## Attributes

### Default recipe attributes

- `node['vim']['extra_packages']` - An array of extra packages related to vim to install (like plugins). Empty array by default.

- `node['vim']['install_method']` - Sets the install method, choose from the various install recipes. This attribute is set to 'package' by default.

### Source recipe attributes

- `node['vim']['source']['version']` - The version of vim to compile, 7.4 by default.
- `node['vim']['source']['checksum']` - The source file checksum.
- `node['vim']['source']['dependencies']` - These are the non rhl specific devel dependencies for compiling vim.
- `node['vim']['source']['centos_dependencies']` - These are the rhl and centos specific dependencies needed for compiling vim.
- `node['vim']['source']['prefix']` - This is the path the vim bin will be placed, it's `/usr/local`
- `node['vim']['source']['configuration']` - If you prefer to compile vim differently than the default you can override this configuration.

## Usage

Add `recipe[vim]` to your run list or include the default recipe with `include_recipe 'vim'` in a recipe that is in your run list.

This uses the value of the attribute `node['vim']['install_method']` which by default is _package_.

If you would like to install additional vim plugin packages, include their package names in the `node['vim']['extra_packages']` attribute. Verify that your operating sytem has the package available.

If you would rather compile vim from source, as the case may be for centos nodes, then override the `node['vim']['install_method']` with a value of `'source'`.
