README
# `nvim-ts-context-commentstring`
A Neovim plugin for setting the `commentstring` option based on the cursor
location in the file. The location is checked via treesitter queries.
This is useful when there are embedded languages in certain types of files. For
example, Vue files can have many different sections, each of which can have a
different style for comments.
Note that this plugin *only* changes the `commentstring` setting. It does not
add any mappings for commenting. It is recommended to use a commenting plugin
like [`Comment.nvim`](https://github.com/numToStr/Comment.nvim) alongside this
plugin.
## Getting started
**Requirements:**
- [Neovim version 0.9.4](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/v0.9.4)
- Tree-sitter parsers (e.g. installed with [nvim-treesitter](https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter))
**Installation:**
Use your favorite plugin manager. For example, here's how it would look like
with [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim):
```lua
require('lazy').setup {
'JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring',
}
```
**Setup:**
For most commenting plugins, this is all you need and the defaults should work
out of the box. However, some commenting plugins require a bit more set up. See
the [Configuration section](#configuration) for more details about the different
plugins.
If you want to change the configuration, call the `setup` function of this
plugin, e.g.:
```lua
require('ts_context_commentstring').setup {
enable_autocmd = false,
}
```
> **Note**
>
> There is a minimal configuration file available at
> [`utils/minimal_init.lua`](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/blob/main/utils/minimal_init.lua) for reference.
> **Note**
>
> Don't forget to use `:h lua-heredoc` if you're using `init.vim`.
## Configuration
It is recommended to use a commenting plugin that has an integration available
with this plugin. Then, the `commentstring` calculation can be triggered only
when commenting. The available integrations are listed in the
[wiki](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/wiki/Integrations).
The following plugins have an integration available:
- [Native Neovim commenting](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/wiki/Integrations#native-commenting-in-neovim-010)
- [`b3nj5m1n/kommentary`](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/wiki/Integrations#kommentary)
- [`terrortylor/nvim-comment`](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/wiki/Integrations#nvim-comment)
- [`numToStr/Comment.nvim`](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/wiki/Integrations#commentnvim)
- [`echasnovski/mini.nvim/mini-comment`](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/wiki/Integrations#minicomment)
- [`tpope/vim-commentary`](https://github.com/JoosepAlviste/nvim-ts-context-commentstring/wiki/Integrations#vim-commentary)
However, if an integration is not set up, then the default behavior is to
calculate the `commentstring` on the `CursorHold` autocmd, meaning that the
`:h updatetime` should be set to a smaller value than the default of 4s:
```lua
vim.opt.updatetime = 100
```
> **Note**
>
> For more advanced configuration options, see `:h ts-context-commentstring`.
## More demos
**React:**
**Svelte:**
**HTML:**
**Nesting:**
I injected HTML into JavaScript strings and created multiple levels of nesting
with language tree. This sort of nesting of languages works without any extra
configuration in the plugin.
