## Supported Languages and Tools

|

This plugin supports the following languages and tools. All available

tools will be run in combination, so they can be complementary.

|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Once this plugin is installed, while editing your files in supported
|
||||
languages and tools which have been correctly installed,
|
||||
this plugin will send the contents of your text buffers to a variety of
|
||||
programs for checking the syntax and semantics of your programs. By default,
|
||||
linters will be re-run in the background to check your syntax when you open
|
||||
new buffers or as you make edits to your files.
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin offers a variety of global flags for turning options on or off,
|
||||
all of which are given defaults and described in the [flags](plugin/ale/aaflags.vim)
|
||||
file. Linting on open, setting of signs, populating the loclist, and so forth may
|
||||
all be configured as desired.
|
||||
|
||||
### Selecting Particular Linters
|
||||
|
||||
By default, all available tools for all supported languages will be run.
|
||||
If you want to only select a subset of the tools, simply create a
|
||||
`g:ale_linters` dictionary in your vimrc file mapping filetypes
|
||||
to lists of linters to run.
|
||||
|
||||
```vim
|
||||
let g:ale_linters = {
|
||||
\ 'javascript': ['eslint'],
|
||||
\}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For all languages unspecified in the dictionary, all possible linters will
|
||||
be run for those languages, just as when the dictionary is not defined.
|
||||
Running many linters should not typically obstruct editing in Vim,
|
||||
as they will all be executed in separate processes simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin will look for linters in the [`ale_linters`](ale_linters) directory.
|
||||
Each directory within corresponds to a particular filetype in Vim, and each file
|
||||
in each directory corresponds to the name of a particular linter.
