# cmp-fuzzy-path



`nvim-cmp` source for filesystem paths, employing `fd` and regular expressions to

find files.



Depends on [fuzzy.nvim](https://github.com/tzachar/fuzzy.nvim) (which depends

either on `fzf` or on `fzy`).



To facilitate fuzzy matching, when `cmp-fuzzy-path` tries to find a path the

path is first transformed to a regular expression like this: `p/t/f` -->

`p.*/.*t.*/.*f.'`, which will match `path/to/file` and also

`pa/toooo/other_file`.



To prevent excessive invocations of this plugin, the completion will only be

triggered when the string currently being entered matches a path regular

expression. To quickly trigger completions, make sure to either use a leading `/`

or a leading './'



In spcecial cases, while in command mode, the plugin will be invoked regardless

to facilitate faster file searching. This behaviour is implemented only when the

first character of the command is in `{'e', 'w'}`.



# Installation



Using [Packer](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim/) with `fzf`:

```lua

use {'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'make'}

use "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp"

use {'tzachar/cmp-fuzzy-path', requires = {'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp', 'tzachar/fuzzy.nvim'}}

```



Using [Packer](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim/) with `fzy`:

```lua

use {'romgrk/fzy-lua-native', run = 'make'}

use "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp"

use {'tzachar/cmp-fuzzy-path', requires = {'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp', 'tzachar/fuzzy.nvim'}}

```



You should have `fd` in your `PATH`, or edit the configuation to point at the

exact location.



# Setup



```lua

require'cmp'.setup {

  sources = cmp.config.sources({

    { name = 'fuzzy_path'},

  })

}

```



This plugin can also be used to complete file names for `:edit` or `:write` in cmdline mode of cmp:

```lua

cmp.setup.cmdline(':', {

  sources = cmp.config.sources({

    { name = 'fuzzy_path' }

  })

})

```



*Note:* the plugin's name is `fuzzy_path` in `cmp`'s config.



# Configuration



Configuration can be passed when configuring `cmp`:



```lua

cmp.setup.cmdline(':', {

  sources = cmp.config.sources({

    { name = 'fuzzy_path', option = {fd_timeout_msec = 1500} }

  })

})

```



## fd_timeout_msec (type: int)



_Default:_ 500



How much grace to give the file finder before killing it. If you set this to too

short a value, you will probably not get enough suggestions.



## fd_cmd (type: table(string))



_Default:_ `{'fd', '-d', '20', '-p'}`



The commend to use as a file finder. Note that `-p` is needed so we match on the

entire path, not just on the file or directory name.



Please note that, by default, `fd` returns only files. If you want directories,

you need to add `-t d -t f` to `fd_cmd` table.



# Sorting



`cmp-fuzzy-path` adds a score entry to each completion item's `data` field,

which can be used to override `cmp`'s default sorting order:



```lua

local compare = require('cmp.config.compare')

cmp.setup({

  sorting = {

    priority_weight = 2,

    comparators = {

      require('cmp_fuzzy_path.compare'),

      compare.offset,

      compare.exact,

      compare.score,

      compare.recently_used,

      compare.kind,

      compare.sort_text,

      compare.length,

      compare.order,

    },

  },

}

```



# Commands



`cmp-fuzzy-path` add the following commands:



## `CmpFuzzyStats`



`CmpFuzzyStats` can be used to gather statistics about the operation of the

plugin. Output contains the following: 



- Total Usage Count: how many times the plugin was called

- Timeout Count: how many times we reached a timeout

- Average Search Time: the average time it took to complete the search
