Neovim PDE — .NET C#
Neovim is a highly extensible text editor that can be used for C# development, although it is not specifically tailored for it like some other IDEs. This article describes the steps to configure a personalized development environment for C# programming.
This article is part of the Neovim PDE series.
The Neovim configuration files are available in this repository.
Getting Started
Neovim provides a powerful and customizable environment for editing code, and with the proper configuration and plugins, we can use it to enhance our C# development workflow.
C# Single Page Application (SPA)
We install the .NET SDK and use the NET CLI to create a React-based Single Page Application (SPA).
dotnet new install Microsoft.DotNet.Web.Spa.ProjectTemplates
dotnet new react -o my-react-app
cd my-react-appTo start the React application, run the following commands.
dotnet build
dotnet run
If we click the Fetch data link on the top right, the React client application makes an API call to the ASP.NET controller that generates the weather forecast randomly.
We will use this application for testing.
Neovim Configuration
Using lazy.nvim, we can create a custom development environment that can be easily switched on or off for C# programming.
Below is the configuration in lua/pde/csharp.lua.
