nvim-rs-hello

Neovim plugin made with Rust

A simple "hello" plugin example. Uses nvim-rs and tokio for RPC communication with Neovim.

Install

Packer install with

use {
    "baysmith/nvim-rs-hello",
    run = "cargo build --release",
}

On Windows, Packer may fail to run the build command. The following workaround may work instead.

use {
    "baysmith/nvim-rs-hello",
    run = "/c cargo build --release",
}

Usage

Start the plugin with :lua require("hello").start()

The plugin log file nvim-rs-hello.log can be found in the plugin directory (displayed with :lua print(require("hello").plugin_dir()))

:lua require("hello").ping("test") will print a message with the arguments passed.

:lua require("hello")["repeat"](1, 2, 3) will print a repeating message with the arguments passed. Note: the repeating never stops unless the plugin is stopped.

:lua require("hello").stop() stops the plugin.

Any function can be called on the plugin, but only the above requests are recognized. However, the log file will show the RpcNotfication mesage.

:lua require("hello").hello("plugin")

will display in log as

[DEBUG] nvim_rs::neovim:Get message RpcNotification { method: "hello", params: [String(Utf8String { s: Ok("plugin") })] }
