Auto completion

Install prabirshrestha/asyncomplete.vim and configure it to your liking.

Add this to your configuration file to register the autocomplete source:

au User asyncomplete_setup call asyncomplete#register_source({
    \ 'name': 'nim',
    \ 'whitelist': ['nim'],
    \ 'completor': {opt, ctx -> nim#suggest#sug#GetAllCandidates({start, candidates -> asyncomplete#complete(opt['name'], ctx, start, candidates)})}
    \ })

Support for different completion plugins

While prabirshrestha/asyncomplete.vim is the most tested plugin for use with nim.nvim, it's worth noting that this plugin was made to support a wide range of completion plugins.

If your favorite completion plugin supports asynchronous completion sources in vimscript, the functions in autoload/nim/suggest/sug.vim can be used to integrate nim.nvim with it. Details on how to do so differs between plugins, so please refer to your completion plugin's documentations.

See Support for other completion plugins for pre-made configuration snippets for other plugins.

If you have any questions, you can find me in the #nim IRC channel under the handle leorize.
