Complete Guide to getting started with coc.nvim

introduce

Coc.nvim is a VIM intelligent completion plug-in for vim8 and neovim based on nodejs.
Complete LSP support. The overall style of configuration, usage and plug-in system is similar to vscode

For myself, the reason for choosing it is that it is easy to install and has enough functions. Compared with youcompleteme, the installation process is simply too comfortable.

For more information, see wiki

Another: because COC itself is only a plug-in of vim, but it has its own plug-in system, I will call the plug-in of COC as a sub plug-in to distinguish it.

Add plug-in

Because COC itself does not provide the completion function of specific languages, it only provides a platform for the completion function,
Therefore, after installation, we need to install specific language services to support the corresponding completion functions.
Open vim and use the following command to automatically install sub plug-ins and related dependencies.

:CocInstall coc-json coc-tsserver

amongcoc-json coc-tsserverThese are the corresponding sub plug-ins that support JSON and typescript.
To retrieve which sub plug-ins are available, you can directly find coc.nvim on NPM,
Or use COC marketplace to manage directly in vim. The installation commands are as follows:

:CocInstall coc-marketplace
