Installation

If using vim-plug (for Vim or Neovim)

• Open vim config
• Write Plug 'ziglang/zig.vim' inside the plug command:

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
   Plug 'ziglang/zig.vim'
call plug#end()

• Restart vim / reload vim config
• type :PlugInstall

If using Vim:

• Use Vim 8 or newer
• mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/
• cd ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/
• git clone https://github.com/ziglang/zig.vim

If using Neovim:

Configuration

This plugin enables automatic code formatting on save by default using zig fmt. To disable it, you can use this configuration in vimrc:

let g:zig_fmt_autosave = 0

If zig fmt encounters a code formatting error, this plugin populates the location list with relevant errors. To disable automatically switching to the location list, use this configuration in vimrc:

let g:zig_fmt_autoswitch = 0

The default compiler which gets used by :make (:help :compiler for details) is zig_build and it runs zig build. The other options are:

• :compiler zig_test which runs zig test on the current file.
• :compiler zig_build_exe which runs zig build-exe on the current file.
• :compiler zig which requires that a subcommand is passed as an argument and it runs on the current file.
