Struct nvim_gtk::subscriptions::Subscriptions

pub struct Subscriptions(HashMap<SubscriptionKey, Vec<Subscription>>);

A map of all registered subscriptions.

Implementations

impl Subscriptions

pub fn new() -> Self

pub fn subscribe<F>(
    &mut self,
    key: SubscriptionKey,
    args: &[&str],
    cb: F
) -> SubscriptionHandle where
    F: Fn(Vec<String>) + 'static, 

Subscribe to a Neovim autocmd event.

Subscriptions are not active immediately but only after set_autocmds is called. At the moment, all calls to subscribe must be made before calling set_autocmds.

This function is wrapped by shell::State.

Arguments:

• key: The subscription key to register. See :help autocmd-events for a list of supported event names. Event names can be comma-separated.

• args: A list of expressions to be evaluated when the event triggers. Expressions are evaluated using Vimscript. The results are passed to the callback as a list of Strings. This is especially useful as Neovim::eval is synchronous and might block if called from the callback function; so always use the args mechanism instead.

• cb: The callback function. This will be called each time the event triggers or when run_now is called. It is passed a vector with the results of the evaluated expressions given with args.

Example

Call a function each time a buffer is entered or the current working directory is changed. Pass the current buffer name and directory to the callback.

let my_subscription = shell.state.borrow()
    .subscribe("BufEnter,DirChanged", &["expand(@%)", "getcwd()"], move |args| {
        let filename = &args[0];
        let dir = &args[1];
        // do stuff
    });

pub fn set_autocmds(&self, nvim: &mut NeovimRef<'_>)

Register all subscriptions with Neovim.

This function is wrapped by shell::State.

fn on_notify(&self, key: &SubscriptionKey, index: usize, args: Vec<String>)

Trigger given event.

pub fn notify(&self, params: Vec<Value>) -> Result<(), String>

Wrapper around on_notify for easy calling with a neovim_lib::Handler implementation.

This function is wrapped by shell::State.

pub fn run_now(&self, handle: &SubscriptionHandle, nvim: &mut NeovimRef<'_>)

Manually trigger the given subscription.

The nvim instance is needed to evaluate the args expressions.

This function is wrapped by shell::State.
