# Neovim Ruby
[](https://github.com/neovim/neovim-ruby/actions)
[](https://badge.fury.io/rb/neovim)
Ruby support for [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim).
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem "neovim"
```
And then execute:
```shell
bundle
```
Or install it yourself as:
```shell
gem install neovim
```
## Usage
Neovim supports the `--listen` option for specifying an address to serve its RPC API. To connect to Neovim over a Unix socket, start it up like this:
```shell
$ nvim --listen /tmp/nvim.sock
```
You can then connect to that socket path to get a `Neovim::Client`:
```ruby
require "neovim"
client = Neovim.attach_unix("/tmp/nvim.sock")
```
Refer to the [`Neovim` docs](https://www.rubydoc.info/github/neovim/neovim-ruby/main/Neovim) for other ways to connect to `nvim`, and the [`Neovim::Client` docs](https://www.rubydoc.info/github/neovim/neovim-ruby/main/Neovim/Client) for a summary of the client interface.
### Remote Modules
Remote modules allow users to define custom handlers in Ruby. To implement a remote module:
- Define your handlers in a plain Ruby script that imports `neovim`
- Spawn the script from lua using `jobstart`
- Define commands in lua using `nvim_create_user_command` that route to the job's channel ID
For usage examples, see:
- [`example_remote_module.rb`](spec/acceptance/runtime/example_remote_module.rb)
- [`example_remote_module.lua`](spec/acceptance/runtime/plugin/example_remote_module.lua)
- [`remote_module_spec.vim`](spec/acceptance/remote_module_spec.vim)
*Note*: Remote modules are a replacement for the deprecated "remote plugin" architecture. See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27949 for details.
### Vim Plugin Support
The Neovim gem also acts as a compatibility layer for Ruby plugins written for `vim`. The `:ruby`, `:rubyfile`, and `:rubydo` commands are intended to match their original behavior, and their documentation can be found [here](https://neovim.io/doc/user/if_ruby.html).
