Installation
tl;dr
Make sure that neovim's executable (nvim
) is on your $PATH
during the
cabal commands!
nvim-hs is a normal haskell program and a normal haskell library. You can install it in various flavors. These steps describe a more laborous approach that is suited for developing plugins or nvim-hs itself.
The following steps will install `nvim-hs` from git
(example assumes you clone to $HOME/git/nvim-hs
)
using a sandbox:
$ mkdir -p ~/git ; cd ~/git $ git clone https://github.com/neovimhaskell/nvim-hs $ cd nvim-hs $ cabal sandbox init $ cabal install
Or in one line for copy-pasting:
mkdir -p ~/git ; cd ~/git ; git clone https://github.com/neovimhaskell/nvim-hs && cd nvim-hs && cabal sandbox init && cabal install
Copy the script nvim-hs-devel.sh
to a location you like, make it executable
and follow the brief instructions in the comments.
$ cp nvim-hs-devel.sh ~/bin/ $ chmod +x ~/bin/nvim-hs-devel.sh
Assuming you have copied the script to $HOME/bin/nvim-hs-devel.sh
,
put this in your neovim config file (typically ~/.nvimrc
or ~/.nvim/nvimrc
):
if has('nvim') " This way you can also put it in your vim config file call rpcrequest(rpcstart(expand('$HOME/.bin/nvim-hs-devel.sh')), "PingNvimhs") endif
Explained
If you want to use or write plugins written in haskell for nvim-hs, you first
have to make sure that neovim is installed and that it is available on your
$PATH
during the compilation of nvim-hs. Neovim emits information about its
remotely callable API if you call it with the `--api-info` command line
argument. This output is used to generate the API functions you need
to create useful plugins. Also, some internal functionality requires some of
these functions.
The instructions to install nvim-hs should be self-explanatory. In any case, I (saep) recommend using a sandbox for now since I the version constraints of the dependencies are quire lax and there are still changes on the way. Also, there is no official neovim release yet, so you may have to reinstall nvim-hs a few times because the generated API could change or something similar. A sandboxed environment can be saefly deleted and it requires you only to copy and edit a small shell script!
Using a sandbox requires you to install all the libraries you want or have to use in your plugins to be installed inside the sandbox! Some Vim plugins (e.g. ghc-mod) may show weird errors inside neovim for your configuration file because the sandbox is not inside your configuration folder. For nvim-hs you don't need to worry about that, though, because it has a builtin plugin which puts all compile-errors in the quickfix list automatically after you save your configuration file, so you don't need another plugin to detect compile time errors here. But we will discuss this later in more detail. The executable script mentioned in the tl;dr installation instructions sets up the build environment for nvim-hs to use the sandbox.
The Vim-script snippet is a bit conservative and may have a negative impact on
your startup time. You can remove the rpcrequest()
wrapping and call the function
PingNvimhs
at a later time when you need nvim-hs to be initialized. Use your
own judgement! In any case, the snippet can be put anywhere in your neovim
configuration. You may wonder why we have to explicitly
call PingNvimhs
with the function rpcrequest
here. The short answer is:
The internals for registering functions from a remote host require this. The
longer answer is as follows: Registering functions from a remote host does not
define a function directly. It instead installs a hook via an autocmd that
defines the function. This way, only functions that are actually used are
registered and this probably was implemented this way for performance reasons.
Buf, if we try to call a function from a remote host too early, the hooks may
not yet be in place and we receive error messages. Since we do not generate any
Vim-script files which contain those hooks, nvim-hs must be started and
initialized and create those hooks. So the best way to make sure that nvim-hs
is initialized is to try to call some functionon on the msgpack-rpc channel that
nvim-hs listens on. The function must not even exist, but not throwing an
error message is probably nicer, so nvim-hs provides a function "PingNvimhs"
which takes no arguments and returns "Pong"
.
Using nvim-hs essentially means to use a static binary that incorporates all
plugins. It is generated using the Dyre
library and the binary itself is found
in $XDG_CACHE_DIR/nvim
(usually ~/.cache/nvim
). The Dyre
library makes
it feel more like a scripting language, because the binary is automatically
created and executed without having to restart neovim. You can also use the
functions from the Neovim.Debug module if you want to develop your plugins in
a REPL environment. This is probably a bit more difficult to use, so I won't go
into detail here.
Tutorial
tl;dr
If you are proficient with Haskell, it may be sufficient to point you at some of the
important data structures and functions. So, I will do it here. If you need more
assistance, please skip to the next section and follow the links for functions or data
types you do no understand how to use. If you think that the documentation is lacking,
please create an issue on github (or even better, a pull request with a fix ;-)
).
The code sections that describe new functionality are followed by the source code
documentation of the used functions (and possibly a few more).
Create a file called nvim.hs
in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim
(usually
~/.config/nvim
with the following content:
import Neovim main =neovim
defaultConfig
Adjust the fields in defaultConfig
according to the the parameters in NeovimConfig
.
Depending on how you define the parameters, you may have to add some language extensions
which GHC should point you to.
This is the environment in which all plugins are initially started.
Stateless functions use '()' for the static configuration and the mutable
state and there is another type alias for that case: Neovim'
.
Functions have to run in this transformer stack to communicate with neovim.
If parts of your own functions dont need to communicate with neovim, it is
good practice to factor them out. This allows you to write tests and spot
errors easier. Essentially, you should treat this similar to IO
in general
haskell programs.

neovim :: NeovimConfig -> IO () Source
This is essentially the main function for nvim-hs, at least if you want to use Config.Dyre for the configuration.
data NeovimConfig Source
This data type contins information about the configuration of neovim. See the fields' documentation for what you possibly want to change. Also, the tutorial in the Neovim module should get you started.
Config | |
|
defaultConfig :: NeovimConfig Source
Default configuration options for nvim-hs. If you want to keep the default plugins enabled, you can define you rconfig like this:
main =neovim
defaultConfig
{ plugins = myPlugins ++ plugins defaultConfig }
data StartupConfig cfg Source
This data type contains internal fields of nvim-hs that may
be useful for plugin authors. It is available via ask
inside
the plugin startup code.
StartupConfig | |
|
Using existing plugins
nvim-hs is all about importing and creating plugins. This is done following a
concise API. Let's start by making a given plugin available inside
our plugin provider. Assuming that we have installed a cabal package that exports
an examplePlugin
from the module TestPlugin.ExamplePlugin
. A minimal
configuration would then look like this:
import TestPlugin.ExamplePlugin (examplePlugin) main =neovim
def
{plugins
= [ examplePlugin ] ++plugins
defaultConfig
}
That's all you have to do! Multiple plugins are simply imported and put in a list.
If the plugin is not packaged, you can also put the source files of the plugin
inside $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/lib
(usually ~/.config/nvim/lib
).
Assuming the same module name and plugin name, you can use the same configuration
file. The source for the plugin must be located at
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/lib/TestPlugin/ExamplePlugin.hs
and all source
files it depends on must follow the same structure. This is the standard way
how Haskell modules are defined in cabal projects. Having all plugins as source
files can increase the compilation times, so plugins should be put in a cabal
project once they are mature enough. This also makes them easy to share!
Creating a plugin
Creating plugins isn't difficult either. You just have to follow and survive the
the compile time errors of seemingly valid code. This may
sound scary, but it is not so bad. We will cover most pitfalls in the following
paragraphs and if there isn't a solution for your error, you can always ask any
friendly Haskeller in #haskell on irc.freenode.net
!
Enough scary stuff said for now, let's write a plugin!
Due to a stage restriction in GHC when using Template Haskell, we must define
our functions in a different module than $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/nvim.hs
.
This is a bit unfortunate, but it will save you a lot of boring boilerplate and
it will present you with helpful error messages if your plugin's functions do
not work together with neovim.
So, let's write a plugin that calculates the n
th Fibonacci number. Don't we all
love those!
File ~/.config/nvim/lib/Fibonacci/Plugin.hs
module Fibonacci.Plugin (fibonacci) where import Neovim -- | Neovim is not really good with big numbers, so we return aString
here. fibonacci ::Int
->Neovim'
String
fibonacci n =return
.show
$ fibs !! n where fibs :: [Integer] fibs = 0:1:scanl1
(+) fibs
File ~/.config/nvim/lib/Fibonacci.hs
:
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} module Fibonacci (plugin) where import Neovim import Fibonacci.Plugin (fibonacci) plugin ::Neovim
(StartupConfig
NeovimConfig
) ()NeovimPlugin
plugin =wrapPlugin
Plugin {exports
= [ $(function'
'fibonacci)Sync
] ,statefulExports
= [] }
File ~/.config/nvim/nvim.hs
:
import Neovim import qualified Fibonacci as Fibonacci main ::IO
() main =neovim
defaultConfig
{plugins
=plugins
defaultConfig
++ [ Fibonacci.plugin ] }
Let's analyze how it works. The module Fibonacci.Plugin
simply defines a function
that takes the n
th element of the infinite list of Fibonacci numbers. Even though
the definition is very concise and asthetically pleasing, the important part is the
type signature for fibonacci
. Similarly how main :: IO ()
works in normal Haskell
programs, Neovim'
is the environment we need for plugins. Internally, it stores a
few things that are needed to communicate with neovim, but that shouldn't bother you
too much. Simply remember that every plugin function must have a function signature
whose last element is of type
. The result of Neovim
r st somethingfibonacci
is String
because neovim cannot handle big numbers so well. :-)
You can use any argument or result type as long as it is an instance of NvimObject
.
The second part of of the puzzle, which is the definition of plugin
in ~/.config/nvim/lib/Fibonaccin.hs
, shows what a plugin is. It is essentially two
lists of stateless and stateful functionality. A functionality can currently be one
of three things: a function, a command and an autocmd in the context of vim
terminology. In the end, all of those functionalities map to a function at the side
of nvim-hs. If you really want to know what the distinction between those, you
have to consult the :help
pages of neovim (e.g. :help :function
, :help :command
and :help :autocmd
). What's relevant from the side of nvim-hs is the distinction
between stateful and stateless. A stateless function can be called at any
time and it does not share any of its internals with other functions. A stateful
function on the other hand can share a well-defined amount of state with other
functions and in the next section I will show you a simple example for that.
Anyhow, if you take a look at the type alias for Neovim
, you notice the two
type variables r
and st
. These can be accessed with different semantics
each. A value of type r
can only be read. It is more or less a static value
you can query with ask
or asks
if you
are inside a Neovim
environment. The value st
can be changed and those
changes will be available to other functions which run in the same environment.
You can get the current value with get
, you can replace an existing value with
put
and you can also apply a function to the current state with modify
.
Notice how Neovim'
is just a specialization of Neovim
with its r
and
st
set to ()
.
Now to the magical part: $(
. This is a so called
Template Haskell splice and this is why you need
function'
'fibonacci){-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
at the top of your Haskell file. This
splice simply generates Haskell code that, in this case, still needs a value
of type Synchronous
which indicates whether calling the function will make
neovim wait for its result or not. Internally, the expression
$(
creates a value that contains all the
necessary information to properly register the function with neovim. Note the
prime symbol before the function name! This would have probably caused you
some trouble if I haven't mentioned it here! Template Haskell simply requires
you to put that in front of function names that are passed in a splice.function'
'fibonacci) Sync
If you compile this (which should happen automatically if you have put those
files at the appropriate places), you can restart nvim-hs with the command
:RestartNvimhs
which is available as long as you do not remove the default
plugins from you rconfig. Afterwards, you can calculate the 2000th Fibonacci
number like as if it were a normal vim-script function:
:echo Fibonacci(2000)
You can also directly insert the result inside any text file opened with neovim by using the evaluation register by pressing the following key sequence in insert mode:
<C-r>=Fibonacci(2000)
data NeovimPlugin Source
Plugin
values are wraped inside this data type via wrapPlugin
so that
we can put plugins in an ordinary list.
forall r st . NeovimPlugin (Plugin r st) |
This data type contains meta information for the plugin manager.
Plugin | |
|
class NvimObject o where Source
Conversion from Object
files to Haskell types and back with respect
to neovim's interpretation.
toObject :: o -> Object Source
fromObjectUnsafe :: Object -> o Source
fromObject :: NvimObject o => Object -> Either String o Source
type Dictionary = Map ByteString Object Source
A generic vim dictionary is a simply a map from strings to objects. This type alias is sometimes useful as a type annotation especially if the OverloadedStrings extension is enabled.
data Object :: *
ObjectNil | |
ObjectInt Int64 | |
ObjectBool Bool | |
ObjectFloat Float | |
ObjectDouble Double | |
ObjectString ByteString | |
ObjectBinary ByteString | |
ObjectArray [Object] | |
ObjectMap (Map Object Object) | |
ObjectExt !Int8 ByteString |
wrapPlugin :: Monad m => Plugin r st -> m NeovimPlugin Source
Wrap a Plugin
in some nice blankets, so that we can put them in a simple
list.
function :: String -> Name -> Q Exp Source
Define an exported function by providing a cutom name and referencing the function you want to export.
Note that the name must start with an upper case letter.
Example: $(function "MyExportedFunction" 'myDefinedFunction)
Sync
function' :: Name -> Q Exp Source
Define an exported function. This function works exactly like function
,
but it generates the exported name automatically by converting the first
letter to upper case.
command :: String -> Name -> Q Exp Source
Similarly to function
, this function is used to export a command with a
custom name.
Note that commands must start with an upper case letter.
Due to limitations on the side of (neo)vim, commands can only have one of the
following five signatures, where you can replace String
with ByteString
or Text
if you wish:
CommandArguments
->Neovim
r st ()CommandArguments
->Maybe
String
->Neovim
r st ()CommandArguments
->String
->Neovim
r st ()CommandArguments
-> [String
] ->Neovim
r st ()CommandArguments
->String
-> [String
] ->Neovim
r st ()
Example: $(command "RememberThePrime" 'someFunction) [
CmdBang
]
Note that the list of command options (i.e. the last argument) removes duplicate options by means of some internally convienient sorting. You should simply not defined the same option twice.
command' :: Name -> Q Exp Source
Define an exported command. This function works exactly like command
, but
it generates the command name by converting the first letter to upper case.
autocmd :: Name -> Q Exp Source
This function generates an export for autocmd. Since this is a static
registration, arguments are not allowed here. You can, of course, define a
fully applied function and pass it as an argument. If you have to add
autocmds dynamically, it can be done with addAutocmd
.
Example:
someFunction :: a -> b -> c -> d -> Neovim r st res someFunction = ... theFunction :: Neovim r st res theFunction = someFunction 1 2 3 4 $(autocmd 'theFunction) def
def
is of type AutocmdOptions
.
Note that you have to define theFunction
in a different module due to
the use of Template Haskell.
data Synchronous Source
This option detemines how neovim should behave when calling some functionality on a remote host.
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. |
Enum Synchronous Source | |
Eq Synchronous Source | |
Ord Synchronous Source | |
Read Synchronous Source | |
Show Synchronous Source | |
IsString Synchronous Source | |
NvimObject Synchronous Source |
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.)
CmdSync Synchronous | Stringliteral "sync" or "async" |
CmdRegister | Register passed to the command. Stringliteral: |
CmdRange RangeSpecification | Determines how neovim passes the range. Stringliterals: "%" for |
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: "!" |
Eq CommandOption Source | |
Ord CommandOption Source | |
Read CommandOption Source | |
Show CommandOption Source | |
IsString CommandOption Source |
data RangeSpecification Source
Specification of a range that acommand can operate on.
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.
CommandArguments | |
|
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.
AutocmdOptions | |
|
:: ByteString | The event to register to (e.g. BufWritePost) |
-> AutocmdOptions | |
-> Neovim r st () | Fully applied function to register |
-> Neovim r st (Maybe (Either (Neovim anyR anySt ()) ReleaseKey)) | A |
Register an autocmd in the current context. This means that, if you are
currently in a stateful plugin, the function will be called in the current
thread and has access to the configuration and state of this thread. If you
need that information, but do not want to block the other functions in this
thread, you have to manually fork a thread and make the state you need
available there. If you don't care abou the state (or your function has been
appield to all the necessary state (e.g. a TVar
to share the rusult), then
you can also call addAutocmd'
which will register a stateless function that
only interacts with other threads by means of concurrency abstractions.
Note that the function you pass must be fully applied.
Note beside: This function is equivalent to addAutocmd'
if called from a
stateless plugin thread.
addAutocmd' :: ByteString -> AutocmdOptions -> Neovim' () -> Neovim r st (Maybe ReleaseKey) Source
Add a stateless autocmd.
See addAutocmd
for more details.
ask :: MonadReader r m => m r
Retrieves the monad environment.
:: forall (m :: * -> *). MonadReader r m | |
=> (r -> a) | The selector function to apply to the environment. |
-> m a |
Retrieves a function of the current environment.
put :: MonadState s m => s -> m ()
Replace the state inside the monad.
get :: MonadState s m => m s
Return the state from the internals of the monad.
gets :: MonadState s m => (s -> a) -> m a
Gets specific component of the state, using a projection function supplied.
modify :: MonadState s m => (s -> s) -> m ()
Monadic state transformer.
Maps an old state to a new state inside a state monad. The old state is thrown away.
Main> :t modify ((+1) :: Int -> Int) modify (...) :: (MonadState Int a) => a ()
This says that modify (+1)
acts over any
Monad that is a member of the MonadState
class,
with an Int
state.
Creating a stateful plugin
Calling remote functions
Now that we are a little bit comfortable with the interface provided by nvim-hs, we can start to write a more complicated plugin. Let's create a random number generator!
File ~/.config/nvim/lib/Random/Plugin.hs
:
module Random.Plugin (nextRandom, setNextRandom) where import Neovim -- | Neovim isn't so good with big numbers here either. nextRandom ::Neovim
r [Int16
]Int16
nextRandom = do r <-gets
head
-- get the head of the infinite random number listmodify
tail
-- set the list to its tailreturn
r setNextRandom ::Int
->Neovim
r [Int16
] () setNextRandom n =modify
(n:) -- cons to the front of the infinite list
File ~/.config/nvim/lib/Random.hs
:
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} module Random (plugin) where import Neovim import Random.Plugin (nextRandom, setNextRandom) import System.Random (newStdGen
,randoms
) plugin ::Neovim
(StartupConfig
NeovimConfig
) ()NeovimPlugin
plugin = do g <-liftIO
newStdGen
-- initialize with a random seed let randomNumbers =randoms
g -- an infinite list of random numberswrapPlugin
Plugin
{exports
= [] ,statefulExports
= [ ((), randomNumbers, [ $(function'
'nextRandom)Sync
, $(function
"SetNextRandom" 'setNextRandom)Async
]) ] }
File ~/.config/nvim/nvim.hs
:
import Neovim import qualified Fibonacci as Fibonacci import qualified Random as Random main ::IO
() main =neovim
defaultConfig
{plugins
=plugins
defaultConfig
++ [ Fibonacci.plugin, Random.plugin ] }
That wasn't too hard, was it? The definition is very similar to the previous
example, we just were able to mutate our state and share that with other
functions. The only slightly tedious thing was to define the statefulExports
field because it is a list of triples which has a list of exported
functionalities as its third argument. Another noteworthy detail, in case you
are not familiar with it, is the use of liftIO
in front of newStdGen
. You
have to do this, because newStdGen
has type
but the actions
inside the startup code are of type
IO
StdGen
. Neovim
(StartupConfig
NeovimConfig
) () somethingliftIO
lifts an
IO
function so that it can be run inside the Neovim
context (or more
generally, any monad that implements the MonadIO
type class).
After you have saved these files (and removed any typos :-)
), you can restart
nvim-hs with :RestartNvimhs
and insert random numbers in your text files!
<C-r>=NextRandom()
You can also cheat and pretend you know the next number:
:call SetNextRandom(42)
wait :: Neovim r st (STM result) -> Neovim r st result Source
Wait for the result of the STM action.
This action possibly blocks as it is an alias for
ioSTM -> ioSTM >>= liftIO . atomically
.
waitErr' :: Show e => String -> Neovim r st (STM (Either e result)) -> Neovim r st () Source
waitErr
that discards the result.
Generated functions for neovim interaction
module Neovim.API.String
Unsorted exports
liftIO :: MonadIO m => forall a. IO a -> m a
withCustomEnvironment :: (MonadMask io, MonadIO io) => [(String, Maybe String)] -> io a -> io a Source
Execute the given action with a changed set of environment variables and restore the original state of the environment afterwards.
data Priority :: *
Priorities are used to define how important a log message is. Users can filter log messages based on priorities.
These have their roots on the traditional syslog system. The standard definitions are given below, but you are free to interpret them however you like. They are listed here in ascending importance order.
