Vim syntax highlighting and indentation for Svelte 3 components.

This is mostly just HTML syntax highlighting with some keywords added and all expressions inside of { and } highlighted as JavaScript.

Highlighting includes:

  • HTML attributes with a colon like on:click or transition:fade highlighted as Keyword.
  • #if, /if, :else, and :else if highlighted as Conditional.
  • #await, /await, :catch, :then, and @html highlighted as Keyword.
  • #each and /each highlighted as Repeat.

Dependencies

  1. pangloss/vim-javascript for JavaScript syntax highlighting.
  2. othree/html5.vim for HTML indent.

Both of those dependencies are included in sheerun/vim-polyglot so if you're already using that then you should be set.

Installation

The simplest way to install vim-svelte is via a package manager like Pathogen, Vundle, NeoBundle, Plug, or minpac.

For example, using minpac:

call minpac#add('othree/html5.vim')
call minpac#add('pangloss/vim-javascript')
call minpac#add('evanleck/vim-svelte')

Or using Plug:

Plug 'othree/html5.vim'
Plug 'pangloss/vim-javascript'
Plug 'evanleck/vim-svelte', {'branch': 'main'}

vim-svelte works just fine with Vim 8's native package loading as well.

Options

To disable indentation within <script> and <style> tags, set one of these variables in your vimrc:

let g:svelte_indent_script = 0
let g:svelte_indent_style = 0

Preprocessed languages

Syntax highlighting for additional languages is supported, assuming you have a corresponding syntax definition installed. For example, newer versions of Vim ship with a TypeScript syntax definition, so you wouldn't need anything additional installed for that to work. Supported languages include:

  • less
  • scss
  • sass
  • stylus
  • typescript

Since Svelte doesn't support these out of the box (see svelte-preprocess for how to set up some common language preprocessors with e.g. Rollup), they're all disabled by default so the first thing you'll need to do is enable your languages via the g:svelte_preprocessors variable:

let g:svelte_preprocessors = ['typescript']

Then, use your language in your Svelte components like this:

<script lang='typescript'>
</script>

<!-- Or... -->
<style type='text/scss'>
</style>

Customizing the list of preprocessed languages

In addition to enabling the built-in preprocessors, you can add your own preprocessors that this plugin will detect using the g:svelte_preprocessor_tags variable. It should be a list of dictionaries with at least a name and a tag attribute. You can optionally include an as attribute which maps to the syntax you'd like to use within the tag.

Here's an example:

let g:svelte_preprocessor_tags = [
  \ { 'name': 'postcss', 'tag': 'style', 'as': 'scss' }
  \ ]
" You still need to enable these preprocessors as well.
let g:svelte_preprocessors = ['postcss']

This would highlight <style type="postcss"> contents as scss, useful if you use something like postcss-nested.

You can also create shorthand names if, for example, writing out lang='typescript' takes too long:

let g:svelte_preprocessor_tags = [
  \ { 'name': 'ts', 'tag': 'script', 'as': 'typescript' }
  \ ]
let g:svelte_preprocessors = ['ts']
Field Usage Required Default value
name The value within the attribute lang or type on the tag as well as the value to include in g:svelte_preprocessors. Yes None
tag The HTML tag to target e.g. script or style. Yes None
as The syntax name to use for highlighting. No The name attribute.

Note, that enabling and loading a lot of different syntax definitions can considerably degrade Vim's performance. Consider yourself warned.

Integrations

  • ALE: vim-svelte should work out of the box with eslint and a few other linters/fixers. PRs welcome if the one you want is missing.
  • matchit.vim: vim-svelte should work out of the box and allow moving between HTML tags as well as flow control like #if/:else//if.
  • Syntastic: vim-syntastic will work with javascript and html checkers, for example:
    let g:syntastic_svelte_checkers = ['javascript/eslint', 'html/htmlhint']

Tests

Indentation tests are provided and any contributions would be much appreciated. They can be run with make test which will clone vader.vim into the current working directory and run the test suite.
