This is a Vim plugin that provides Rust file detection, syntax highlighting, formatting, Syntastic integration, and more. It requires Vim 8 or higher for full functionality. Some things may not work on earlier versions.
For activating the full functionality, this plugin requires either the plugin
manager or the .vimrc
to have the following:
syntax enable
filetype plugin indent on
Most plugin managers don't do this automatically, so these statements are
usually added by users in their vimrc
right after the plugin manager load
section.
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/rust.vim

Error checking with Syntastic
rust.vim
automatically registers cargo
as a syntax checker with
Syntastic, if nothing else is specified. See :help rust-syntastic
for more details.
Source browsing with Tagbar
The installation of Tagbar along with Universal Ctags is recommended
for a good Tagbar experience. For other kinds of setups, rust.vim
tries to
configure Tagbar to some degree.
Formatting with rustfmt
The :RustFmt
command will format your code with
rustfmt if installed. rustfmt
can be installed
via rustup component add rustfmt
.
Placing let g:rustfmt_autosave = 1
in your ~/.vimrc
will
enable automatic running of :RustFmt
when you save a buffer.
Do :help :RustFmt
for further formatting help and customization
options.
Playpen integration
Note: This feature requires webapi-vim to be installed.
The :RustPlay
command will send the current selection, or if
nothing is selected the current buffer, to the Rust playpen.
If you set g:rust_clip_command RustPlay will copy the url to the clipboard.
-
Mac:
let g:rust_clip_command = 'pbcopy'
-
Linux:
let g:rust_clip_command = 'xclip -selection clipboard'
