Deprecation Notice: This package is not being maintained. I recommend moving to using something based on the Language Server Protocol, and using (LanguageServer.jl)[https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/LanguageServer.jl]. I hear https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim works with deomplete, or with nvim-completion-manager. https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/LanguageServer.jl/wiki/Vim-and-Neovim

Deoplete-Julia

This package supplements julia-vim by providing syntax completions, through Deoplete. This is for NeoVim, rather than orginal Vim. The transition from Vim to neovim is fairly seamless these days -- it supports basically all vim plugins etc.

Check out the video of it working. (Click the image below) (Yes, I know that code is not actually correct. Recording demos is hard.)

Requirements:

• NeoVim - like vim, but newer
• Deoplete - the completion engine that this is a plugin for
• Julia -- the julia programming language
  • v0.5 is the only version strongly supported,
  • support for 0.6+ will not be coming
  • This is not compatible with 0.4
  • Because this interacts with the AST and reflection on a tightish level it is dependent on julia's internal representations.
    • It may have been better to display marginally less information, but be more stable, by depending only on the docstrings (/internal help), and on the result of methods

Suggested

• julia-vim - syntax highlighting and LaTeX/Unicode replacement
  • deoplete-julia does not at all interact with julia-vim, and that is kinda a nice thing. They do different task but work together well.
  • julia-vim runs just fine in NeoVim

Installation

Use your prefered Vim package manager, eg Vundle.

Plugin 'Shougo/deoplete.nvim'
Plugin 'JuliaEditorSupport/deoplete-julia'

Do not forget to enable deoplete in your .nvimrc if you've not used it before.

let g:deoplete#enable_at_startup = 1

The first time a you using a module, will take a little longer as it caches the names from that module (in particular the first time you edit a file at all will take longer, as it builds the cache of names for Base). This cache should rebuild when the module is editted.

You shouldn't notice the cache being generated -- it won't hang, but julia completions will not work til it is done.
