# vimi
This project is an attempt at creating a simple vimscript interpreter.
Vimi is able to take as input a vimscript and execute it, and hence
it makes vim more similar to any other full-fledged programming
language.
## Installation
In order to install vimi we can simply clone this repo
and execute the install.sh script by doing:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/gnebbia/vimi
```
and then:
```sh
cd vimi/
bash install.sh
```
## Executing a script
Like other programming languages, we can execute our vim script
by calling the vimscript interpreter like this:
```sh
vimi myscript.vim
```
As a demo example, let's create a simple script which we will
call example.vim with the following content:
```vim
"take user input
let ciao = Input("Type something: ")
"print to screen what user inserted
echo "You inserted: " . ciao
"print to screen arguments passed"
let passed_args = Argv()
echo(passed_args)
```
vimi will execute the script by executing:
```sh
vimi example.vim --arg1 value1 --arg2 value2 -v
```
## License
The vimi interpreter is under GPLv3 license. Please see LICENSE file for more
details.
