Description

 

Synopsis

Documentation

data FunctionalityDescription Source

Functionality specific functional description entries.

All fields which are directly specified in these constructors are not optional, but can partialy be generated via the Template Haskell functions. The last field is a data type that contains all relevant options with sensible defaults, hence def can be used as an argument.

Constructors

Function FunctionName Synchronous

Exported function. Callable via call name(arg1,arg2).

  • Name of the function (must start with an uppercase letter)
  • Option to indicate how neovim should behave when calling this function
Command FunctionName CommandOptions

Exported Command. Callable via :Name arg1 arg2.

  • Name of the command (must start with an uppercase letter)
  • Options to configure neovim's behavior for calling the command
Autocmd ByteString FunctionName AutocmdOptions

Exported autocommand. Will call the given function if the type and filter match.

NB: Since we are registering this on the Haskell side of things, the number of accepted arguments should be 0.

  • Type of the autocmd (e.g. "BufWritePost")
  • Name for the function to call
  • Options for the autocmd (use def here if you don't want to change anything)

newtype FunctionName Source

Essentially just a string.

Constructors

F ByteString 

data Synchronous Source

This option detemines how neovim should behave when calling some functionality on a remote host.

Constructors

Async

Call the functionality entirely for its side effects and do not wait for it to finish. Calling a functionality with this flag set is completely asynchronous and nothing is really expected to happen. This is why a call like this is called notification on the neovim side of things.

Sync

Call the function and wait for its result. This is only synchronous on the neovim side. This means that the GUI will (probably) not allow any user input until a reult is received.

data CommandOption Source

Options for commands.

Some command can also be described by using the OverloadedString extensions. This means that you can write a literal String inside your source file in place for a CommandOption value. See the documentation for each value on how these strings should look like (Both versions are compile time checked.)

Constructors

CmdSync Synchronous

Stringliteral "sync" or "async"

CmdRegister

Register passed to the command.

Stringliteral: "\""

CmdNargs String

Command takes a specific amount of arguments

Automatically set via template haskell functions. You really shouldn't use this option yourself unless you have to.

CmdRange RangeSpecification

Determines how neovim passes the range.

Stringliterals: "%" for WholeFile, "," for line and ",123" for 123 lines.

CmdCount Word

Command handles a count. The argument defines the default count.

Stringliteral: string of numbers (e.g. "132")

CmdBang

Command handles a bang

Stringliteral: "!"

data CommandOptions Source

Newtype wrapper for a list of CommandOption. Any properly constructed object of this type is sorted and only contains zero or one object for each possible option.

data RangeSpecification Source

Specification of a range that acommand can operate on.

Constructors

CurrentLine

The line the cursor is at when the command is invoked.

WholeFile

Let the command operate on every line of the file.

RangeCount Int

Let the command operate on each line in the given range.

data CommandArguments Source

You can use this type as the first argument for a function which is intended to be exported as a command. It holds information about the special attributes a command can take.

Constructors

CommandArguments 

Fields

bang :: Maybe Bool

Nothing means that the function was not defined to handle a bang, otherwise it means that the bang was passed (Just True) or that it was not passed when called (Just False).

range :: Maybe (Int, Int)

Range passed from neovim. Only set if CmdRange was used in the export declaration of the command.

Example:

  • Just (1,12)
count :: Maybe Int

Count passed by neovim. Only set if CmdCount was used in the export declaration of the command.

register :: Maybe String

Register that the command can/should/must use.

mkCommandOptions :: [CommandOption] -> CommandOptions Source

Smart constructor for CommandOptions. This sorts the command options and removes duplicate entries for semantically the same thing. Note that the smallest option stays for whatever ordering is defined. It is best to simply not define the same thing multiple times.

data AutocmdOptions Source

Options that can be used to register an autocmd. See :h :autocmd or any referenced neovim help-page from the fields of this data type.

Constructors

AutocmdOptions 

Fields

acmdPattern :: String

Pattern to match on. (default: "*")

acmdNested :: Bool

Nested autocmd. (default: False)

See :h autocmd-nested

acmdGroup :: Maybe String

Group in which the autocmd should be registered.

class HasFunctionName a where Source

Conveniennce class to extract a name from some value.

Methods

name :: a -> FunctionName Source
