This plugin turns Vim/Neovim into a fully fledged R IDE[1]. Once added as a Vim plugin, it will try to compile a backend executable called nvimcom[2].

If nvimcom Installation Fails

This Just Works ™ but you have to explictly install GCC on system packages so the plugin script can find it and compile the code it needs. If GCC is not explicitly installed, then it will print an "updating nvimcom" message and then a cryptic compilation error log.

Installation via Home-Manager

An example installation of nvim-r using home-manager is shown below.

nvim-R requires build dependencies: which, vim and zip

❄︎ ~/.config/nixpkgs/vim.nix
with import <nixpkgs> { };
let customPlugins = {
  nvim-r = vimUtils.buildVimPlugin {
    name = "nvim-r";
    src = fetchgit {
      url= "https://github.com/jalvesaq/nvim-r";
      rev =  "c53b5a402a26df5952718f483c7461af5bb459eb";
      sha256 = "13xbb05gnpgmyaww6029saplzjq7cq2dxzlxylcynxhhyibz5ibv";
      };
    buildInputs = [ which vim  zip 
  };
};

...
...
in vim_configurable.customize {
  name = "vim";
  vimrcConfig.customRC = ''
  vimrc things go here
  '';
    vimrcConfig.vam.knownPlugins = pkgs.vimPlugins // customPlugins;
    vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [
      { names = [
        "nvim-r"
        "other normal vim plugins"
      ]; }
    ];
}


❄︎ ~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix
home = {
  packages = with pkgs; [
    (import ./vim.nix)
    # other packages
  ];
};
