An asynchronous linter plugin for Neovim (>= 0.9.5) that spawns external linters, parses their output, and reports results via vim.diagnostic. It complements the built-in LSP client for languages without language servers or where standalone linters give better results.

Use cases

  • run external linters in neovim
  • show lint diagnostics in neovim buffers
  • lint files without a language server
  • complement LSP with standalone linters
  • configure linters per filetype in neovim
  • lint on save with BufWritePost autocmd

When to choose

  • you use Neovim and want lightweight async linting without ALE's bundled LSP client
  • your language lacks a language server or standalone linters give better results
  • you want diagnostics integrated with vim.diagnostic

When to avoid

  • you need a full LSP client alongside linting (use ALE)
  • you don't use Neovim
  • you lint untrusted repositories without sandboxing, since linters execute local executables with your permissions
