NeoApi-rs

This is a thin layer over mlua to easily use the neovim api in rust.

How to setup your Rust Neovim plugin

Cargo new --lib (your-plugin-name)
cd (your-plugin-name)
cargo add --git https://github.com/norlock/neo-api-rs

Add crate-type in the Cargo.toml:

[lib]
crate-type = ["dylib"]

Create lua directory and symlink to it

mkdir lua
touch lua/(your-plugin-name).lua
cd lua
ln -s ../target/release/lib(your-plugin-name).so (your-plugin-name).so

Now to build:

Cargo build --release

How to build your plugin

There is an example you can follow on: nvim-traveller-rs

Basically you can write everything in Rust.

In lua file: (your-plugin-name).lua:

return require("your-plugin-name");

In your config point to your plugin (e.g. Lazy):

...
{ dir = '/path/to/nvim-traveller-rs' },
...

And to use:

local plugin_name = require('your-plugin-name')

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>p', plugin_name.some_function, {})

Roadmap

Fuzzy

• Open preview at line buffer (maybe persist data between sessions)
• Implement grep search
