Nvim-Utils: Utilities for writing Neovim plugins in Rust

Interacting with Neovim's lua api in Rust can be a bit of a pain. nvim-utils aims to make it easier and quicker to develop Neovim plugins in Rust by removing as much of the required boilerplate as possible, and implementing bindings for the vim.* lua api.

Warning
This library is no longer maintained.
For a more polished API, check out nvim-oxi.

Current plans

• Integrate with the Luajit and Neovim C APIs directly
• Minimize dependencies

Installation

cargo add nvim-utils

Features

nvim-utils provides utilities for:

• Declaratively building lua modules using mlua
• Interacting with Neovim's lua api
• Logging using vim.notify
• Accessing common lua builtin functions like require and print
• And more to come!

Documentation

Check out the examples for a simple example plugin, or my plugins moveline and blam for slightly more complex ones.
