scnvim logger

Log post window ouput to a file with timestamps.

This project serves as an example implementation for a scnvim extension.

Skip to the developing section to learn more!

Installation

• Using packer.nvim

use { 'davidgranstrom/scnvim-logger' }

• Using vim-plug

Plug 'davidgranstrom/scnvim-logger'

Load the extension after the call to scnvim.setup.

scnvim.setup{...}

scnvim.load_extension('logger')

Usage

Start logging

:SCNvimExt logger.start

You can override the default behaviour by passing arguments for mode and path.

:SCNvimExt logger.start a+ /tmp/my-log.txt

Stop logging

:SCNvimExt logger.stop

Configuration

scnvim.setup {
  extensions = {
    logger = {
      path = '/tmp/my-log.txt',
    },
  },
}

Developing

The scnvim extension API is heavily inspired by the awesome telescope.nvim, so if you already know how write a telescope extension you will feel right at home!

Directory layout

To make the extension a compatible scnvim extension the directory layout should match the following.

.
├── README.md                      # Instructions for your extension
├── lua
│   └── scnvim
│       └── _extensions            # Note the underscore!
│           ├── logger
│           │   └── main.lua       # Business logic goes here, can be split into more files.
│           └── logger.lua         # Name of the extension
└── supercollider                  # This directory will be linked to the users Extensions directory
    └── scide_scnvim               # Note the `scide_scnvim` subdirectory!
        └── SCNvimExtLogger.sc     # Define SuperCollider classes here

The name of the extension in this case is logger, and to load the extension a user will call scnvim.load_extension('logger') after the initial call to scnvim.setup.

If there is a supercollider directory in the root of the plugin its content will be automatically linked to the user's Extensions directory under scnvim-extensions/<name>.

Please give user instructions on how to remove the class link, e.g.

To uninstall the linked SuperCollider classes that comes with this plugin, delete the symbolic link found in Extensions/scnvim-extensions/<name>.

The Extensions directory can opened from the IDE menu File -> Open user support directory

Configuration

The extension will receive its own configuration as well as the user config. It is acceptable to modify the user config if necessary, and some extensions might only be a "preset" of a user config.

The extension's own configuration is defined in the table given to scnvim.setup.

scnvim.setup{
  extensions = {
    logger = {
      path = '/tmp/sclang-log.txt'
    },
  },
}
