vim-elm-syntax (deprecated in favour of Vim)

January 9, 2021 · View on GitHub

vim-elm-syntax only provides syntax highlighting. Other functionality (like compiling code) is provided by elm-language-server.

Important: Elm Syntax is included in Vim

Starting with Vim 8.2 patch 929 Elm syntax is part of Vim. No need to install this plugin. If you use an older version you can still use this plugin.

Neovim support

Elm Syntax is also part of neovim.
