nvim-coderun

A nvim plugin for customizing run commands for different programming languages.

How it works

nvim-coderun searches for a specific file in directory ancestors to determine the project root, then it runs the configured command with the found folder as the workdir.

Installing

Packer

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  use 'JonathanxD/nvim-coderun'
end)

Configuration

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  use 'JonathanxD/nvim-coderun'

  require('nvim-coderun').setup{
    ftypes = {
      rust = {
        files = { 'Cargo.toml' },
        run = { cmd = 'cargo run' }
      }
    }
  }
end)

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  use 'JonathanxD/nvim-coderun'

  require('nvim-coderun').setup{
    ftypes = {
      rust = {
        files = { 'Cargo.toml' },
        run = { 
          cmd_function = function(attrs)
            if next(attrs.args) == nil then
              return 'cargo run'
            end
            return 'cargo run ' .. table.concat(attrs.args, ' ')
          end          
        }
      }
    }
  }
end)

Windowed mode

If you want a new window to be opened instead of a hsplit, you can set windowed = true:

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  use 'JonathanxD/nvim-coderun'

  require('nvim-coderun').setup {
    windowed = true,
  }
end)

This is currently the recommended mode to be used, as it is less problematic than the hsplit mode.
