If you installed vim-vue-plugin before 3/29/2021, it's recommended to upgrade to the latest version. After upgrade, you will need to configure in a new way as described at Configuration

What's New

Clean code and configuration
Improved performance

Installation

You could install it just like other plugins. The filetype will be set to vue. Feel free to open an issue or pull request if any questions

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

" If filetype is not set to 'vue', try
filetype off
set rtp+=path/to/this_plugin
filetype plugin indent on

How it works

It loads multiple syntax and indent files for .vue and enables them to work together

Blocks (both template/script/style and custom blocks) with any syntax, including pug, typescript, coffee, scss, sass, less, stylus, .... Syntax plugins need to be installed if not provided by vim
Attribute and keyword highlight
emmet-vim html, javascript, css, ... filetype detection
Context-based behavior, such as to get current tag or syntax, and set local options like commentstring
A built-in foldexpr foldmethod

Configuration

g:vim_vue_plugin_configdict is the only configuration

This is default value. You could copy it as a starting point

let g:vim_vue_plugin_config = { 
      \'syntax': {
      \   'template': ['html'],
      \   'script': ['javascript'],
      \   'style': ['css'],
      \},
      \'full_syntax': [],
      \'initial_indent': [],
      \'attribute': 0,
      \'keyword': 0,
      \'foldexpr': 0,
      \'debug': 0,
      \}

Description

It has following options

syntaxdict
- keystring: a block's tag name
- valuelist: a list of syntax name for the block
  - Only syntax files from ['$VIMRUNTIME', '$VIM/vimfiles', '$HOME/.vim'] are loaded. If none is found, then full syntax files (including those from plugins) will be loaded
  - Syntax is decided by lang="..." on the block tag
  - When no valid lang="..." appears on the block tag, the first item of value will be used as default. value can be string if only one
full_syntaxlist: a list of syntax name whose full syntax files are always loaded
initial_indentlist: a list of tag/syntax name with initial one tab indent. The format can be tag.syntax, tag, or syntax

For boolean options, set 1 to enable or 0 to disable

attributeboolean: highlight attribute as expression instead of string
keywordboolean: highlight keyword such as data, methods, ...
foldexprboolean: enable built-in foldexpr foldmethod
debugboolean: echo debug messages in messages list

Example

Only for demo. Try to set syntax as little as possible for performance

let g:vim_vue_plugin_config = { 
      \'syntax': {
      \   'template': ['html', 'pug'],
      \   'script': ['javascript', 'typescript', 'coffee'],
      \   'style': ['scss', 'sass', 'less', 'stylus'],
      \   'i18n': ['json', 'yaml'],
      \   'route': 'json',
      \   'docs': 'markdown',
      \   'page-query': 'graphql',
      \},
      \'full_syntax': ['scss', 'html'],
      \'initial_indent': ['script.javascript', 'style', 'yaml'],
      \'attribute': 1,
      \'keyword': 1,
      \'foldexpr': 1,
      \}

You can still change options as if they are global variables

let g:vim_vue_plugin_config.foldexpr = 0

Note

typescript matches lang="ts"
For .wpy, initial_indent defaults to ['script', 'style']
You could check :h dict and :h list for details about the complex data types

Archive

Documentation archive - 3/29/2021

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 built-in `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 manually 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 can enable highlighting in a custom block by setting g:vim_vue_plugin_custom_blocks.

The 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.

Example

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

Should highlight custom blocks in .vue such as

<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, different mapping, completion and local options may be required under different tags or syntax (current language filetype)

This plugin provides functions to get the tag/syntax 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

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

OnChangeVueSyntax(syntax) An event listener that is called when syntax changes

You can define it in your vimrc to set local options based on current syntax

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

It has been renamed to GetVueSyntax, OnChangeVueSyntax from GetVueSubtype, OnChangeVueSubtype for consistency

emmet-vim

Currently emmet-vim works regarding your html, javascript, css, ... 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

For sass using emmet-vim, please check out this issue

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 built-in 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
