## Requirements
* Neovim 0.9 or later
* [nvim-treesitter](https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter)
## Setup
Install the plugin and the requirements using your favourite method. Once installed, make sure you configured treesitter [highlighting](https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter#modules) then add the following to your lua config
```lua
require('nvim-dap-repl-highlights').setup()
```
After initially setting up the plugin the dap_repl parser needs to be installed, this can be done manually by running `:TSInstall dap_repl` or by using the `ensure_installed` option of nvim-treesitter.
**NOTE:** If you use the `ensure_installed` option you must first setup `nvim-dap-repl-highlights` or else the `dap_repl` parser won't be found, for example
```lua
require('nvim-dap-repl-highlights').setup()
require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup {
highlight = {
enable = true,
},
ensure_installed = { 'dap_repl', ... },
...
}
```
## Usage
By default, the plugin detects the language to use in the REPL by looking at the **filetype** used to to launch dap. Obviously in order to have syntax highlighting for certain language you will need to have a treesitter parser for that language, alongside the `dap_repl` parser.
This may not fit all use cases.
You could instead use the command `:lua require('nvim-dap-repl-highlights').setup_highlights('python')` which will set python highlights in the current repl buffer.
Alternatively the function can be called without specifiying the language, this will prompt the user for a language.
Additionally you could specify in the **dap** configuration the repl language to use, for example if you want your python repl to have javascript highlighting:
```lua
local dap = require('dap')
dap.configurations.python = {
{
name = "Python with javascript repl because I like to watch the world burn 🔥🔥🔥",
type = "python",
request = "launch",
program = "${file}",
repl_lang = "javascript"
},
}
```
The repl_lang option takes precedence over the filetype.
