rust setup in vim
To set up Rust in Vim, you can follow these steps:
Install Rust: First, you need to install Rust on your system. You can do this by visiting the official Rust website and following the installation instructions for your operating system.
Install the Rust Language Server (RLS): The Rust Language Server provides IDE-like features for Rust development. To install it, open a terminal and run the following command:
$ rustup component add rls rust-analysis rust-src
- Install the rust.vim plugin: The rust.vim plugin provides syntax highlighting and other features specific to Rust programming in Vim. You can install it using a plugin manager like Vundle or Pathogen.
For example, if you're using Vundle, add the following line to your ~/.vimrc
file:
Plugin 'rust-lang/rust.vim'
Then, run :PluginInstall
in Vim to install the plugin.
- Configure Vim for Rust: To enable the Rust-specific features in Vim, you need to add some configuration to your
~/.vimrc
file. Here's an example configuration:
" Enable syntax highlighting
syntax enable
" Enable filetype detection for Rust
filetype plugin indent on
" Set the Rust compiler command
let g:rustfmt_command = "rustfmt"
" Use the RLS for code completion and other features
let g:rustfmt_autosave = 1
let g:rustfmt_on_save = 1
let g:rustfmt_rust_nightly = 1
let g:rustfmt_use_rustfmt_config_toml = 1
Customize the configuration based on your preferences.
That's it! You should now have Rust set up in Vim. You can start writing and editing Rust code with syntax highlighting and other Rust-specific features.
