Lightweight syntax checker for Emacs, alternative of flymake-mode.
Less CPU computing and less memory footprint.
Since version 0.5, only Emacs 27.1+ is supported.
Place *.el under Load Path. Then add (require 'lazyflymake) to your configuration.
This program is based on flymake API. So your existing configuration for flymake still works.
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'lazyflymake-start)By default, flymake-mode is turned on in lazyflymake-start.
Use lazyflymake-goto-next-error and lazyflymake-goto-prev-error to locate errors.
There is also a lightweight mode which does not use flymake-mode.
Enable it by insert extra one liner before calling flymake-start,
(setq lazyflymake-flymake-mode-on nil)Then flymake-mode is not turned on by lazyflymake-start automatically.
The syntax check happens if and only if current buffer is saved.
The command lazyflymake-list-errors is provided in lightweight mode.
There are also other optional commands,
lazyflymake-stopstops the checking process and uninstall running code inafter-save-hookand turn offflymake-mode.lazyflymake-check-current-bufferalways checks current buffer, ignoring other setup.
lazyflymake-program-extra-args contains extra arguments passed to linter cli program. It could be converted to buffer local variable.
This program also sets up flymake for Shell script, Emacs Lisp, and Lua automatically,
- Shellcheck is required to check shell script
- Lua executable is required to check Lua code
- MISS_HIT is required to check octave/matlab code
- Tidy is required to check html code
- yamllint is required check yaml code
- Customize
lazyflymake-ignore-error-functionto ignore errors extracted from linter output.
