not sure why its missing, but the standard nginx.conf is not in the filetypes list.
Why would i not use the coloring on any file called nginx.conf?
so i needed
au BufRead,BufNewFile nginx.conf,/etc/nginx/,/etc/nginx/conf.d/,/usr/local/nginx/conf/* if &ft == '' | setfiletype nginx | endif
We use a lot of dockerized / containerized nginx's where the config is never in the standard locations
👍
thanks
🎉👍🏻
an alternative to
filetype.vim
file would be having sth like that at the end of nginx config file:
# vi: filetype=nginx
pros: you are not limited to have nginx config in /etc/nginx directory cons: you need to add this modeline to the file
