rust.vim
Description
This is a Vim plugin that provides Rust file detection, syntax highlighting, formatting,
Syntastic integration, and more. It requires Vim 8 or higher for full functionality.
Some things may not work on earlier versions.
Installation
For activating the full functionality, this plugin requires either the plugin
manager or the .vimrc to have the following:
syntax enable
filetype plugin indent on
Most plugin managers don't do this automatically, so these statements are
usually added by users in their vimrc right after the plugin manager load
section.
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/rust.vim
Plugin 'rust-lang/rust.vim'
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/rust.vim
Plug 'rust-lang/rust.vim'
call dein#add('rust-lang/rust.vim')
NeoBundle 'rust-lang/rust.vim'
Features
Error checking with Syntastic
rust.vim automatically registers cargo as a syntax checker with
Syntastic, if nothing else is specified. See :help rust-syntastic
for more details.
Source browsing with Tagbar
The installation of Tagbar along with Universal Ctags is recommended
for a good Tagbar experience. For other kinds of setups, rust.vim tries to
configure Tagbar to some degree.
Formatting with rustfmt
The :RustFmt command will format your code with
rustfmt if installed. rustfmt can be installed
via rustup component add rustfmt.
Placing let g:rustfmt_autosave = 1 in your ~/.vimrc will
enable automatic running of :RustFmt when you save a buffer.
Do :help :RustFmt for further formatting help and customization
options.
Playpen integration
Note: This feature requires webapi-vim to be installed.
The :RustPlay command will send the current selection, or if
nothing is selected the current buffer, to the Rust playpen.
If you set g:rust_clip_command RustPlay will copy the url to the clipboard.
Mac:
let g:rust_clip_command = 'pbcopy'
Linux:
let g:rust_clip_command = 'xclip -selection clipboard'
Running a test under cursor
In a Cargo project, the :RustTest command will run the test that is under the cursor.
This is useful when your project is big and running all of the tests takes a long time.
Help
Further help can be found in the documentation with :Helptags then :help rust.
Detailed help can be found in the documentation with :help rust.
Helptags (:help helptags) need to be generated for this plugin
in order to navigate the help. Most plugin managers will do this
automatically, but check their documentation if that is not the case.
