# nvim-if-lua-compat

An `if_lua` compatibility layer for Neovim (WIP, needs testing)

## Goals

Maintain some amount of compatibility with the existing Vim interface for Lua (see also: [neovim/neovim#12537](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/12537)).

## Progress

Items annotated with an asterisk `*` are only partially supported.

- [x] * `vim.list()` (actually a Lua table, `luaeval()` just makes a copy and transforms it into a Vim list...)

    - [x] `#l`

    - [x] `l[k]`

    - [x] `l()`

    - [x] `table.insert(l, newitem)`

    - [x] `table.insert(l, position, newitem)`

    - [x] `table.remove(l, position)`

    - [x] `l:add(item)`

    - [x] `l:insert(item[, pos])`

- [x] * `vim.dict()` (actually a Lua table, `luaeval()` just makes a copy and transforms it into a Vim dict...)

    - [x] * `#d` (Only works with Lua 5.2+ or LuaJIT built with 5.2 extensions)

    - [x] `d.key` or `d['key']`

    - [x] `d()`

- [x] * `vim.blob()` (actually a Lua table)

    - [x] * `#b` (Only works with Lua 5.2+ or LuaJIT built with 5.2 extensions)

    - [x] `b[k]`

    - [x] `b:add(bytes)`

- [x] `vim.funcref()` (exists in Neovim core, but the implementation is different here)

    - [x] * `#f` (Only works with Lua 5.2+ or LuaJIT built with 5.2 extensions)

    - [x] `f(...)`

- [x] `vim.buffer()`

    - [x] `b()`

    - [x] * `#b` (Only works with Lua 5.2+ or LuaJIT built with 5.2 extensions)

    - [x] `b[k]`

    - [x] `b.name`

    - [x] `b.fname`

    - [x] `b.number`

    - [x] `b:insert(newline[, pos])`

    - [x] `b:next()`

    - [x] `b:previous()`

    - [x] `b:isvalid()`

- [x] `vim.window()`

    - [x] `w()`

    - [x] `w.buffer`

    - [x] `w.line` (get and set)

    - [x] `w.col` (get and set)

    - [x] `w.width` (get and set)

    - [x] `w.height` (get and set)

    - [x] `w:next()`

    - [x] `w:previous()`

    - [x] `w:isvalid()`

- [x] `vim.type()`

    - [x] `list`

    - [x] `dict`

    - [x] `blob`

    - [x] `funcref`

    - [x] `buffer`

    - [x] `window`

- [x] `vim.command()` (alias to `vim.api.nvim_command()`)

- [x] * `vim.eval()` (alias to `vim.api.nvim_eval()`, doesn't actually return a `vim.list/dict/blob`)

- [x] `vim.line()` (alias to `vim.api.nvim_get_current_line()`)

- [x] `vim.beep()`

- [x] `vim.open()`

- [x] `vim.call()` (in Neovim core)

- [x] `vim.fn()` (in Neovim core)
