred terminal.
• NPM is necessary for building one of the plugins.
• If on Windows, Create a System environment variable
  • XDG_CONFIG_HOME = C:/Users/<user>/.config
• Delete old neovim folders:

# Unix Bash 
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim

# Windows Powershell
rm ~/AppData/Local/nvim-data -Recurse -Force

Install

• git clone https://github.com/CSaintos/PDE.git ~/.config/nvim && nvim
• Wait for Lazy to install plugins then wait for Mason to install all lsps, formaters, debuggers, and linters before quiting :qa.
• If you decide to use a shell other than ✨nushell✨, then you will need to update the options.lua file.
  • set sh = to your preferred shell
  • set shellcmdflag = to your shell's command flags (or remove this option)
• Current bug with nushell and Lazy: markdown-preview will need to be installed manually due to unable to invoke nushell.
  • locate markdown-preview in nvim-data/lazy/markdown-preview/app, and run npm install
• (Optional) To get the vue-language-server working you may need to install the vls parser. Execute npm install -g vls
• (Optional) To get the javascript/typescript linting engine to work. Execute npm i -g vscode-langservers-extracted

Language Support

• Various (programming/scripting/markup) languages listed below are supported natively using this configuration.
• The list also gives brief instructions on how to setup these languages on your machine.

LaTeX

• Prerequisites:
  • Install TeX Live (Contains Latex compiler and latexmk (build system))
  • Install Perl Language (Various external plugins, packages, and tools (such as vimtex) of Latex require a native install of Perl)

C++

• Prerequisites:
  • Install a Cpp compiler suite.
    • Windows
      • msys2
      • Start the MSYS2 application, run pacman -Syu to update packages.
      • Install clang: pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt64-x86_64-clang
        • If clang --version isn't working, make sure to add the bin to system path (environment variables)
  • Create a Clangd config.
    • ex:

CompileFlags:
  Compiler: clang++.exe
  Add: ["--target=x86_64-w64-windows-gnu"]
  Remove: -f*
Diagnostics:
  UnusedIncludes: None

• Requirements
  • Any cpp project will need a compile_commands.json (Compilation database)
  • It will be used by clangd (for linting and code completions). So it only needs minimal info as below

[
  {
    "directory": "<absolute_path_to_project_dir>",
    "arguments": [
      "clang++.exe",
      "-I<include_dir>"
    ],
    "file": "./<path_to_any_cpp_file_in_project>.cpp"
  }
]
