**Problems:** - `vim.treesitter.language.inspect()` returns duplicate symbol names, sometimes up to 6 of one kind in the case of `markdown` - The list-like `symbols` table can have holes and is thus not even a valid msgpack table anyway, mentioned in a test **Solution:** Return symbols as a map, rather than a list, where field names are the names of the symbol. The boolean value associated with the field encodes whether or not the symbol is named. Note that anonymous nodes are surrounded with double quotes (`"`) to prevent potential collisions with named counterparts that have the same identifier.

Treesitter integration *treesitter*
|
||
|
||
Nvim integrates the `tree-sitter` library for incremental parsing of buffers:
|
||
https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/
|
||
|
||
WARNING: Treesitter support is still experimental and subject to frequent
|
||
changes. This documentation may also not fully reflect the latest changes.
|
||
|
||

|
||
PARSER FILES *treesitter-parsers*
|
||
|
||
Parsers are the heart of treesitter. They are libraries that treesitter will
|
||
search for in the `parser` runtime directory.
|
||
|
||
Nvim includes these parsers:
|
||
|
||
- C
|
||
- Lua
|
||
- Markdown
|
||
- Vimscript
|
||
- Vimdoc
|
||
- Treesitter query files |ft-query-plugin|
|
||
|
||
You can install more parsers manually, or with a plugin like
|
||
https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter .
|
||
|
||
Parsers are searched for as `parser/{lang}.*` in any 'runtimepath' directory.
|
||
If multiple parsers for the same language are found, the first one is used.
|
||
(NOTE: This typically implies the priority "user config > plugins > bundled".)
|
||
|
||
To load a parser from its filepath: >lua
|
||
|
||
vim.treesitter.language.add('python', { path = "/path/to/python.so" })
|
||
<
|
||
Parser names are assumed to be lower case if the file system is
|
||
case-sensitive.
|
||
|
||
To associate certain |filetypes| with a treesitter language (name of parser),
|
||
use |vim.treesitter.language.register()|. For example, to use the `xml`
|
||
treesitter parser for buffers with filetype `svg` or `xslt`, use: >lua
|
||
|
||
vim.treesitter.language.register('xml', { 'svg', 'xslt' })
|
||
<
|
||
*treesitter-parsers-wasm*
|
||
|
||
If Nvim is built with `ENABLE_WASMTIME`, then wasm parsers can also be
|
||
loaded: >lua
|
||
|
||
vim.treesitter.language.add('python', { path = "/path/to/python.wasm" })
|
||

==============================================================================
|
||
TREESITTER QUERIES *treesitter-query*
|
||
|
||
Treesitter queries are a way to extract information about a parsed |TSTree|,
|
||
e.g., for the purpose of highlighting. Briefly, a `query` consists of one or
|
||
more patterns. A `pattern` is defined over node types in the syntax tree. A
|
||
`match` corresponds to specific elements of the syntax tree which match a
|
||
pattern. Patterns may optionally define captures and predicates. A `capture`
|
||
allows you to associate names with a specific node in a pattern. A `predicate`
|
||
adds arbitrary metadata and conditional data to a match.
|
||
|
||
Queries are written in a lisp-like language documented in
|
||
https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers#query-syntax
|
||
Note: The predicates listed there page differ from those Nvim supports. See
|
||
|treesitter-predicates| for a complete list of predicates supported by Nvim.
|
||
|
||
Nvim looks for queries as `*.scm` files in a `queries` directory under
|
||
`runtimepath`, where each file contains queries for a specific language and
|
||
purpose, e.g., `queries/lua/highlights.scm` for highlighting Lua files.
|
||
By default, the first query on `runtimepath` is used (which usually implies
|
||
that user config takes precedence over plugins, which take precedence over
|
||
queries bundled with Nvim). If a query should extend other queries instead
|
||
of replacing them, use |treesitter-query-modeline-extends|.
|
||
|
||
See |lua-treesitter-query| for the list of available methods for working with
|
||
treesitter queries from Lua.
|
||
|
||
|
||
TREESITTER QUERY PREDICATES *treesitter-predicates*
|
||
|
||
Predicates are special scheme nodes that are evaluated to conditionally capture
|
||
nodes. For example, the `eq?` predicate can be used as follows: >query
|
||
|
||
((identifier) @variable.builtin
|
||
(#eq? @variable.builtin "self"))
|
||
<
|
||
to only match identifier corresponding to the `"self"` text. Such queries can
|
||
be used to highlight built-in functions or variables differently, for instance.
|
||
|
||
The following predicates are built in:
|
||
|
||
`eq?` *treesitter-predicate-eq?*
|
||
Match a string against the text corresponding to a node: >query
|
||
((identifier) @variable.builtin (#eq? @variable.builtin "self"))
|
||
((node1) @left (node2) @right (#eq? @left @right))
|
||
<
|
||
`any-eq?` *treesitter-predicate-any-eq?*
|
||
Like `eq?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node must
|
||
match.
|
||
|
||
`match?` *treesitter-predicate-match?*
|
||
`vim-match?` *treesitter-predicate-vim-match?*
|
||
Match a |regexp| against the text corresponding to a node: >query
|
||
((identifier) @constant (#match? @constant "^[A-Z_]+$"))
|
||
<
|
||
Note: The `^` and `$` anchors will match the start and end of the
|
||
node's text.
|
||
|
||
`any-match?` *treesitter-predicate-any-match?*
|
||
`any-vim-match?` *treesitter-predicate-any-vim-match?*
|
||
Like `match?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node must
|
||
match.
|
||
|
||
`lua-match?` *treesitter-predicate-lua-match?*
|
||
Match |lua-patterns| against the text corresponding to a node,
|
||
similar to `match?`
|
||
|
||
`any-lua-match?` *treesitter-predicate-any-lua-match?*
|
||
Like `lua-match?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node
|
||
must match.
|
||
|
||
`contains?` *treesitter-predicate-contains?*
|
||
Match a string against parts of the text corresponding to a node: >query
|
||
((identifier) @foo (#contains? @foo "foo"))
|
||
((identifier) @foo-bar (#contains? @foo-bar "foo" "bar"))
|
||
<
|
||
`any-contains?` *treesitter-predicate-any-contains?*
|
||
Like `contains?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node
|
||
must match.
|
||
|
||
`any-of?` *treesitter-predicate-any-of?*
|
||
Match any of the given strings against the text corresponding to
|
||
a node: >query
|
||
((identifier) @foo (#any-of? @foo "foo" "bar"))
|
||
<
|
||
This is the recommended way to check if the node matches one of many
|
||
keywords, as it has been optimized for this.
|
||
|
||
`has-ancestor?` *treesitter-predicate-has-ancestor?*
|
||
Match any of the given node types against all ancestors of a node: >query
|
||
((identifier) @variable.builtin
|
||
(#any-of? @variable.builtin "begin" "end")
|
||
(#has-ancestor? @variable.builtin range_expression))
|
||
<
|
||
`has-parent?` *treesitter-predicate-has-parent?*
|
||
Match any of the given node types against the direct ancestor of a
|
||
node: >query
|
||
(((field_expression
|
||
(field_identifier) @method)) @_parent
|
||
(#has-parent? @_parent template_method function_declarator))
|
||
<
|
||
*lua-treesitter-not-predicate*
|
||
Each predicate has a `not-` prefixed predicate that is just the negation of
|
||
the predicate.
|
||
|
||
*lua-treesitter-all-predicate*
|
||
*lua-treesitter-any-predicate*
|
||
Queries can use quantifiers to capture multiple nodes. When a capture contains
|
||
multiple nodes, predicates match only if ALL nodes contained by the capture
|
||
match the predicate. Some predicates (`eq?`, `match?`, `lua-match?`,
|
||
`contains?`) accept an `any-` prefix to instead match if ANY of the nodes
|
||
contained by the capture match the predicate.
|
||
|
||
As an example, consider the following Lua code: >lua
|
||
|
||
-- TODO: This is a
|
||
-- very long
|
||
-- comment (just imagine it)
|
||
<
|
||
using the following predicated query:
|
||
>query
|
||
(((comment)+ @comment)
|
||
(#match? @comment "TODO"))
|
||
<
|
||
This query will not match because not all of the nodes captured by @comment
|
||
match the predicate. Instead, use:
|
||
>query
|
||
(((comment)+ @comment)
|
||
(#any-match? @comment "TODO"))
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
Further predicates can be added via |vim.treesitter.query.add_predicate()|.
|
||
Use |vim.treesitter.query.list_predicates()| to list all available predicates.
|
||
|
||
|
||
TREESITTER QUERY DIRECTIVES *treesitter-directives*
|
||
|
||
Treesitter directives store metadata for a node or match and perform side
|
||
effects. For example, the `set!` directive sets metadata on the match or node: >query
|
||
|
||
((identifier) @foo (#set! type "parameter"))
|
||
<
|
||
The following directives are built in:
|
||
|
||
`set!` *treesitter-directive-set!*
|
||
Sets key/value metadata for a specific match or capture. Value is
|
||
accessible as either `metadata[key]` (match specific) or
|
||
`metadata[capture_id][key]` (capture specific).
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
{capture_id} (optional)
|
||
{key}
|
||
{value}
|
||
|
||
Examples: >query
|
||
((identifier) @foo (#set! @foo kind "parameter"))
|
||
((node1) @left (node2) @right (#set! type "pair"))
|
||
((codeblock) @markup.raw.block (#set! priority 90))
|
||
<
|
||
`offset!` *treesitter-directive-offset!*
|
||
Takes the range of the captured node and applies an offset. This will
|
||
set a new range in the form of a list like { {start_row}, {start_col},
|
||
{end_row}, {end_col} } for the captured node with `capture_id` as
|
||
`metadata[capture_id].range`. Useful for |treesitter-language-injections|.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
{capture_id}
|
||
{start_row}
|
||
{start_col}
|
||
{end_row}
|
||
{end_col}
|
||
|
||
Example: >query
|
||
((identifier) @constant (#offset! @constant 0 1 0 -1))
|
||
<
|
||
`gsub!` *treesitter-directive-gsub!*
|
||
Transforms the content of the node using a |lua-pattern|. This will set
|
||
a new `metadata[capture_id].text`.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
{capture_id}
|
||
{pattern}
|
||
{replacement}
|
||
|
||
Example: >query
|
||
(#gsub! @_node ".*%.(.*)" "%1")
|
||
<
|
||
`trim!` *treesitter-directive-trim!*
|
||
Trim blank lines from the end of the node. This will set a new
|
||
`metadata[capture_id].range`.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
{capture_id}
|
||
|
||
Example: >query
|
||
(#trim! @fold)
|
||
<
|
||
Further directives can be added via |vim.treesitter.query.add_directive()|.
|
||
Use |vim.treesitter.query.list_directives()| to list all available directives.
|
||
|
||
|
||
TREESITTER QUERY MODELINES *treesitter-query-modeline*
|
||
|
||
Nvim supports to customize the behavior of the queries using a set of
|
||
"modelines", that is comments in the queries starting with `;`. Here are the
|
||
currently supported modeline alternatives:
|
||
|
||
`inherits: {lang}...` *treesitter-query-modeline-inherits*
|
||
Specifies that this query should inherit the queries from {lang}.
|
||
This will recursively descend in the queries of {lang} unless wrapped
|
||
in parentheses: `({lang})`.
|
||
Note: This is meant to be used to include queries from another
|
||
language. If you want your query to extend the queries of the same
|
||
language, use `extends`.
|
||
|
||
`extends` *treesitter-query-modeline-extends*
|
||
Specifies that this query should be used as an extension for the
|
||
query, i.e. that it should be merged with the others.
|
||
Note: The order of the extensions, and the query that will be used as
|
||
a base depends on your 'runtimepath' value.
|
||
|
||
Note: These modeline comments must be at the top of the query, but can be
|
||
repeated, for example, the following two modeline blocks are both valid:
|
||
>query
|
||
;; inherits: typescript,jsx
|
||
;; extends
|
||
<
|
||
>query
|
||
;; extends
|
||
;;
|
||
;; inherits: css
|
||
<
|
||
==============================================================================
|
||
TREESITTER SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING *treesitter-highlight*
|
||
|
||
Syntax highlighting is specified through queries named `highlights.scm`,
|
||
which match a |TSNode| in the parsed |TSTree| to a `capture` that can be
|
||
assigned a highlight group. For example, the query >query
|
||
|
||
(parameters (identifier) @variable.parameter)
|
||
<
|
||
matches any `identifier` node inside a function `parameters` node to the
|
||
capture named `@variable.parameter`. For example, for a Lua code >lua
|
||
|
||
function f(foo, bar) end
|
||
<
|
||
which will be parsed as (see |:InspectTree|): >query
|
||
|
||
(function_declaration ; [1:1 - 24]
|
||
name: (identifier) ; [1:10 - 10]
|
||
parameters: (parameters ; [1:11 - 20]
|
||
name: (identifier) ; [1:12 - 14]
|
||
name: (identifier))) ; [1:17 - 19]
|
||
<
|
||
the above query will highlight `foo` and `bar` as `@variable.parameter`.
|
||
|
||
It is also possible to match literal expressions (provided the parser returns
|
||
them):
|
||
>query
|
||
[
|
||
"if"
|
||
"else"
|
||
] @keyword.conditional
|
||
<
|
||
Assuming a suitable parser and `highlights.scm` query is found in runtimepath,
|
||
treesitter highlighting for the current buffer can be enabled simply via
|
||
|vim.treesitter.start()|.
|
||
|
||
*treesitter-highlight-groups*
|
||
The capture names, prefixed with `@`, are directly usable as highlight groups.
|
||
For many commonly used captures, the corresponding highlight groups are linked
|
||
to Nvim's standard |highlight-groups| by default (e.g., `@comment` links to
|
||
`Comment`) but can be overridden in colorschemes.
|
||
|
||
A fallback system is implemented, so that more specific groups fallback to
|
||
more generic ones. For instance, in a language that has separate doc comments
|
||
(e.g., c, java, etc.), `@comment.documentation` could be used. If this group
|
||
is not defined, the highlighting for an ordinary `@comment` is used. This way,
|
||
existing color schemes already work out of the box, but it is possible to add
|
||
more specific variants for queries that make them available.
|
||
|
||
As an additional rule, capture highlights can always be specialized by
|
||
language, by appending the language name after an additional dot. For
|
||
instance, to highlight comments differently per language: >vim
|
||
|
||
hi @comment.c guifg=Blue
|
||
hi @comment.lua guifg=DarkBlue
|
||
hi link @comment.documentation.java String
|
||
<
|
||
The following is a list of standard captures used in queries for Nvim,

|
||
|
||
*treesitter-highlight-spell*
|
||
The special `@spell` capture can be used to indicate that a node should be
|
||
spell checked by Nvim's builtin |spell| checker. For example, the following
|
||
capture marks comments as to be checked: >query
|
||
|
||
(comment) @spell
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
There is also `@nospell` which disables spellchecking regions with `@spell`.
|
||
|
||
*treesitter-highlight-conceal*
|
||
Treesitter highlighting supports |conceal| via the `conceal` metadata. By
|
||
convention, nodes to be concealed are captured as `@conceal`, but any capture
|
||
can be used. For example, the following query can be used to hide code block
|
||
delimiters in Markdown: >query
|
||
|
||
(fenced_code_block_delimiter @conceal (#set! conceal ""))
|
||
<
|
||
It is also possible to replace a node with a single character, which (unlike
|
||
legacy syntax) can be given a custom highlight. For example, the following
|
||
(ill-advised) query replaces the `!=` operator by a Unicode glyph, which is
|
||
still highlighted the same as other operators: >query
|
||
|
||
"!=" @operator (#set! conceal "≠")
|
||
<
|
||
Conceals specified in this way respect 'conceallevel'.
|
||
|
||
*treesitter-highlight-priority*
|
||
Treesitter uses |nvim_buf_set_extmark()| to set highlights with a default
|
||
priority of 100. This enables plugins to set a highlighting priority lower or
|
||
higher than treesitter. It is also possible to change the priority of an
|
||
individual query pattern manually by setting its `"priority"` metadata
|
||
attribute: >query
|
||
|
||
((super_important_node) @superimportant (#set! priority 105))

TREESITTER LANGUAGE INJECTIONS *treesitter-language-injections*
|

<
|
||
|
||
Note the following information is adapted from:
|
||
https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlighting#language-injection
|
||
|
||
Some source files contain code written in multiple different languages.
|
||
Examples include:
|
||
|
||
• HTML files, which can contain JavaScript inside of `<script>` tags and
|
||
CSS inside of `<style>` tags
|
||
• ERB files, which contain Ruby inside of `<%` `%>` tags, and HTML outside of
|
||
those tags
|
||
• PHP files, which can contain HTML between the `<php` tags
|
||
• JavaScript files, which contain regular expression syntax within regex
|
||
literals
|
||
• Ruby, which can contain snippets of code inside of heredoc literals,
|
||
where the heredoc delimiter often indicates the language
|
||
• Lua, which can contain snippets of Vimscript inside |vim.cmd()| calls.
|
||
• Vimscript, which can contain snippets of Lua inside |:lua-heredoc|
|
||
blocks.
|
||
|
||
All of these examples can be modeled in terms of a parent syntax tree and one
|
||
or more injected syntax trees, which reside inside of certain nodes in the
|
||
parent tree. The language injection query allows you to specify these
|
||
“injections” using the following captures:
|
||
|
||
• `@injection.content` - indicates that the captured node should have its
|
||
contents re-parsed using another language.
|
||
• `@injection.language` - indicates that the captured node’s text may
|
||
contain the name of a language that should be used to re-parse the
|
||
`@injection.content`.
|
||
• `@injection.filename` - indicates that the captured node’s text may
|
||
contain a filename; the corresponding filetype is then looked-up up via
|
||
|vim.filetype.match()| and treated as the name of a language that should
|
||
be used to re-parse the `@injection.content`.
|
||
|
||
The language injection behavior can also be configured by some properties
|
||
associated with patterns:
|
||
|
||
• `injection.language` - can be used to hard-code the name of a specific
|
||
language.
|
||
• `injection.combined` - indicates that all of the matching nodes in the
|
||
tree should have their content parsed as one nested document.
|
||
• `injection.include-children` - indicates that the `@injection.content`
|
||
node's entire text should be re-parsed, including the text of its child
|
||
nodes. By default, child nodes' text will be excluded from the injected
|
||
document.
|
||
• `injection.self` - indicates that the node's text should be parsed with
|
||
the same language as the node's LanguageTree.
|
||
• `injection.parent` - indicates that the captured node’s text should
|
||
be parsed with the same language as the node's parent LanguageTree.

TREESITTER TREES *treesitter-tree* *TSTree*
|
||
|
||
A "treesitter tree" represents the parsed contents of a buffer, which can be

||
|
||
edit({lang}) *vim.treesitter.query.edit()*
|
||
Opens a live editor to query the buffer you started from.
|
||
|
||
Can also be shown with *:EditQuery*.
|
||
|
||
If you move the cursor to a capture name ("@foo"), text matching the
|
||
capture is highlighted in the source buffer. The query editor is a scratch
|
||
buffer, use `:write` to save it. You can find example queries at
|
||
`$VIMRUNTIME/queries/`.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {lang} (`string?`) language to open the query editor for. If omitted,

|
||
language
|
||
|
||
lint({buf}, {opts}) *vim.treesitter.query.lint()*
|
||
Lint treesitter queries using installed parser, or clear lint errors.
|
||
|
||
Use |treesitter-parsers| in runtimepath to check the query file in {buf}
|
||
for errors:

• verify that used nodes are valid identifiers in the grammar.
|
||
• verify that predicates and directives are valid.
|
||
• verify that top-level s-expressions are valid.
|
||
|
||
The found diagnostics are reported using |diagnostic-api|. By default, the
|

query file, e.g., if the path ends in `/lua/highlights.scm`, the parser
|
||
for the `lua` language will be used.
|
||
|
||

||
• {buf} (`integer`) Buffer handle
|
||
• {opts} (`table?`) Optional keyword arguments:
|

||
vim.bo.omnifunc = 'v:lua.vim.treesitter.query.omnifunc'
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {findstart} (`0|1`)
|
||
• {base} (`string`)
|
||
|
||
parse({lang}, {query}) *vim.treesitter.query.parse()*
|
||
Parse {query} as a string. (If the query is in a file, the caller should
|
||
read the contents into a string before calling).
|
||
|
||
Returns a `Query` (see |lua-treesitter-query|) object which can be used to
|
||
search nodes in the syntax tree for the patterns defined in {query} using
|
||
the `iter_captures` and `iter_matches` methods.
|
||
|
||
Exposes `info` and `captures` with additional context about {query}.
|
||
• `captures` contains the list of unique capture names defined in {query}.
|
||
• `info.captures` also points to `captures`.
|
||
• `info.patterns` contains information about predicates.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {lang} (`string`) Language to use for the query
|
||
• {query} (`string`) Query in s-expr syntax
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`vim.treesitter.Query`) Parsed query
|
||
|
||
See also: ~
|
||
• |vim.treesitter.query.get()|
|
||
|
||
*Query:iter_captures()*
|
||
Query:iter_captures({node}, {source}, {start}, {stop})
|
||
Iterate over all captures from all matches inside {node}
|
||
|
||
{source} is needed if the query contains predicates; then the caller must
|
||
ensure to use a freshly parsed tree consistent with the current text of
|
||
the buffer (if relevant). {start} and {stop} can be used to limit matches
|
||
inside a row range (this is typically used with root node as the {node},
|
||
i.e., to get syntax highlight matches in the current viewport). When
|
||
omitted, the {start} and {stop} row values are used from the given node.
|
||
|
||
The iterator returns four values: a numeric id identifying the capture,
|
||
the captured node, metadata from any directives processing the match, and
|
||
the match itself. The following example shows how to get captures by name: >lua
|
||
for id, node, metadata, match in query:iter_captures(tree:root(), bufnr, first, last) do
|
||
local name = query.captures[id] -- name of the capture in the query
|
||
-- typically useful info about the node:
|
||
local type = node:type() -- type of the captured node
|
||
local row1, col1, row2, col2 = node:range() -- range of the capture
|
||
-- ... use the info here ...
|
||
end
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
Note: ~
|
||
• Captures are only returned if the query pattern of a specific capture
|
||
contained predicates.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {node} (`TSNode`) under which the search will occur
|
||
• {source} (`integer|string`) Source buffer or string to extract text
|
||
from
|
||
• {start} (`integer?`) Starting line for the search. Defaults to
|
||
`node:start()`.
|
||
• {stop} (`integer?`) Stopping line for the search (end-exclusive).
|
||
Defaults to `node:end_()`.
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`fun(end_line: integer?): integer, TSNode, vim.treesitter.query.TSMetadata, TSQueryMatch`)
|
||
capture id, capture node, metadata, match
|
||
|
||
*Query:iter_matches()*
|
||
Query:iter_matches({node}, {source}, {start}, {stop}, {opts})
|
||
Iterates the matches of self on a given range.
|
||
|
||
Iterate over all matches within a {node}. The arguments are the same as
|
||
for |Query:iter_captures()| but the iterated values are different: an
|
||
(1-based) index of the pattern in the query, a table mapping capture
|
||
indices to a list of nodes, and metadata from any directives processing
|
||
the match.
|
||
|
||
Example: >lua
|
||
for pattern, match, metadata in cquery:iter_matches(tree:root(), bufnr, 0, -1) do
|
||
for id, nodes in pairs(match) do
|
||
local name = query.captures[id]
|
||
for _, node in ipairs(nodes) do
|
||
-- `node` was captured by the `name` capture in the match
|
||
|
||
local node_data = metadata[id] -- Node level metadata
|
||
... use the info here ...
|
||
end
|
||
end
|
||
end
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {node} (`TSNode`) under which the search will occur
|
||
• {source} (`integer|string`) Source buffer or string to search
|
||
• {start} (`integer?`) Starting line for the search. Defaults to
|
||
`node:start()`.
|
||
• {stop} (`integer?`) Stopping line for the search (end-exclusive).
|
||
Defaults to `node:end_()`.
|
||
• {opts} (`table?`) Optional keyword arguments:
|
||
• max_start_depth (integer) if non-zero, sets the maximum
|
||
start depth for each match. This is used to prevent
|
||
traversing too deep into a tree.
|
||
• match_limit (integer) Set the maximum number of
|
||
in-progress matches (Default: 256). all (boolean) When
|
||
`false` (default `true`), the returned table maps capture
|
||
IDs to a single (last) node instead of the full list of
|
||
matching nodes. This option is only for backward
|
||
compatibility and will be removed in a future release.
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||

Parameters: ~
|
||
• {lang} (`string`) Language to use for the query
|
||
• {query_name} (`string`) Name of the query (e.g., "highlights")
|

Lua module: vim.treesitter.languagetree *lua-treesitter-languagetree*
|
||
|
||
A *LanguageTree* contains a tree of parsers: the root treesitter parser for
|
||
{lang} and any "injected" language parsers, which themselves may inject other
|
||
languages, recursively. For example a Lua buffer containing some Vimscript
|
||
commands needs multiple parsers to fully understand its contents.
|
||
|
||
To create a LanguageTree (parser object) for a given buffer and language, use: >lua
|
||
local parser = vim.treesitter.get_parser(bufnr, lang)
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
(where `bufnr=0` means current buffer). `lang` defaults to 'filetype'. Note:
|
||
currently the parser is retained for the lifetime of a buffer but this may
|
||
change; a plugin should keep a reference to the parser object if it wants
|
||
incremental updates.
|
||
|
||
Whenever you need to access the current syntax tree, parse the buffer: >lua
|
||
local tree = parser:parse({ start_row, end_row })
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
This returns a table of immutable |treesitter-tree| objects representing the
|
||
current state of the buffer. When the plugin wants to access the state after a
|
||
(possible) edit it must call `parse()` again. If the buffer wasn't edited, the
|
||
same tree will be returned again without extra work. If the buffer was parsed
|
||
before, incremental parsing will be done of the changed parts.
|
||
|
||
Note: To use the parser directly inside a |nvim_buf_attach()| Lua callback,
|
||
you must call |vim.treesitter.get_parser()| before you register your callback.
|
||
But preferably parsing shouldn't be done directly in the change callback
|
||
anyway as they will be very frequent. Rather a plugin that does any kind of
|
||
analysis on a tree should use a timer to throttle too frequent updates.
|
||
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:children() *LanguageTree:children()*
|
||
Returns a map of language to child tree.
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:contains({range}) *LanguageTree:contains()*
|
||
Determines whether {range} is contained in the |LanguageTree|.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {range} (`table`) A table with the following fields:
|
||
• {[1]} (`integer`) start row
|
||
• {[2]} (`integer`) start column
|
||
• {[3]} (`integer`) end row
|
||
• {[4]} (`integer`) end column
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`boolean`)
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:destroy() *LanguageTree:destroy()*
|
||
Destroys this |LanguageTree| and all its children.
|
||
|
||
Any cleanup logic should be performed here.
|
||
|
||
Note: This DOES NOT remove this tree from a parent. Instead,
|
||
`remove_child` must be called on the parent to remove it.
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:for_each_tree({fn}) *LanguageTree:for_each_tree()*
|
||
Invokes the callback for each |LanguageTree| recursively.
|
||
|
||
Note: This includes the invoking tree's child trees as well.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {fn} (`fun(tree: TSTree, ltree: vim.treesitter.LanguageTree)`)
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:included_regions() *LanguageTree:included_regions()*
|
||
Gets the set of included regions managed by this LanguageTree. This can be
|
||
different from the regions set by injection query, because a partial
|
||
|LanguageTree:parse()| drops the regions outside the requested range. Each
|
||
list represents a range in the form of { {start_row}, {start_col},
|
||
{start_bytes}, {end_row}, {end_col}, {end_bytes} }.
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`table<integer, Range6[]>`)
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:invalidate({reload}) *LanguageTree:invalidate()*
|
||
Invalidates this parser and its children.
|
||
|
||
Should only be called when the tracked state of the LanguageTree is not
|
||
valid against the parse tree in treesitter. Doesn't clear filesystem
|
||
cache. Called often, so needs to be fast.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {reload} (`boolean?`)
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:is_valid({exclude_children}) *LanguageTree:is_valid()*
|
||
Returns whether this LanguageTree is valid, i.e., |LanguageTree:trees()|
|
||
reflects the latest state of the source. If invalid, user should call
|
||
|LanguageTree:parse()|.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {exclude_children} (`boolean?`) whether to ignore the validity of
|
||
children (default `false`)
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`boolean`)
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:lang() *LanguageTree:lang()*
|
||
Gets the language of this tree node.
|
||
|
||
*LanguageTree:language_for_range()*
|
||
LanguageTree:language_for_range({range})
|
||
Gets the appropriate language that contains {range}.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {range} (`table`) A table with the following fields:
|
||

|
||
*LanguageTree:node_for_range()*
|
||
LanguageTree:node_for_range({range}, {opts})

|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {range} (`table`) A table with the following fields:
|
||
• {[1]} (`integer`) start row
|
||
• {[2]} (`integer`) start column
|
||
• {[3]} (`integer`) end row
|
||

|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:parse({range}) *LanguageTree:parse()*
|
||
Recursively parse all regions in the language tree using
|
||
|treesitter-parsers| for the corresponding languages and run injection
|
||
queries on the parsed trees to determine whether child trees should be
|
||
created and parsed.
|
||
|
||
Any region with empty range (`{}`, typically only the root tree) is always
|
||
parsed; otherwise (typically injections) only if it intersects {range} (or
|
||
if {range} is `true`).
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {range} (`boolean|Range?`) Parse this range in the parser's source.
|
||
Set to `true` to run a complete parse of the source (Note:
|
||
Can be slow!) Set to `false|nil` to only parse regions with
|
||
empty ranges (typically only the root tree without
|
||
injections).
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`table<integer, TSTree>`)
|
||
|
||
*LanguageTree:register_cbs()*
|
||
LanguageTree:register_cbs({cbs}, {recursive})
|
||
Registers callbacks for the |LanguageTree|.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {cbs} (`table<TSCallbackNameOn,function>`) An
|
||
|nvim_buf_attach()|-like table argument with the
|
||
following handlers:
|
||
• `on_bytes` : see |nvim_buf_attach()|, but this will be
|
||
called after the parsers callback.
|
||
• `on_changedtree` : a callback that will be called every
|
||
time the tree has syntactical changes. It will be
|
||
passed two arguments: a table of the ranges (as node
|
||
ranges) that changed and the changed tree.
|
||
• `on_child_added` : emitted when a child is added to the
|
||
tree.
|
||
• `on_child_removed` : emitted when a child is removed
|
||
from the tree.
|
||
• `on_detach` : emitted when the buffer is detached, see
|
||
|nvim_buf_detach_event|. Takes one argument, the number
|
||
of the buffer.
|
||
• {recursive} (`boolean?`) Apply callbacks recursively for all
|
||
children. Any new children will also inherit the
|
||
callbacks.
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:source() *LanguageTree:source()*
|
||
Returns the source content of the language tree (bufnr or string).
|
||
|
||
*LanguageTree:tree_for_range()*
|
||
LanguageTree:tree_for_range({range}, {opts})
|
||
Gets the tree that contains {range}.
|
||
|
||
Parameters: ~
|
||
• {range} (`table`) A table with the following fields:
|
||
• {[1]} (`integer`) start row
|
||
• {[2]} (`integer`) start column
|
||
• {[3]} (`integer`) end row
|
||
• {[4]} (`integer`) end column
|
||
• {opts} (`table?`) A table with the following fields:
|
||
• {ignore_injections}? (`boolean`, default: `true`) Ignore
|
||
injected languages
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`TSTree?`)
|
||
|
||
LanguageTree:trees() *LanguageTree:trees()*
|
||
Returns all trees of the regions parsed by this parser. Does not include
|
||
child languages. The result is list-like if
|
||
• this LanguageTree is the root, in which case the result is empty or a
|
||
singleton list; or
|
||
• the root LanguageTree is fully parsed.
|
||
|
||
Return: ~
|
||
(`table<integer, TSTree>`)
