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 syntastic plugin is installed, add to your .vimrc:

let g:syntastic_yaml_checkers = ['yamllint']

Neovim

Assuming that the neomake plugin is installed, yamllint is supported by default. It is automatically enabled when editing YAML files.
