Please direct node client related issues to neovim client repository.

node-host

Installation

Prerequisites: You must have the node executable (currently only 6.x is supported) on your PATH and a copy of npm

~~Install this plugin using vim-plug or your favorite plugin manager~~
Install neovim package globally: npm install -g neovim

Example config (vim-plug)

call plug#begin()
  Plug 'neovim/node-host', { 'do': 'npm install -g neovim' }
call plug#end()

Usage

To use a Node plugin, place the appropriate file or folder in rplugin/node in a runtimepath directory (e.g. ~/.nvim/rplugin/node), run npm install if necessary, and then execute a :UpdateRemotePlugins.

You must restart neovim after a :UpdateRemotePlugins before you can use your new plugin.

Writing plugins

A plugin can either be a file or folder in the rplugin/node directory. If the plugin is a folder, the main script from package.json will be loaded.

Please see the neovim client repository for documentation on how to write a plugin (API is currently a WIP)
