105$: [nvim-lspconfig] Only lint on insert with quick-lint

[vegerot]

The vim docs for quick-lint say that I can lint while in insert mode. However, while quick-lint is quick, most of my other linters are not quick. Is there a way to lint in insert mode for only quick-lint? The docs only describe how to do it for all linters:

    vim.lsp.handlers['textDocument/publishDiagnostics'] = vim.lsp.with(
      vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics, {
        update_in_insert = true,
      }
    )

Great idea!

[vegerot]

please add an extra $100 to this issue (from me)

found a question on StackOverflow asking pretty much the same thing https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/41975/enable-update-in-insert-only-for-certain-extensions

off-topic: I found a shorter version of this by reading the neovim help pages

vim.diagnostic.config({
	update_in_insert = true,
})

on-topic: I only skimmed it, but the docs mention (diagnostics.txt):

1. Create a namespace |nvim_create_namespace()|. Note that the namespace must
   have a name. Anonymous namespaces WILL NOT WORK.
2. (Optional) Configure options for the diagnostic namespace
   |vim.diagnostic.config()|.
3. Generate diagnostics.
4. Set the diagnostics for the buffer |vim.diagnostic.set()|.
5. Repeat from step 3.

I don't know what a "namespace" is, but it sounds promising. Could we make a quick-lint namespace?

Could we make a quick-lint namespace?

I suspect that a namespace is for plugins like nvim-lspconfig, not for plugins (LSP servers) like quick-lint-js. But perhaps nvim-lspconfig creates one namespace for each registered LSP server?

@strager I claim this for-hire task. I expect payment after I complete this task. I will email the quick-lint-js team if I am assigned this task.

@RossBarnie The title has a mistake because the reporter is an asshole. The dollar amount was intended to be 5$, not 105$.

I think 15$ is more appropriate. Do you agree to 15$?

[RossBarnie]

Yes I agree to $15.

[vegerot]

I also intend on adding $100. We'll talk payment methods after it's completed. You like Walmart gift cards?

[vegerot]

I'll try this out tomorrow and send the money :)

@RossBarnie it works! But you don't have Sponsors enabled :(
