vim-vue-plugin

Vim syntax and indent plugin for .vue files. Mainly inspired by mxw/vim-jsx.

Installation

How to install

• VundleVim

    Plugin 'leafOfTree/vim-vue-plugin'
  

• vim-pathogen

    cd ~/.vim/bundle && \
    git clone https://github.com/leafOfTree/vim-vue-plugin --depth 1
  

• vim-plug

    Plug 'leafOfTree/vim-vue-plugin'
    :PlugInstall
  

• Or manually, clone this plugin to path/to/this_plugin, and add it to rtp in vimrc

    set rtp+=path/to/this_plugin
  

This plugin works if it has set filetype to vue. Please stay up to date. Feel free to open an issue or pull request.

How it works

Since .vue is a combination of CSS, HTML and JavaScript, so is vim-vue-plugin. (Like XML and JavaScript for .jsx).

Supports

• Vue attribute(directive) and keyword.^

• Less/Sass/Scss, Pug with vim-pug, Coffee with vim-coffee-script, TypeScript with typescript-vim or yats.vim, Stylus with vim-stylus. ^

  Relative plugins need to be installed.

• A builtin foldexpr foldmethod.^

• emmet-vim HTML/CSS/JavaScript filetype detection.

• .wpy files from WePY.

^: see Configuration for details.

Configuration

Set global variable to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Ex:

let g:vim_vue_plugin_load_full_syntax = 1

variable	description	default
g:vim_vue_plugin_load_full_syntax*	Enable: load all syntax files in runtimepath to enable related syntax plugins. Disable: only in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax, ~/.vim/syntax and $VIM/vimfiles/syntax.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_pug*	Enable pug syntax for <template lang="pug">.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_coffee	Enable coffee syntax for <script lang="coffee">.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_typescript	Enable typescript syntax for <script lang="ts">.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_less	Enable less syntax for <style lang="less">.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_sass	Enable sass syntax for <style lang="scss|sass">.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_scss	Enable scss syntax for <style lang="scss">.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_stylus	Enable stylus syntax for <style lang="stylus">.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_has_init_indent	Initially indent one tab inside style/script tags.	0+
g:vim_vue_plugin_highlight_vue_attr	Highlight vue attribute value as expression instead of string.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_highlight_vue_keyword	Highlight vue keyword like data, methods, ...	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_use_foldexpr#	Enable builtin foldexpr foldmethod.	0
g:vim_vue_plugin_custom_blocks	Highlight custom blocks. See details below.	{}
g:vim_vue_plugin_debug	Echo debug messages in messages list. Useful to debug if unexpected indents occur.	0

*: Vim may be slow if the feature is enabled. Find a balance between syntax highlight and speed. By the way, custom syntax can be added in ~/.vim/syntax or $VIM/vimfiles/syntax.

#: In the case when it's enabled, the foldexpr is not efficient for large files, so it's not enabled initially when the line number exceeds 1000. You can enable it mannully by setlocal foldmethod=expr when required.

+: 0 for .vue and 1 for .wpy

Note

• g:vim_vue_plugin_load_full_syntax applies to other HTML/Sass/Less plugins.
• filetype is set to vue so autocmds and other settings for javascript have to be manually enabled for vue.

Custom blocks

You could enable syntax highlighting in a custom block by setting g:vim_vue_plugin_custom_blocks.

Its structure is { block: filetype } or { block: filetype[] }. When providing a filetype list, you need to add lang="..." in the tag. Otherwise, the first one will be used.

let g:vim_vue_plugin_custom_blocks = { 
      \'docs': 'markdown',
      \'i18n': ['json', 'yaml', 'json5'],
      \}

<docs>
# This is the documentation for component.
</docs>

<i18n lang="yaml">
en:
  hello: "Hello World!"
ja:
  hello: "こんにちは、世界！"
</i18n>

Context based behavior

As there are more than one language in .vue file, the different behaviors like mapping or completion and local options, may be required under different tags or subtypes(current language type).

This plugin provides functions to get the tag/subtype where the cursor is in.

• GetVueTag() => String Return value is one of 'template', 'script', 'style'.

  " Example
  autocmd FileType vue inoremap <buffer><expr> : InsertColon()
  
  function! InsertColon()
    let tag = GetVueTag()
    return tag == 'template' ? ':' : ': '
  endfunction
  

• GetVueSubtype() => String Return value is one of 'html', 'javascript', 'css', 'scss', ....

• OnChangeVueSubtype(subtype) An event listener that is called when subtype changes.

  You can also define an event listener function OnChangeVueSubtype(subtype) in your vimrc to get the subtype and set its local options whenever it changes.

  " Example: set local options based on subtype
  function! OnChangeVueSubtype(subtype)
    echom 'Subtype is '.a:subtype
    if a:subtype == 'html'
      setlocal commentstring=<!--%s-->
      setlocal comments=s:<!--,m:\ \ \ \ ,e:-->
    elseif a:subtype =~ 'css'
      setlocal comments=s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/ commentstring&
    else
      setlocal commentstring=//%s
      setlocal comments=sO:*\ -,mO:*\ \ ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://
    endif
  endfunction
  

emmet-vim

Currently emmet-vim works regarding your HTML/CSS/JavaScript emmet settings, but it depends on how emmet-vim gets filetype and may change in the future. Feel free to report an issue if any problem appears.

Avoid overload

Since there are many sub languages included, most delays come from syntax files overload. A variable named b:current_loading_main_syntax is set to vue which can be used as loading condition if you'd like to manually find and modify the syntax files causing overload.

For example, the builtin syntax sass.vim and less.vim in vim8.1 runtime and pug.vim in vim-pug/syntax always load css.vim which this plugin already loads. It can be optimized like

$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/sass.vim

- runtime! syntax/css.vim
+ if !exists("b:current_loading_main_syntax")
+   runtime! syntax/css.vim
+ endif

$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/vue.vim

-   runtime! syntax/html.vim
+ if !exists("b:current_loading_main_syntax")
+   runtime! syntax/html.vim
+ endif
