Nvim-Utils: Utilities for writing Neovim plugins in Rust

DeepSource DeepSource

Interacting with Neovim's lua api in Rust can be a bit of a pain. nvim-utils aims to make it easier and quicker to develop Neovim plugins in Rust by removing as much of the required boilerplate as possible, and implementing bindings for the vim.* lua api.

Installation

cargo add nvim-utils

Features

nvim-utils provides utilities for:

  • Declaratively building lua modules using mlua
  • Interacting with Neovim's lua api
  • Logging using vim.notify
  • Accessing common lua builtin functions like require and print
  • And more to come!
