Primary LanguageLuaMIT LicenseMIT

barbecue.nvim

This is a VS Code like winbar that uses nvim-navic in order to get LSP context from your language server.

demo.mp4

✨ Features

  • 🖱️ Jump to any context by just clicking on it.

  • 🌲 Have a deeply nested file-tree/context? It's gonna get rid of the less useful parts smartly.

  • 📂 Easily tell where your file is located at by looking at your winbar.

  • 📜 Put whatever your heart desires in the custom section.

📬 Dependencies

📦 Installation

NOTE: Make sure barbecue loads after your colorscheme.

  • lazy.nvim

    {
      "utilyre/barbecue.nvim",
      name = "barbecue",
      version = "*",
      dependencies = {
        "SmiteshP/nvim-navic",
        "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- optional dependency
      },
      opts = {
        -- configurations go here
      },
    }
  • packer.nvim

    use({
      "utilyre/barbecue.nvim",
      tag = "*",
      requires = {
        "SmiteshP/nvim-navic",
        "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- optional dependency
      },
      after = "nvim-web-devicons", -- keep this if you're using NvChad
      config = function()
        require("barbecue").setup()
      end,
    })

🚀 Usage

Barbecue will work right after installation, but there are several things you should be aware of.

Command

Run :Barbecue and you'll be prompted to select a subcommand, choose one and press <enter> to execute.

You can also run :Barbecue [sub] where [sub] is one of the subcommands you've seen in the select menu of raw :Barbecue.

API

  • Toggle barbecue [source]

    -- hide barbecue globally
    require("barbecue.ui").toggle(false)
    
    -- show barbecue globally
    require("barbecue.ui").toggle(true)
    
    -- toggle barbecue globally
    require("barbecue.ui").toggle()
  • Update barbecue (e.g. in an autocmd) [source]

    -- update the current window's winbar
    require("barbecue.ui").update()
    
    -- update the given window's winbar
    require("barbecue.ui").update(winnr)
  • Navigate to entry [source]

    -- navigate to the second entry
    require("barbecue.ui").navigate(2)
    
    -- navigate to the last entry
    require("barbecue.ui").navigate(-1)
    
    -- just like before but on the given window
    require("barbecue.ui").navigate(index, winnr)

🍴 Recipes

  • Gain better performance when moving the cursor around

    -- triggers CursorHold event faster
    vim.opt.updatetime = 200
    
    require("barbecue").setup({
      create_autocmd = false, -- prevent barbecue from updating itself automatically
    })
    
    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({
      "WinScrolled", -- or WinResized on NVIM-v0.9 and higher
      "BufWinEnter",
      "CursorHold",
      "InsertLeave",
    
      -- include this if you have set `show_modified` to `true`
      "BufModifiedSet",
    }, {
      group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("barbecue.updater", {}),
      callback = function()
        require("barbecue.ui").update()
      end,
    })
  • Customize theme

    You can pass a theme table to the setup function and override the default theme. This theme table links each highlight to its value (value is the same type as val parameter in :help nvim_set_hl).

    require("barbecue").setup({
      theme = {
        -- this highlight is used to override other highlights
        -- you can take advantage of its `bg` and set a background throughout your winbar
        -- (e.g. basename will look like this: { fg = "#c0caf5", bold = true })
        normal = { fg = "#c0caf5" },
    
        -- these highlights correspond to symbols table from config
        ellipsis = { fg = "#737aa2" },
        separator = { fg = "#737aa2" },
        modified = { fg = "#737aa2" },
        diagnostics = { fg = "#ff0000" },
    
        -- these highlights represent the _text_ of three main parts of barbecue
        dirname = { fg = "#737aa2" },
        basename = { bold = true },
        context = {},
    
        -- these highlights are used for context/navic icons
        context_file = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_module = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_namespace = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_package = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_class = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_method = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_property = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_field = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_constructor = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_enum = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_interface = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_function = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_variable = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_constant = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_string = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_number = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_boolean = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_array = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_object = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_key = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_null = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_enum_member = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_struct = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_event = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_operator = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
        context_type_parameter = { fg = "#ac8fe4" },
      },
    })
  • Get nvim-navic working with multiple tabs (#35)

    require("barbecue").setup({
      attach_navic = false, -- prevent barbecue from automatically attaching nvim-navic
    })
    
    require("lspconfig")[server].setup({
      -- ...
    
      on_attach = function(client, bufnr)
        -- ...
    
        if client.server_capabilities["documentSymbolProvider"] then
          require("nvim-navic").attach(client, bufnr)
        end
    
        -- ...
      end,
