Question 1

How do I set up vim-graphql for embedded GraphQL in JavaScript?

Accepted Answer

Install the plugin using a package manager like vim-plug, and it works out-of-the-box with Vim 8.2+ for JavaScript template literals. You can customize recognized tags by setting g:graphql_javascript_tags in your .vimrc, as per the README.

Question 2

What's the difference between vim-graphql and using a GraphQL LSP in Vim?

Accepted Answer

vim-graphql provides basic syntax highlighting and indentation, while a GraphQL LSP offers advanced features like auto-completion and schema validation. The README notes this plugin doesn't implement LSP, so you need tools like coc.nvim for that.

Question 3

Can vim-graphql handle GraphQL syntax in Python strings?

Accepted Answer

No, vim-graphql only supports embedded GraphQL in specific languages listed in the README, such as JavaScript and PHP. For Python, you'd need to rely on other plugins or manual configurations.

Question 4

How to add custom GraphQL tag names in vim-graphql?

Accepted Answer

Set the g:graphql_javascript_tags variable in your .vimrc to include additional tag names, or use b:graphql_javascript_tags for buffer-specific settings. This is detailed in the JavaScript support section of the README.

Question 5

Does vim-graphql work with Neovim?

Accepted Answer

Yes, equivalent Neovim versions are supported, as stated in the Installation section. Ensure you have a compatible version and install the plugin using standard methods like vim-plug or Vim packages.

Question 6

Troubleshooting: vim-graphql syntax not highlighting in Vue files.

Accepted Answer

Ensure the Vue filetype is correctly set and the plugin is installed. The README mentions syntax highlighting is available within Vue templates, so check for conflicts with other Vue-specific plugins or incorrect buffer settings.
