# messages.nvim
Capture and show any messages in a customisable (floating) buffer.

## Installation
For example using [`packer`](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim):
```lua
use {
'AckslD/messages.nvim',
config = 'require("messages").setup()',
}
```

## Usage
Prefix and command with `Messages`, for example:
```
:Messages messages
```

You can also pass any lua object to `require('messages.api').capture_thing`. A tip is to add the following global function in your config:
```lua
Msg = function(...)
require('messages.api').capture_thing(...)
end
```
Then you can do for example
```
:lua Msg(vim.lsp)
```

## Configuration
Pass a dictionary into `require("messages").setup()` with callback functions.
These are the defaults:
```lua
require('messages').setup({
command_name = 'Messages',
-- should prepare a new buffer and return the winid
-- by default opens a floating window
-- provide a different callback to change this behaviour
-- @param opts: the return value from float_opts
prepare_buffer = function(opts)
local buf = vim.api.nvim_create_buf(false, true)
return vim.api.nvim_open_win(buf, true, opts)
end,
-- should return options passed to prepare_buffer
-- @param lines: a list of the lines of text
buffer_opts = function(lines)
local gheight = vim.api.nvim_list_uis()[1].height
local gwidth = vim.api.nvim_list_uis()[1].width
return {
relative = 'editor',
width = gwidth - 2,
height = clip_val(1, #lines, gheight * 0.5),
anchor = 'SW',
row = gheight - 1,
col = 0,
style = 'minimal',
border = 'rounded',
zindex = 1,
}
end,
-- what to do after opening the float
post_open_float = function(winnr)
end
})
```
