Vim 8 Support

[roxma]

It's totally fine to close or lock this PR if you're not interested.

I'm writing this PR as a demo for vim 8 support via nvim-yarp and vim-hug-neovim-rpc

It works on my side, but I haven't done full testing. And I don't intend to do so.

It's just a proof of concept.

No need to modify existing code. Just a few lines to set the command and function bindings

[mhartington]

Awesome! Mind rebase the commit and I can merge?

[roxma]

I've rebased the code.

But it's not fully tested. vim-hug-neovim-rpc is still marked as experimental.

And I have no plan for testing, as I'm not a typescript developer.

[mhartington]

Thanks for the PR @roxma , I'll spend some time testing and see if I can provide feedback on the rpc plugin!

@mhartington, are you planning to support Vim 8?

[mhartington]

I do plan on merging this, for sure.
Just busy at the moment! Sorry for the delay

[harg]

Don't be sorry, i just wanted to know :) Thank you for your work on this!

[mhartington]

Hey @roxma Im ready to merge this, but in testing I'm getting this error on startup

$ vim main.ts
Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT
Vim: Finished.
zsh: abort      vim main.ts

Not 100% where the error is being caused. Seems as soon as I call TSStart, it errors. Any ideas

ping @roxma

@roxma Are you going to continue your work on that topic or is the vim8 support canceled? I hope you will further develop vim-hug-neovim-rpc. Just downloaded the two wrapper files for nvim-typescript yesterday and it works great. Go on with that!

[mhartington]

Hey folks, no need to ping roxma.
I'll pick this back up next week.
I've been super busy with work, and have a few open issues I need to take care of first.

[igor-ribeiro]

Hey @mhartington! Any updates? Thanks

[mhartington]

Since I moved to node, this PR was no longer needed.

I do not use Vim8 anymore. If someone is willing to provide a PR, I'll accept it.
