Integration with text editors
=============================

Most text editors support syntax checking and highlighting, to visually report
syntax errors and warnings to the user. yamllint can be used to syntax-check
YAML source, but a bit of configuration is required depending on your favorite
text editor.

Vim
---

Assuming that the `ALE <https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale>`_ plugin is
installed, yamllint is supported by default. It is automatically enabled when
editing YAML files.

If you instead use the `syntastic <https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic>`_
plugin, add this to your ``.vimrc``:

::

 let g:syntastic_yaml_checkers = ['yamllint']

Neovim
------

Assuming that the `neomake <https://github.com/neomake/neomake>`_ plugin is
installed, yamllint is supported by default. It is automatically enabled when
editing YAML files.

Emacs
-----

If you are `flycheck <https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck>`_ user, you can use
`flycheck-yamllint <https://github.com/krzysztof-magosa/flycheck-yamllint>`_ integration.
