Introduction

The nvim-khalorg plugin sends folds in an org document to khalorg through stdin. The functions are exposed through nvim-orgmode its custom export option.

Installation

Install using your favorite plugin manager. For example packer:

use {'nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter'}
use {'nvim-orgmode/orgmode'}
use {'BartSte/nvim-khalorg'}

where nvim-treesitter and nvim-orgmode are required. Also, make sure you installed khalorg, which can be found here: https://github.com/BartSte/khalorg

Configuration

The following configuration options are available through the require("khalorg").setup function:

calendar: The name of the calendar to use (default: 'default').

Configuring nvim-khalorg can be done by placing the following in your init.lua:

require("khalorg").setup({
    calendar = 'my_calendar'
})

where you need to replace 'my_calendar' with the khal calendar you want to use. You can add the export functions of nvim-khalorg to nvim-orgmode by adding the following to your init.lua:

local khalorg = require('khalorg')
orgmode.setup_ts_grammar()
orgmode.setup({
    org_custom_exports = {
        n = { label = 'Add a new khal item', action = khalorg.new },
        d = { label = 'Delete a khal item', action = khalorg.delete },
        e = { label = 'Edit properties of a khal item', action = khalorg.edit },
        E = { label = 'Edit properties & dates of a khal item', action = khalorg.edit_all }
    }
})

Usage

After configuring nvim-khalorg as is described above, you can access them through orgmode-org_export (default mapping: <leader>oe). More information can be found by running :help orgmode-org_export.

Functions

The following functions are provided that send a fold in an org file to a khalorg command through stdin:

require("khalorg").new(): add a new item to khal.
require("khalorg").delete(): delete a khal item.
require("khalorg").edit_props(): edit properties of a khal item, the dates are not updated.
require("khalorg").edit_all(): edit properties of a khal item together with the dates.

The following function is used to create the functions above and can be used to make your own khalorg export functions.

require("khalorg").make_exporter(<khalorg_command>):
Returns a function that, when called, does the following:
1. Get the current fold.
2. Get the start and end line of the fold.
3. Get the text of the fold.
4. Send the text of the fold to <khalorg_command> through stdin.

The example below shows how to use khalorg.make_exporter function to create the khalorg.new function:

new = khalorg.make_exporter('khalorg new my_calendar')
