Features
- Create annotations with one keybind, and jump your cursor in the inserted annotation
- Defaults for multiple languages and annotation conventions
- Extremely customizable and extensible
- Written in lua (and uses Tree-sitter)
Requirements
- Install nvim-treesitter
Installation
Use your favorite package manager to install Neogen, e.g:
use {
"danymat/neogen",
config = function()
require('neogen').setup {}
end,
requires = "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
-- Uncomment next line if you want to follow only stable versions
-- tag = "*"
}
Usage
- If you want to keep it simple, you can use the
:Neogen
command:
" will generate annotation for the function you're inside
:Neogen
" or you can force a certain type of annotation.
" It'll find the next upper node that matches the type
" E.g if you're on a method of a class and do `:Neogen class`, it'll find the class declaration and generate the annotation.
:Neogen func|class|type|...
- If you like to use the lua API, I exposed a function to generate the annotations.
require('neogen').generate()
You can bind it to your keybind of choice, like so:
local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<Leader>nf", ":lua require('neogen').generate()<CR>", opts)
Calling the generate
function without any parameters will try to generate annotations for the current function.
You can provide some options for the generate, like so:
require('neogen').generate({
type = "func" -- the annotation type to generate. Currently supported: func, class, type, file
})
For example, I can add an other keybind to generate class annotations:
local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<Leader>nc", ":lua require('neogen').generate({ type = 'class' })<CR>", opts)
Cycle between annotations
I added support passing cursor positionings in templates. That means you can now cycle your cursor between different parts of the annotation.
If you want to map some keys to the cycling feature, you can do like so:
local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("i", "<C-l>", ":lua require('neogen').jump_next<CR>", opts)
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("i", "<C-h>", ":lua require('neogen').jump_prev<CR>", opts)
Or, if you want to use a key that's already used for completion purposes, take a look at the code snippet here:
nvim-cmp
local cmp = require('cmp')
local neogen = require('neogen')
cmp.setup {
...
-- You must set mapping if you want.
mapping = {
["<tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
if require('neogen').jumpable() then
require('neogen').jump_next()
else
fallback()
end
end, {
"i",
"s",
}),
["<S-tab>"] = cmp.mapping(function(fallback)
if require('neogen').jumpable(true) then
require('neogen').jump_prev()
else
fallback()
end
end, {
"i",
"s",
}),
},
...
}
Configuration
require('neogen').setup {
enabled = true, --if you want to disable Neogen
input_after_comment = true, -- (default: true) automatic jump (with insert mode) on inserted annotation
-- jump_map = "<C-e>" -- (DROPPED SUPPORT, see [here](#cycle-between-annotations) !) The keymap in order to jump in the annotation fields (in insert mode)
}
}
If you're not satisfied with the default configuration for a language, you can change the defaults like this:
require('neogen').setup {
enabled = true,
languages = {
lua = {
template = {
annotation_convention = "emmylua" -- for a full list of annotation_conventions, see supported-languages below,
... -- for more template configurations, see the language's configuration file in configurations/{lang}.lua
}
},
...
}
}
