# nvim-libmodal

This is a rewrite of [vim-libmodal](https://github.com/Iron-E/vim-libmodal) using Neovim's Lua API. This project aims to be cross-compatable with `vim-libmodal`— with a few notable exceptions (see the [FAQ](#FAQ)).

## Installation

Either use `packadd` or any package manager. I recommend using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim).

### Requirements

* Neovim 0.7+.
* `vim-libmodal` is _not_ installed.

### Examples

#### lazy.nvim

```lua
{'Iron-E/nvim-libmodal',
lazy = true, -- don't load until necessary
version = '^3.0', -- OPTIONAL: unsubscribe from breaking changes
},
```

#### packer.nvim

```lua
return require('packer').startup {function(use)
use 'Iron-E/nvim-libmodal'
end}
```

## Usage

The following plugins have been constructed using `nvim-libmodal`:

* [`nvim-bufmode`](https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-bufmode)
* [`nvim-marktext`](https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-marktext)
* [`nvim-tabmode`](https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-tabmode)

The following samples have been constructed using `nvim-libmodal`:

* [`mode-codedoc`](https://gitlab.com/Iron_E/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.config/nvim/lua/mode-codedoc.lua)
* [The Official Lua Examples](https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-libmodal/tree/master/examples/lua)
* [The Official Vimscript Examples](https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-libmodal/tree/master/examples)

See [docs](./doc) for more information.

### Statusline

You can add `libmodal` modes to your status line. Here are a few examples of how to integrate with existing plugins.

#### feline.nvim

See my configuration for `feline.nvim` [here](https://gitlab.com/Iron_E/dotfiles/-/blob/78e17b41cadd1660f8d3506ffce093437eb80aae/.config/nvim/lua/plugin/feline.lua#L134-160)

#### galaxyline.nvim

See my configuration for `galaxyline.nvim` [here](https://gitlab.com/Iron_E/dotfiles/-/blob/edf3e1c9779bbc81002832bb03ec875dc86cc16b/.config/nvim/lua/plugin/galaxyline.lua#L140-163).

## FAQ

### nvim-libmodal vs. vim-libmodal

The following is a list of expressions that work in `nvim-libmodal` but not `vim-libmodal`:

* `require 'libmodal'` in Lua.
* `vim-libmodal` does not support interacting with it through Lua, you must use the Vimscript interface.

The following is a list of expressions that work in `vim-libmodal` but not `nvim-libmodal`:

* `call libmodal#Enter('FOO', funcref('bar'), baz)` in Vimscript.
* Lua does not support passing `funcref`s from Vimscript. Try using the Lua interface instead.
* `call libmodal#Prompt('FOO', funcref('bar'), baz)` in Vimscript.
* Lua does not support passing `funcref`s from Vimscript. Try using the Lua interface instead.
