NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Thiago de Arruda
Nvim API *API* *api*
Nvim exposes a powerful API that can be used by plugins and external processes
via |RPC|, |Lua| and VimL (|eval-api|).
Applications can also embed libnvim to work with the C API directly.
Type |gO| to see the table of contents.
==============================================================================
API Types *api-types*
Nvim's C API uses custom types for all functions. Some are just typedefs
around C99 standard types, and some are Nvim-defined data structures.
Boolean -> bool
Integer (signed 64-bit integer) -> int64_t
Float (IEEE 754 double precision) -> double
String -> {char* data, size_t size} struct
Additionally, the following data structures are defined:
Array
Dictionary
Object
The following handle types are defined as integer typedefs, but are
discriminated as separate types in an Object:
Buffer -> enum value kObjectTypeBuffer
Window -> enum value kObjectTypeWindow
Tabpage -> enum value kObjectTypeTabpage
==============================================================================
API metadata *api-metadata*
Nvim exposes API metadata as a Dictionary. Some items are described below:
version Nvim version, API level/compatibility
version.api_level Current API level
version.api_compatible API is backwards-compatible with this level
version.api_prerelease Declares the current API level as unstable >
(version.api_prerelease && fn.since == version.api_level)
functions API function signatures
ui_events UI event signatures |ui|
ui_options Supported |ui-options|
{fn}.since API level where function {fn} was introduced
{fn}.deprecated_since API level where function {fn} was deprecated
types Custom handle types defined by Nvim
error_types Possible error types returned by API functions
External programs ("clients") can use the metadata to discover the |rpc-api|.
==============================================================================
API contract *api-contract*
The API is made of functions and events. Clients call functions like those
described at |api-global|, and may "attach" to receive rich |ui-events|.
As Nvim develops, its API may change only according the following "contract":
- New functions and events may be added.
- Any such extensions are OPTIONAL: old clients may ignore them.
- Function signatures will NOT CHANGE (after release).
- Functions introduced in the development (unreleased) version MAY CHANGE.
(Clients can dynamically check `api_prerelease`, etc. |api-metadata|)
- Event parameters will not be removed or reordered (after release).
- Events may be EXTENDED: new parameters may be added.
- New items may be ADDED to map/list parameters/results of functions and
events.
- Any such new items are OPTIONAL: old clients may ignore them.
- Existing items will not be removed (after release).
- Deprecated functions will not be removed until Nvim version 2.0
==============================================================================
Buffer highlighting *api-highlights*
Nvim allows plugins to add position-based highlights to buffers. This is
similar to |matchaddpos()| but with some key differences. The added highlights
are associated with a buffer and adapts to line insertions and deletions,
similar to signs. It is also possible to manage a set of highlights as a group
and delete or replace all at once.
The intended use case are linter or semantic highlighter plugins that monitor
a buffer for changes, and in the background compute highlights to the buffer.
Another use case are plugins that show output in an append-only buffer, and
want to add highlights to the outputs. Highlight data cannot be preserved
on writing and loading a buffer to file, nor in undo/redo cycles.
Highlights are registered using the |nvim_buf_add_highlight| function, see the
generated API documentation for details. If an external highlighter plugin is
adding a large number of highlights in a batch, performance can be improved by
calling |nvim_buf_add_highlight| as an asynchronous notification, after first
(synchronously) reqesting a source id. Here is an example using wrapper
functions in the python client:
>
src = vim.new_highlight_source()
buf = vim.current.buffer
for i in range(5):
buf.add_highlight("String",i,0,-1,src_id=src)
# some time later
buf.clear_highlight(src)
<
If the highlights don't need to be deleted or updated, just pass -1 as
src_id (this is the default in python). |nvim_buf_clear_highlight| can be used
to clear highlights from a specific source, in a specific line range or the
entire buffer by passing in the line range 0, -1 (the latter is the default
in python as used above).
An example of calling the api from vimscript: >
call nvim_buf_set_lines(0, 0, 0, v:true, ["test text"])
let src = nvim_buf_add_highlight(0, 0, "String", 1, 0, 4)
call nvim_buf_add_highlight(0, src, "Identifier", 0, 5, -1)
" later
call nvim_buf_clear_highlight(0, src, 0, -1)
>
==============================================================================

Gets a highlight definition by id. |hlID()|
Parameters:~
{hl_id} Highlight id as returned by |hlID()|
{rgb} Export RGB colors
Return:~
Highlight definition map
nvim_feedkeys({keys}, {mode}, {escape_csi}) *nvim_feedkeys()*
Passes input keys to Nvim. On VimL error: Does not fail, but
updates v:errmsg.
Parameters:~
{keys} to be typed
{mode} mapping options

Unlike `nvim_feedkeys`, this uses a lower-level input buffer
and the call is not deferred. This is the most reliable way to
send real user input.
Note:
|keycodes| like <CR> are translated, so "<" is special. To
input a literal "<", send <LT>.

Return:~
Number of bytes actually written (can be fewer than
requested if the buffer becomes full).

Return:~
2-tuple [{channel-id}, {api-metadata}]
Attributes:~
{async}
nvim_call_atomic({calls}) *nvim_call_atomic()*
Call many api methods atomically
This has two main usages: Firstly, to perform several requests
from an async context atomically, i.e. without processing
requests from other rpc clients or redrawing or allowing user
interaction in between. Note that api methods that could fire
autocommands or do event processing still might do so. For
instance invoking the :sleep command might call timer
callbacks. Secondly, it can be used to reduce rpc overhead
(roundtrips) when doing many requests in sequence.
Parameters:~
{calls} an array of calls, where each call is described
by an array with two elements: the request name,
and an array of arguments.
Return:~
an array with two elements. The first is an array of
return values. The second is NIL if all calls succeeded.
If a call resulted in an error, it is a three-element
array with the zero-based index of the call which resulted
in an error, the error type and the error message. If an
error ocurred, the values from all preceding calls will
still be returned.
*nvim_parse_expression()*
nvim_parse_expression({expr}, {flags}, {highlight})
Parse a VimL expression
Attributes:~
{async}
Parameters:~
{expr} Expression to parse. Is always treated as a
single line.
{flags} Flags: - "m" if multiple expressions in a
row are allowed (only the first one will be
parsed), - "E" if EOC tokens are not allowed
(determines whether they will stop parsing
process or be recognized as an
operator/space, though also yielding an
error). - "l" when needing to start parsing
with lvalues for ":let" or ":for". Common
flag sets: - "m" to parse like for ":echo". -
"E" to parse like for "<C-r>=". - empty
string for ":call". - "lm" to parse for
":let".
{highlight} If true, return value will also include
"highlight" key containing array of 4-tuples
(arrays) (Integer, Integer, Integer, String),
where first three numbers define the
highlighted region and represent line,
starting column and ending column (latter
exclusive: one should highlight region
[start_col, end_col)).
Return:~
AST: top-level dictionary with these keys: "error":
Dictionary with error, present only if parser saw some
error. Contains the following keys: "message": String,
error message in printf format, translated. Must contain
exactly one "%.*s". "arg": String, error message argument.
"len": Amount of bytes successfully parsed. With flags
equal to "" that should be equal to the length of expr
string. @note: “Sucessfully parsed” here means
“participated in AST creation”, not “till the first
error”. "ast": AST, either nil or a dictionary with these
keys: "type": node type, one of the value names from
ExprASTNodeType stringified without "kExprNode" prefix.
"start": a pair [line, column] describing where node is
“started” where "line" is always 0 (will not be 0 if you
will be using nvim_parse_viml() on e.g. ":let", but that
is not present yet). Both elements are Integers. "len":
“length” of the node. This and "start" are there for
debugging purposes primary (debugging parser and providing
debug information). "children": a list of nodes described
in top/"ast". There always is zero, one or two children,
key will not be present if node has no children. Maximum
number of children may be found in node_maxchildren array.
Local values (present only for certain nodes): "scope": a
single Integer, specifies scope for "Option" and
"PlainIdentifier" nodes. For "Option" it is one of
ExprOptScope values, for "PlainIdentifier" it is one of
ExprVarScope values. "ident": identifier (without scope,
if any), present for "Option", "PlainIdentifier",
"PlainKey" and "Environment" nodes. "name": Integer,
register name (one character) or -1. Only present for
"Register" nodes. "cmp_type": String, comparison type, one
of the value names from ExprComparisonType, stringified
without "kExprCmp" prefix. Only present for "Comparison"
nodes. "ccs_strategy": String, case comparison strategy,
one of the value names from ExprCaseCompareStrategy,
stringified without "kCCStrategy" prefix. Only present for
"Comparison" nodes. "augmentation": String, augmentation
type for "Assignment" nodes. Is either an empty string,
"Add", "Subtract" or "Concat" for "=", "+=", "-=" or ".="
respectively. "invert": Boolean, true if result of
comparison needs to be inverted. Only present for
"Comparison" nodes. "ivalue": Integer, integer value for
"Integer" nodes. "fvalue": Float, floating-point value for
"Float" nodes. "svalue": String, value for
"SingleQuotedString" and "DoubleQuotedString" nodes.

Buffer Functions *api-buffer*
nvim_buf_line_count({buffer}) *nvim_buf_line_count()*
Gets the buffer line count
Parameters:~
{buffer} Buffer handle
Return:~
Line count
*nvim_buf_get_lines()*
nvim_buf_get_lines({buffer}, {start}, {end}, {strict_indexing})
Retrieves a line range from the buffer
Indexing is zero-based, end-exclusive. Negative indices are
interpreted as length+1+index, i e -1 refers to the index past
the end. So to get the last element set start=-2 and end=-1.
Out-of-bounds indices are clamped to the nearest valid value,
unless `strict_indexing` is set.
Parameters:~
{buffer} Buffer handle
{start} First line index
{end} Last line index (exclusive)
{strict_indexing} Whether out-of-bounds should be an
error.
Return:~
Array of lines
*nvim_buf_set_lines()*
nvim_buf_set_lines({buffer}, {start}, {end}, {strict_indexing},
{replacement})
Replaces line range on the buffer
Indexing is zero-based, end-exclusive. Negative indices are
interpreted as length+1+index, i e -1 refers to the index past
the end. So to change or delete the last element set start=-2
and end=-1.
To insert lines at a given index, set both start and end to
the same index. To delete a range of lines, set replacement to
an empty array.
Out-of-bounds indices are clamped to the nearest valid value,
unless `strict_indexing` is set.
Parameters:~
{buffer} Buffer handle
{start} First line index
{end} Last line index (exclusive)
{strict_indexing} Whether out-of-bounds should be an
error.
{replacement} Array of lines to use as replacement
nvim_buf_get_var({buffer}, {name}) *nvim_buf_get_var()*

{buffer} Buffer handle
{name} Option name
Return:~
Option value
nvim_buf_set_option({buffer}, {name}, {value}) *nvim_buf_set_option()*
Sets a buffer option value. Passing 'nil' as value deletes the
option (only works if there's a global fallback)
Parameters:~
{buffer} Buffer handle
{name} Option name
{value} Option value
nvim_buf_get_name({buffer}) *nvim_buf_get_name()*
Gets the full file name for the buffer

nvim_buf_get_mark({buffer}, {name}) *nvim_buf_get_mark()*
Return a tuple (row,col) representing the position of the
named mark
Parameters:~
{buffer} Buffer handle
{name} Mark name
Return:~
(row, col) tuple
*nvim_buf_add_highlight()*
nvim_buf_add_highlight({buffer}, {src_id}, {hl_group}, {line},
{col_start}, {col_end})
Adds a highlight to buffer.
Useful for plugins that dynamically generate highlights to a
buffer (like a semantic highlighter or linter). The function
adds a single highlight to a buffer. Unlike matchaddpos()
highlights follow changes to line numbering (as lines are
inserted/removed above the highlighted line), like signs and
marks do.
`src_id` is useful for batch deletion/updating of a set of
highlights. When called with `src_id = 0`, an unique source id
is generated and returned. Successive calls can pass that
`src_id` to associate new highlights with the same source
group. All highlights in the same group can be cleared with
`nvim_buf_clear_highlight`. If the highlight never will be
manually deleted, pass `src_id = -1`.
If `hl_group` is the empty string no highlight is added, but a
new `src_id` is still returned. This is useful for an external
plugin to synchrounously request an unique `src_id` at
initialization, and later asynchronously add and clear
highlights in response to buffer changes.
Parameters:~
{buffer} Buffer handle
{src_id} Source group to use or 0 to use a new group,
or -1 for ungrouped highlight
{hl_group} Name of the highlight group to use
{line} Line to highlight (zero-indexed)
{col_start} Start of (byte-indexed) column range to
highlight
{col_end} End of (byte-indexed) column range to
highlight, or -1 to highlight to end of line
Return:~
The src_id that was used
*nvim_buf_clear_highlight()*
nvim_buf_clear_highlight({buffer}, {src_id}, {line_start}, {line_end})
Clears highlights from a given source group and a range of
lines
To clear a source group in the entire buffer, pass in 1 and -1
to line_start and line_end respectively.
Parameters:~
{buffer} Buffer handle
{src_id} Highlight source group to clear, or -1 to
clear all.
{line_start} Start of range of lines to clear
{line_end} End of range of lines to clear (exclusive)
or -1 to clear to end of file.
