Interactive Repls Over Neovim



## What is iron.nvim



[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/495376.svg)](https://asciinema.org/a/495376)

Iron allows you to quickly interact with the repl without having to leave your work buffer



It both a plugin and a library, allowing for better user experience and extensibility at the same time.



## How to install



Using [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim) (or the plugin manager of your choice):



```lua

  use {'Vigemus/iron.nvim'}

```



As of version 3.0, Iron uses milestones and tags to manage releases. If you want to use the stable versions, use the following:

```lua

  use {'Vigemus/iron.nvim', tag = ""}

```



## How to configure



Below is a very simple configuration for iron:



```lua

local iron = require("iron.core")



iron.setup {

  config = {

    -- Whether a repl should be discarded or not

    scratch_repl = true,

    -- Your repl definitions come here

    repl_definition = {

      sh = {

        -- Can be a table or a function that

        -- returns a table (see below)

        command = {"zsh"}

      },

      python = {

        command = { "python3" },  -- or { "ipython", "--no-autoindent" }

        format = require("iron.fts.common").bracketed_paste_python

      }

    },

    -- How the repl window will be displayed

    -- See below for more information

    repl_open_cmd = require('iron.view').bottom(40),

  },

  -- Iron doesn't set keymaps by default anymore.

  -- You can set them here or manually add keymaps to the functions in iron.core

  keymaps = {

    send_motion = "sc",

    visual_send = "sc",

    send_file = "sf",

    send_line = "sl",

    send_paragraph = "sp",

    send_until_cursor = "su",

    send_mark = "sm",

    mark_motion = "mc",

    mark_visual = "mc",

    remove_mark = "md",

    cr = "s",

    interrupt = "s",

    exit = "sq",

    clear = "cl",

  },

  -- If the highlight is on, you can change how it looks

  -- For the available options, check nvim_set_hl

  highlight = {

    italic = true

  },

  ignore_blank_lines = true, -- ignore blank lines when sending visual select lines

}



-- iron also has a list of commands, see :h iron-commands for all available commands

vim.keymap.set('n', 'rs', 'IronRepl')

vim.keymap.set('n', 'rr', 'IronRestart')

vim.keymap.set('n', 'rf', 'IronFocus')

vim.keymap.set('n', 'rh', 'IronHide')

```



The repl `command` can also be a function:



```lua

iron.setup{

  config = {

    repl_definition = {

      -- custom repl that loads the current file

      haskell = {

        command = function(meta)

          local filename = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(meta.current_bufnr)

          return { 'cabal', 'v2-repl', filename}

        end

      }

    },

  },

}

```



### REPL windows



iron.nvim supports both splits and floating windows and has helper functions for opening new repls

in either of them:



#### For splits



If you prefer using splits to your repls, iron provides a few utility functions to make it simpler:



```lua

local view = require("iron.view")



-- iron.setup {...



-- One can always use the default commands from vim directly

repl_open_cmd = "vertical botright 80 split"



-- But iron provides some utility functions to allow you to declare that dynamically,

-- based on editor size or custom logic, for example.



-- Vertical 50 columns split

-- Split has a metatable that allows you to set up the arguments in a "fluent" API

-- you can write as you would write a vim command.

-- It accepts:

--   - vertical

--   - leftabove/aboveleft

--   - rightbelow/belowright

--   - topleft

--   - botright

-- They'll return a metatable that allows you to set up the next argument

-- or call it with a size parameter

repl_open_cmd = view.split.vertical.botright(50)



-- If the supplied number is a fraction between 1 and 0,

-- it will be used as a proportion

repl_open_cmd = view.split.vertical.botright(0.61903398875)



-- The size parameter can be a number, a string or a function.

-- When it's a *number*, it will be the size in rows/columns

-- If it's a *string*, it requires a "%" sign at the end and is calculated

-- as a percentage of the editor size

-- If it's a *function*, it should return a number for the size of rows/columns



repl_open_cmd = view.split("40%")



-- You can supply custom logic

-- to determine the size of your

-- repl's window

repl_open_cmd = view.split.topleft(function()

  if some_check then

    return vim.o.lines * 0.4

  end

  return 20

end)



-- An optional set of options can be given to the split function if one

-- wants to configure the window behavior.

-- Note that, by default `winfixwidth` and `winfixheight` are set

-- to `true`. If you want to overwrite those values,

-- you need to specify the keys in the option map as the example below



repl_open_cmd = view.split("40%", {

  winfixwidth = false,

  winfixheight = false,

  -- any window-local configuration can be used here

  number = true

})

```



#### For floats



If you prefer floats, the API is the following:



```lua

local view = require("iron.view")



-- iron.setup {...



-- The same size arguments are valid for float functions

repl_open_cmd = view.top("10%")



-- `view.center` takes either one or two arguments

repl_open_cmd = view.center("30%", 20)



-- If you supply only one, it will be used for both dimensions

-- The function takes an argument to whether the orientation is vertical(true) or

-- horizontal (false)

repl_open_cmd = view.center(function(vertical)

-- Useless function, but it will be called twice,

-- once for each dimension (width, height)

  if vertical then

    return 50

  end

  return 20

end)



-- `view.offset` allows you to control both the size of each dimension and

-- the distance of them from the top-left corner of the screen

repl_open_cmd = view.offset{

  width = 60,

  height = vim.o.height * 0.75

  w_offset = 0,

  h_offset = "5%"

}



-- Some helper functions allow you to calculate the offset

-- in relation to the size of the window.

-- While all other sizing functions take only the orientation boolean (vertical or not),

-- for offsets, the functions will also take the repl size in that dimension

-- as argument. The helper functions then return a function that takes two arguments

-- to calculate the offset

repl_open_cmd = view.offset{

  width = 60,

  height = vim.o.height * 0.75

  -- `view.helpers.flip` will subtract the size of the REPL

  -- window from the total dimension, then apply an offset.

  -- Effectively, it flips the top/left to bottom/right orientation

  w_offset = view.helpers.flip(2),

  -- `view.helpers.proportion` allows you to apply a relative

  -- offset considering the REPL window size.

  -- for example, 0.5 will centralize the REPL in that dimension,

  -- 0 will pin it to the top/left and 1 will pin it to the bottom/right.

  h_offset = view.helpers.proportion(0.5)

}



-- Differently from `view.center`, all arguments are required

-- and no defaults will be applied if something is missing.

repl_open_cmd = view.offset{

  width = 60,

  height = vim.o.height * 0.75

  -- Since we know we're using this function in the width offset

  -- calculation, we can ignore the argument

  w_offset = function(_, repl_size)

    -- Ideally this function calculates a value based on something..

    return 42

  end,

  h_offset = view.helpers.flip(2)

}

```
