Vim Support for TICKscript

Syntax highlighting

This plugin provides basic syntax highlighting for all TICKscript files denoted by the .tick extension.

Install

Plugin managers are preferred. For Pathogen just clone the repo. For other plugin managers add the appropriate lines and execute the plugin's install command.

• Pathogen
• git clone https://github.com/nathanielc/vim-tickscript.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-tickscript
• vim-plug
• Plug 'nathanielc/vim-tickscript'

You will need the tickfmt command in your PATH in order to format TICKscript files. You can easily install them with the included :TickInstallBinaries command. If invoked, all necessary binaries will be automatically downloaded and installed to your $GOBIN environment (if not set it will use $GOPATH/bin). Note that this command requires git for fetching the individual Go packages. Additionally, use :TickUpdateBinaries to update the installed binaries.

Optionally, you can manually download and install the required binaries using the following command:

go get github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/tick/cmd/tickfmt

Formatting

By default this plugin will format TICKscript files on save.

These options are available:

" The command to use to format TICKscripts, should not need to be changed
" g:tick_fmt_command [default="tickfmt"]

" Whether to format on save
" g:tick_fmt_autosave [default=1]

" Whether to enable experimental features that do a better job of preserving cursor, undo history etc.
" g:tick_fmt_experimental [default=0]

The command :TickFmt will format the current buffer.
