|
You can check [this](https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim/projects/3) out if you want to see what is currently being worked on.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to create an issue/pr if you want to see anything else implemented.
|
|
|
|
## Screenshots
|
|
Here is a preview of how lualine can look like.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Screenshots of all available themes are listed in [THEMES.md](./THEMES.md)
|
|
|
|
For those who want to break the norms. You can create custom looks in lualine .
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Performance compared to other plugins
|
|
Unlike other statusline plugins lualine loads only defined components, nothing else.
|
|
|
|
Startup time performance measured with an amazing plugin [tweekmonster/startuptime.vim](https://github.com/tweekmonster/startuptime.vim)
|
|
|
|
All times are measured with only `startuptime.vim` and given statusline plugin installed

## Installation
|
|
### [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
|
|
```vim
|
|
Plug 'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim'
|
|
" If you want to have icons in your statusline choose one of these
|
|
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'
|
|
Plug 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'
|
|
```
|
|
### [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)
|
|
```lua
|
|
use {
|
|
'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim',
|
|
requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons', opt = true}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage and customization
|
|
Lualine can be configured with both lua and vimscript.
|
|
Click [here](#lua-config-example) if you want to see a config example in lua and [here](#vimscript-config-example) if you want to see a config example in vimscript.
|
|
|
|
Lualine has sections as shown below.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| A | B | C X | Y | Z |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------+
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each sections holds it's components e.g. current vim's mode.
|
|
Colorscheme of sections is mirrored, meaning section `A` will have the same colorscheme as section `Z` etc.
|
|
|
|
### Starting lualine
|
|
All configurations happens in the setup function
|
|
```lua
|
|
require('lualine').setup{}
|
|
```
|
|
### Setting a theme
|
|
```lua
|
|
options = {theme = 'gruvbox'}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All available themes are listed in [THEMES.md](./THEMES.md)
|
|
|
|
Please create a pr if you managed to port a popular theme before me, [here is how to do it](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Tweeking themes</summary>
|
|
|
|
You like a theme but would like to tweek some colors.
|
|
You can do that in your config easily.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```lua
|
|
local custom_gruvbox = require'lualine.themes.gruvbox'
|
|
|
|
-- Chnage the background of lualine_c section for normal mode
|
|
custom_gruvbox.normal.c.bg = '#112233' -- rgb colors are supported
|
|
|
|
require'lualine'.setup{
|
|
options = { theme = custom_gruvbox },
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
You can checkout structure of a lualine theme [here](https://github.com/hoob3rt/lualine.nvim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-theme)
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Changing separators
|
|
Lualine defines two kinds of seperators. One is for sections and other is for components. Default section seperators are '', '' and component separators are '', ''.
|
|
They require powerline patched fonts. But you can easily change yours to something else like below
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
options = {
|
|
section_separators = {'', ''},
|
|
component_separators = {'', ''}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or disable it
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
options = {section_separators = '', component_separators = ''}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

<summary><b>Using custom functions as lualine component</b></summary>
|
|
|
|
You can define a custom function as a lualine component
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local function hello()
|
|
return [[hello world]]
|
|
end
|
|
sections = {lualine_a = {hello}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
|
|
<summary><b>Using vim functions as lualine component</b></summary>
|
|
|
|
You can use vim functions as a lualine component
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
sections = {lualine_a = {'FugitiveHead'}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary><b>Using variables as lualine component</b></summary>
|
|
|
|
You can use variables from vim a lualine component
|
|
Variables from g:, v:, t:, w:, b:, o, go:, vo:, to:, wo:, bo: scopes
|
|
can be used. Scopes ending with o are options usualy accessed with `&` in vimscript
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
sections = {lualine_a = {'g:coc_status', 'bo:filetype'}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary><b>Using lua expressions as lualine component</b></summary>
|
|
|
|
You can use any valid lua expression as a component . This allows global
|
|
variables to be used as a component too. Even require statements can be used to access values returned by specific scripts.
|
|
One liner functions can be inlined by utilizeing this .
|
|
|
|
For exmaple this will show day of the week.
|
|
And 2nd one will display current value of global variabke data.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
sections = {lualine_c = {"os.data('%a')", 'data'}}
|
|
```
|

|
<summary><b>Options for components</b></summary>
|
|
|
|
### Available options:
|
|
|
|
Options can change the way a component behave.
|
|
There are two kinds of options some that work on every kind of component.
|
|
Even the ones you create like custom function component . And some that only
|
|
work on specific component.
|
|
Detailed list of available options are given below.
|
|
|
|
#### Global options
|
|
These options are available for all components.
|
|
|
|
Option | Default | Behaviour | Supported components
|
|
:------: | :------: | :------: | :--------:
|
|
icons_enabled | true | Displays icons on components You should have nerd-fonts supported fonts to see icons properly. | branch, fileformat, filetype, location, diagnostics
|
|
icon | Differs for each component | Displays an icon in front of the component | All
|
|
padding | 1 | Adds padding to the left and right of components | All
|
|
left_padding | 1 | Adds padding to the left of components | All
|
|
right_padding | 1 | Adds padding to the right of components | All
|
|
separator | (component_separators) | which separator to use at end of component | all
|
|
upper | false | Changes components to be uppercase | All
|
|
lower | false | Changes components to be lowercase | All
|
|
format | nil | Takes a function . The funtion gets the result of component as argument and it's return value is displayed. So this function can parse and format the output as user wants. | All
|
|
condition | nil | Takes a function. The component is loaded if the function returns true otherwise not. It can be used to load some comoonents on specific cases. | All
|
|
color | nil | Sets custom color for the component in this format<br></br>`color = {fg = '#rrggbb', bg= '#rrggbb', gui='style'}`<br></br>The fields of color table are optional and default to theme <br></br>Color option can also be a string containing highlight group name `color = "WarningMsg"`. One neat trick set the color to highlight group name then change that highlight with :hi command to change color of that component at runtime. | All
|
|
|
|
#### Using global options
|
|
Global options can be set in two ways. One is as part of options table in setup.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
require'lualine'.setup{
|
|
options = {
|
|
icons_enabled = true,
|
|
padding = 2,
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
When set this way these values work as default for all component.
|
|
These defaults can be overwritten by setting option as part of component
|
|
configuration like following.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
lualine_a = {
|
|
-- Displays only first char of mode name
|
|
{'mode', format=function(mode_name) return mode_name:sub(1,1) end},
|
|
-- Disables icon for branch component
|
|
{'branch', icons_enabled=false},
|
|
},
|
|
lualine_c = {
|
|
-- Displays filename only when window is wider then 80
|
|
{'filename', condition=function() return vim.fn.winwidth(0) > 80 end},
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Component specific options
|
|
In addition, some components have unique options.
|
|
|
|
* `diagnostics` component options
|
|
|
|
Option | Default | Behaviour | Format
|
|
:------: | :------: | :----: | :---:
|
|
sources | `nil` | displays diagnostic count from defined source | array containing one or many string from set `{'nvim_lsp', 'coc', 'ale', 'vim_lsp'}`
|
|
sections | `{'error', 'warn', 'info'}` | displays diagnostics of defined severity | array containing one or many string from set `{'error', 'warn', 'info'}`
|
|
color_error | `DiffDelete` foreground color | changes diagnostic's error section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
|
|
color_warn | `DiffText` foreground color | changes diagnostic's warn section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
|
|
color_info | `Normal` foreground color | changes diagnostic's info section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
|
|
symbols | `{error = ' ', warn = ' ', info = ' '}` or `{error = 'E:', warn = 'W:', info = 'I:'}` | changes diagnostic's info section foreground color | table containing one or more symbols for levels |
|
|
|
|
* `filename` component options
|
|
|
|
Option | Default | Behaviour
|
|
:------: | :------: | :----:
|
|
file_status | true | Displays file status (readonly status, modified status)
|
|
full_path | false | Displays relative path if set to `true`, absolute path if set to `false`
|
|
shorten | true | if `full_path` is true and `shorten` is `false` it shortens absolute path `aaa/bbb/ccc/file` to `a/b/c/file`
|
|
|
|
* `diff` component options
|
|
|
|
Option | Default | Behaviour | Format
|
|
:------: | :------: | :----: | :---:
|
|
colored | true | displays diff status in color if set to `true` |
|
|
color_added | `DiffAdd` foreground color | changes diff's added section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
|
|
color_modified | `DiffChange` foreground color | changes diff's changed section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
|
|
color_removed | `DiffDelete` foreground color | changes diff's removed section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
|
|
symbols | `{added = '+', modified = '~', removed = '-'}` | changes diff's symbols | table containing on or more symbols |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Component specific options can only be set with component configs.
|
|
|
|
##### Component options example
|
|
```lua
|
|
sections = {
|
|
lualine_b = {
|
|
{'branch', icon = '', upper = true, color = {fg = '#00aa22'}}, {
|
|
'filename',
|
|
full_name = true,
|
|
shorten = true,
|
|
format = function(name)
|
|
-- Capitalize first charecter of filename to capital.
|
|
local path, fname = name:match('(.*/)(.*)')
|
|
if not path then
|
|
path = '';
|
|
fname = name
|
|
end
|
|
return path .. fname:sub(1, 1):upper() .. fname:sub(2, #fname)
|
|
end
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</details>
|

<details>
|
|
<summary><b>Using tabline as statusline (statusline on top)</b></summary>
|
|
You can use lualine to display components in tabline.
|
|
The sections, configurations and highlights are same as statusline.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
tabline = {
|
|
lualine_a = {},
|
|
lualine_b = {'branch'},
|
|
lualine_c = {'filename'},
|
|
lualine_x = {},
|
|
lualine_y = {},
|
|
lualine_z = {}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
This will show branch and filename component in top of neovim inside tabline .
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also completely move your statuline to tabline by configuring lualine.tabline
|
|
instead of lualine.sections & lualine.inactive_sections and setting them to empty
|
|
```lua
|
|
tabline = {
|
|
......
|
|
},
|
|
sections = {},
|
|
inactive_sections = {},
|
|
```
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
### Loading plugin extensions
|
|
Lualine extensions change statusline appearance for a window/buffer with a plugin loaded e.g. [junegunn/fzf.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim)
|
|
|
|
By default no plugin extension are loaded to improve performance. If you are using a plugin which is supported you can load it this way:
|
|
```lua
|
|
extensions = { 'fzf' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary><b>Available extensions</b></summary>
|
|
|
|
* fugitive
|
|
* fzf
|
|
* nerdtree
|
|
* chadtree
|
|
* nvim-tree
|
