Ember Neovim Config

A minimal Neovim configuration tailored for Ember.js development, featuring Tree-sitter for syntax highlighting and Language Server Protocol (LSP) support for Ember and TypeScript.

This is not a full-featured IDE setup — it's intentionally simple to serve as a starting point for your own configuration.

✨ Features

• 🧹 Clean Lua-based config structure
• 📦 Ember.js and TypeScript LSP integration
• 🎨 Tree-sitter-based syntax highlighting
• 🧠 Autocompletion with blink.cmp

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone this repo into your Neovim config:

git clone https://github.com/ember-tooling/neovim-config ~/.config/nvim

2. Open Neovim. (Plugins will be installed automatically by lazy.nvim)

nvim .

Multiple Neovim Configs

If you want to maintain multiple Neovim configurations, you can clone this repo into a different directory, such as ~/.config/nvim-ember, and then start Neovim with that config:

NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-ember nvim .

⚙️ Features

✅ Plugin Management

Lazy.nvim is used for efficient plugin management.

✅ Tree-sitter

Enables syntax highlighting and structural editing. Controlled via the ensure_installed list to define which languages to support.

✅ Language Server Protocol (LSP)

Brings IDE-like features directly into Neovim.

LSP intro: YouTube – LSP Explained in 5 Minutes

Core LSP Plugins Used:

Plugin	Purpose
mason.nvim	Install and manage LSPs, formatters, linters
nvim-lspconfig	Provides base configurations for common LSPs
mason-lspconfig.nvim	Bridges mason.nvim with nvim-lspconfig
blink.cmp	Autocompletion UI for LSP and snippets

✅ Key Bindings

Key bindings are defined in lua/config/keymaps.lua.

The keymap added as an example passes the definitions of the symbol under the cursor to the quickfix list.

vim.keymap.set("n", "gd", vim.lsp.buf.definition, { desc = "Go to definition" })

To see all default LSP key bindings see global-defaults.
