Editor support

NPF support in editors and IDEs is currently WIP. Support for syntax highlighting is available through a Tree-sitter parser, available on the tree-sitter-npf repository.

Supported editors

Even if not in the list, all editors using Tree-sitter should be compatible with the parser. Currently, VSCode is not supported as it does not use Tree-sitter by default, but you can have a look at Zed (instructions below) which is fairly similar and has VSCode key binding. The following tutorial assumes that you are using Linux.

Neovim

To get started with using NPF with Neovim, a small config file is available. The init.lua file should be put at ~/.config/nvim/init.lua. This is a small config aimed at people that want to quickly edit NPF file through Neovim and want a simple config that just works.

If you are already familiar with Neovim and already have a Neovim config, you can replace the nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter plugin by the forked supporting NPF : ntyunyayev/nvim-treesitter:

{
    -- Highlight, edit, and navigate code
    'ntyunyayev/nvim-treesitter',
    dependencies = {
        'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects',
    },
    build = ':TSUpdate',
},

Then you can install the NPF parser from inside Neovim:

:TSInstall npf

Helix

For Helix users, a small config is also available on the helix-npf repo. You can copy the content inside ~/.config/helix.

Zed

If you come from VSCode, this option will be the most familiar for your. An extension is available on the zed-npf repo. You can simply clone the repo and then open Zed, open the extensions menu (CTRL+SHIFT+X) click on Install Dev Extension and search for the cloned repo.
