Configuration

This plugin enables automatic code formatting on save by default using zig fmt. To disable it, you can use this configuration in vimrc:

let g:zig_fmt_autosave = 0

The default compiler which gets used by :make (:help :compiler for details) is zig_build and it runs zig build. The other options are:

• :compiler zig_test which runs zig test on the current file.
• :compiler zig_build_exe which runs zig build-exe on the current file.
• :compiler zig which requires that a subcommand is passed as an argument and it runs on the current file.
