If using Vim:

• Use Vim 8 or newer
• mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/

• git clone https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig.vim

If using Neovim:

Configuration

This plugin enables automatic code formatting on save by default using zig fmt. To disable it, you can use this configuration in vimrc:

let g:zig_fmt_autosave = 0

The default compiler which gets used by :make (:help :compiler for details) is zig_build when build.zig can be found upward in the directory structure and is zig_build_exe otherwise. In total, the compiler options are:

• :compiler zig_build which runs zig build.
• :compiler zig_test which runs zig test on the current file.
• :compiler zig_build_exe which runs zig build-exe on the current file.
• :compiler zig_run which runs zig run on the current file.
• :compiler zig which requires that a subcommand is passed as an argument and it runs on the current file.
