Problem Description
It's been a week since I started taking Neovim (lazyvim). Neovim has been used by me exclusively for Python and MERN Stack development. The indentation in Python is operating flawlessly. But at this point, indentation is completely broken. At first, it was functioning normally with only a few minor problems.
Note: I am using WSL Ubuntu 24.04. Neovim version is 0.9.5.
Before the problem was like,
const element = (
<div>
| <h1>Hello!</h1>
| <h2>Good to see you here.</h2>
</div>
);
The pointer used to be at the start of the line of indents that is being used now. Just pressed the tab key to get to the right line with a space between the words.
To fix this, I tried to get some approved plugins for lazyvim from the website for lazyvim. But after I downloaded and tried some plugins, I saw that the gap that was happening before was no longer happening. Instead, the indentation is no longer happening at all.
Current Situation
const func = () => {
// For now, till this level indentation is working fine. But as soon as I introduce a new indentation level, the indentation breaks.
}
I have noticed that in .js and .ts file, the indentation is working for only one indentation level.
Only Python code is working perfectly.
Note
I'm new to neovim. So, could you please help me solve this problem? I can give you my configuration codes to help you figure out what's wrong.

-- since `vim.tbl_deep_extend`, can only merge tables and not lists, the code above

-- add tsx and treesitter
vim.list_extend(opts.ensure_installed, {
"tsx",
"typescript",
})
end,

-- the opts function can also be used to change the default opts:
{
"nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
event = "VeryLazy",
opts = function(_, opts)
table.insert(opts.sections.lualine_x, {
function()
return "😄"
end,
})
end,
},
-- or you can return new options to override all the defaults
{
"nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
event = "VeryLazy",
opts = function()
return {
--[[add your custom lualine config here]]
}
end,

-- use mini.starter instead of alpha

-- add jsonls and schemastore packages, and setup treesitter for json, json5 and jsonc

Nothing I read or watched on YouTube, Stack Overflow, Github, or Reddit helped me resolve this problem.
