Syntastic is a syntax checking plugin that runs files through external syntax checkers and displays any resulting errors to the user. This can be done on demand, or automatically as files are saved. If syntax errors are detected, the user is notified and is happy because they didn't have to compile their code or execute their script to find them.
At the time of this writing, syntax checking plugins exist for applescript, c, coffee, cpp, css, cucumber, cuda, docbk, erlang, eruby, fortran, gentoo_metadata, go, haml, haskell, html, javascript, json, less, lua, matlab, perl, php, puppet, python, rst, ruby, sass/scss, sh, tcl, tex, vala, xhtml, xml, xslt, yaml, zpt
Screenshot
Below is a screenshot showing the methods that Syntastic uses to display syntax errors. Note that, in practise, you will only have a subset of these methods enabled.
- Errors are loaded into the location list for the corresponding window.
- When the cursor is on a line containing an error, the error message is echoed in the command window.
- Signs are placed beside lines with errors - note that warnings are displayed in a different color.
- There is a configurable statusline flag you can include in your statusline config.
- Hover the mouse over a line containing an error and the error message is displayed as a balloon.
- (not shown) Highlighting errors with syntax highlighting. Erroneous parts of lines can be highlighted.
