hx-init

After trying Helix Editor, and having 3 devices I decided its probably time to create a CLI tool that will install the LSP and other dependencies required for the languages.

Current support:

• Typescript. This will install the typescript language server, typescript, vscode externals and lemmet-ls for prettier support.
• Javascript. A byproduct of supporting Typescript.
  • Also support for jsx and tsx as they are subsets of JS and TS

Upcoming support:

• Rust
• C#
• C
• C++
• Go

Installation

Clone the repository, in your terminal of choice you navigate to the repo and fire the command npm install -g after this the hx-init command should now be available.

Supported commands

• hx-init <lang flag> will setup the environment required for the language, see list of supported language flags below.
• hx-init check check if Helix Editor and npm are installed as these are required for some packages.
• hx-init -cfg create the default config used by the author (thats me!). Feel free to eventually upgrade or make this command much smoother. This should work cross platform too.

Supported language flags:

-ts
-go (NYI)
-rust (NYI)

Upcoming commands

• hx-init <lang flag> -o will setup the environment required for the language and also open a new Helix Editor instance in the current terminal.
