Prerequisites

Neovim 0.8+

Installing

vim-plug

Plug 'ellisonleao/glow.nvim'
lua << EOF
require('glow').setup()
EOF

packer.nvim

use {"ellisonleao/glow.nvim", config = function() require("glow").setup() end}

lazy.nvim

{"ellisonleao/glow.nvim", config = true, cmd = "Glow"}

Setup

The script comes with the following defaults:

{
  glow_path = "", -- will be filled automatically with your glow bin in $PATH, if any
  install_path = "~/.local/bin", -- default path for installing glow binary
  border = "shadow", -- floating window border config
  style = "dark|light", -- filled automatically with your current editor background, you can override using glow json style
  pager = false,
  width = 80,
  height = 100,
  width_ratio = 0.7, -- maximum width of the Glow window compared to the nvim window size (overrides `width`)
  height_ratio = 0.7,
}

To override the custom configuration, call:

require('glow').setup({
  -- your override config
})

Example:

require('glow').setup({
  style = "dark",
  width = 120,
})

Usage

Preview file

:Glow [path-to-md-file]

Preview current buffer

Close window

You can also close the floating window using q or <Esc> keys
