# ALE - Asynchronous Lint Engine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ALE (Asynchronous Lint Engine) is a plugin for providing linting in NeoVim
|
|
|
|
|
and Vim 8 while you edit your text files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ALE makes use of NeoVim and Vim 8 job control functions and timers to
|
|
|
|
|
run linters on the contents of text buffers and return errors as
|
|
|
|
|
text is changed in Vim. This allows for displaying warnings and
|
|
|
|
|
errors in files being edited in Vim before file has been saved

|
back to disk. In other words, this plugin allows you to lint while you type.

**NOTE:** This Vim plugin has been written pretty quickly so far,
|
|
|
|
|
and is still in rapid development. Documentation and stable APIs will
|
|
|
|
|
follow later.
