import-sort.nvim

Purpose

This Neovim plugin provides a basic, programming language agnostic way to sort import statements through the user-defined command :SortImports.

The plugin is entirely written in Lua, so no other dependencies are required.

Requirements

This plugin should work with any Neovim version.

Installation

Using lazy.nvim in LUA:

{
	-- amongst your other plugins
	{
		'stonemaster/import-sort.nvim',
		event = 'BufEnter',
		config = function ()
			require('import-sort')
		end
	}
}

Usage

Type :SortImports and the current buffer is magically replaced with your imports properly sorted.

Supported Languages & Logic

The logic is extremely simple: the fallback import statement is to look for import statements at the beginning of the code file. This is the common import statement for a lot of languages. There are special cases for C/C++ (#include) as well as C# (using) and Rust (use). Other special cases can easily be added (open either an issue or a PR).

Import statements that are divided into blocks by blank lines are sorted individually.

Sorting of imports is only supported at the beginning of a file.
