Custom rules

This page contains custom rules, that can be added to your neovim config using add_rules method.

Add spaces between parentheses

local npairs = require'nvim-autopairs'
local Rule   = require'nvim-autopairs.rule'

local brackets = { { '(', ')' }, { '[', ']' }, { '{', '}' } }

  Rule(' ', ' ')
    :with_pair(function (opts)

local npairs = require'nvim-autopairs'
local Rule = require'nvim-autopairs.rule'
local cond = require'nvim-autopairs.conds'

local brackets = { { '(', ')' }, { '[', ']' }, { '{', '}' } }
npairs.add_rules {
  Rule(' ', ' ')
    :with_pair(function(opts)
      local pair = opts.line:sub(opts.col -1, opts.col)

end

Move past commas and semicolons

for _,punct in pairs { ",", ";" } do
    require "nvim-autopairs".add_rules {
        require "nvim-autopairs.rule"("", punct)
            :with_move(function(opts) return opts.char == punct end)
            :with_pair(function() return false end)
            :with_del(function() return false end)
            :with_cr(function() return false end)
            :use_key(punct)
    }
end

Expand pair only on enter key

npairs.clear_rules()

for _,bracket in pairs { { '(', ')' }, { '[', ']' }, { '{', '}' } } do
  npairs.add_rules {
    Rule(bracket[1], bracket[2])
      :end_wise(function() return true end)
  }
end

                return true
            end
            return false
        end)
        :replace_endpair(function(opts)
            local prev_2char = opts.line:sub(opts.col - 2, opts.col - 1)
            local next_char = opts.line:sub(opts.col, opts.col)

        :with_move(cond.none())

Expand multiple pairs on enter key

Similarly to vim-closer. It tries to close all of the opened pairs in that line when pressing <CR>.

Before:

(function () { |

After pressing <CR>:

(function () {
    |
})

-- https://github.com/rstacruz/vim-closer/blob/master/autoload/closer.vim
local get_closing_for_line = function (line)
  local i = -1
  local clo = ''

  while true do
    i, _= string.find(line, "[%(%)%{%}%[%]]", i + 1)
    if i == nil then break end
    local ch = string.sub(line, i, i)
    local st = string.sub(clo, 1, 1)

    if ch == '{' then
      clo = '}' .. clo
    elseif ch == '}' then
      if st ~= '}' then return '' end
      clo = string.sub(clo, 2)
    elseif ch == '(' then
      clo = ')' .. clo
    elseif ch == ')' then
      if st ~= ')' then return '' end
      clo = string.sub(clo, 2)
    elseif ch == '[' then
      clo = ']' .. clo
    elseif ch == ']' then
      if st ~= ']' then return '' end
      clo = string.sub(clo, 2)
    end
  end

  return clo
end

autopairs.remove_rule('(')
autopairs.remove_rule('{')
autopairs.remove_rule('[')

autopairs.add_rule(
  Rule("[%(%{%[]", "")
  :use_regex(true)
  :replace_endpair(function(opts)
    return get_closing_for_line(opts.line)
  end)
  :end_wise()
