INTRODUCTION

Dutyl operates various Dlang tools to help you program D in Vim. Instead of having a separate plugin for each tool, Dutyl can use multiple plugins and use them together - for example, use DUB to get a list of import paths the project is using and pass that list to DCD to get autocompleting for symbols that come from libraries. Dutyl has a module(/plugin) system that allows tools to back up each other - so for example if a project doesn't use DUB, Dutyl can back up reading the import paths from a static configuration file.

Currently supported features:

  • Getting the imports list from DUB or from a configuration file
  • Autocompletion using DCD
  • Finding DDoc using DCD
  • Finding declarations using DCD or Dscanner
  • Syntax and style checks using Dscanner
  • Updating the tags file using Dscanner
  • Recognizing the project's root and running commands there
  • Formatting code using dfmt
  • Indenting using dfmt

REQUIREMENTS

Dutyl requires the tools that it uses. If you want it to use DUB to get info about the project, you need DUB. If you want it to use DCD for autocompletion, you need DCD(currently tested with version 0.4.0). If you want it to use Dscanner, you need Dscanner. If you want it to use dfmt, you need dfmt.

NOTE ABOUT DCD

DCD functionality won't work without a dcd-server running. Dutyl does not run dcd-server automatically, but it does offer several commands to ease that task:

  • :DUDCDstartServer to start DCD
  • :DUDCDstopServer to stop DCD
  • :DUDCDrestartServer to restart DCD
  • :DUDCDclearCache to clear the DCD cache

CONFIGURATION

Use g:dutyl_stdImportPaths to specify the standard library import paths.

let g:dutyl_stdImportPaths=['/usr/include/dlang/dmd']

You must either set g:dutyl_stdImportPaths or configure these paths in DCD itself, or else DCD won't be able to recognize standard library symbols.

If you want to never add the closing paren in calltips completions, set g:dutyl_neverAddClosingParen to 1:

let g:dutyl_neverAddClosingParen=1

Dutyl will assume that tools are in the system's PATH. If they are not, you'll have to supply the path for them using dutyl#register#tool like so:

call dutyl#register#tool('dcd-client','/path/to/DCD/dcd-client')
call dutyl#register#tool('dcd-server','/path/to/DCD/dcd-server')

Note: If you are using a plugin manager(like Pathogen or Vundle), make sure that you only call dutyl#register#tool after you run the plugin manager's command for updating the runtime path(pathogen#infect in case of Pathogen, vundle#end in case of Vundle, or whatever the command is for whatever the tool you are using).

Under Windows, Dutyl uses VimProc when available to prevent opening a console windows every time a command needs to be ran. To prevent using VimProc, set g:dutyl_dontUseVimProc to 1:

let g:dutyl_dontUseVimProc=1

Dutyl will use a local file named "tags" for tags. If you want to everride this, set g:dutyl_tagsFileName to the name of the new tags file:

let g:dutyl_tagsFileName='newnamefortagsfile'

Note that the new tags file name will still have to be in tags in order for Vim to recognize it.

If dfmt is detected in your path(or if you set it's path via dutyl#register#tool), Dutyl will automatically set formatexpr and indentexpr when you enter a D file. To disable this, set g:dutyl_dontHandleFormat and/or g:dutyl_dontHandleIndent to 1:

let g:dutyl_dontHandleFormat = 1
let g:dutyl_dontHandleIndent = 1
