Neoformat is a Vim/Neovim plugin that formats code buffers using a variety of external formatters per filetype. It reads from the current buffer without requiring a file save and falls back to the next configured formatter on failure.

Use cases

  • format code in vim without saving the file first
  • run prettier or black on the current buffer in neovim
  • auto-format code on save in vim
  • format a visual selection of code in a different filetype
  • define custom formatters for a filetype in vim

When to choose

  • you use Vim or Neovim and want buffer-aware code formatting
  • you want formatter fallback chains per filetype
  • you need to preserve marks, jumps, and undo history when formatting

When to avoid

  • you use a different editor like VS Code or Emacs
  • you want an LSP-based formatting solution built into Neovim's native client
