There are a variety of third-party plugins integrating Spade with different editors. For in-editor error messages and things like go to definition, you have to install the spade language server. You can do this by running:
cargo install --git https://gitlab.com/spade-lang/spade spade-language-server Vim / NeoVim
If you use Neovim, you can install spade.nvim, which is maintained by Ethan at that GitHub repository. This plugin sets up syntax highlighting and the language server automatically, along with some other quality-of-life features.
Otherwise, you can use spade-vim, following the instructions at that repository for manual setup.
