suave.lua

suave.lua aims to be a minimal, beginner-friendly project session automation plugin for NeoVim beginners.

(The name SUAVE is a quasi-acronym of "Session in LUA for Vim Enthusiasts".)

Intro.

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24765272/207277797-88682d65-fe22-41a1-9155-b20e23a0205b.mov

suave.lua is all about project session automation, it can:

• .setup() callbacks on session store/restore.
• .session_store() multiple sessions for a single project.
• .session_store() mutliple sessions in your project folder.
• it supports storing a custom JSON for each of your project.

Now you can:

• Use autocmd + .session_store(auto=true) to achieve project session automation:
  • when auto=true, the naming process is skipped, so it's safe to call it inside a autocmd.
• Use the JSON data to...
  • restore the colortheme for each project.
  • restore the pomodoro timer for each project.
  • restore anything needed to restore a plugin.

Manual

• To start using suave.lua, just mkdir .suave/ at your project root.
  • all your sessions will be stored into this folder.
  • no more question like "where does this plugin store all my sessions?"
• The core idea is very simple:
  • suave.lua has only one menu. (a quickfix list)
  • The menu lists all sessions created for your current project.
  • To execute any command I provided, you have to open the menu first.
    • if you never open the menu, you will never delete your sessions in Neovim upon bugs.
• That's it.

Addons:

• The menu can show the last-modified-timestamp of each session.
• Show how to achieve "auto-session" by autocmd in README.md.
• The command for you to add note to each session file.

Setup Example

Works with:

• folke/lazy.nvim: simply remove the use.
• wbthomason/packer.nvim: exact copy.

use {
  'nyngwang/suave.lua',
  config = function ()
    local suave = require('suave')
    suave.setup {
      -- menu_height = 6,
      store_hooks = {
        -- WARN: DON'T call `vim.cmd('wa')` in both `before_mksession` and `after_mksession`.
        --       (leads to so silent error that will disable auto-session!)
        before_mksession = {
          -- NOTE: this is an example to close `rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui`.
          -- function () require('dapui').close() end,
          -- function ()
          --   -- NOTE: this is an example to close `nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim`.
          --   -- for _, w in ipairs(vim.api.nvim_list_wins()) do
          --   --   if vim.api.nvim_buf_get_option(vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(w), 'ft') == 'neo-tree' then
          --   --     vim.api.nvim_win_close(w, false)
          --   --   end
          --   -- end
          -- end,
        },
        after_mksession = {
          -- NOTE: the `data` param is Lua table, which will be stored as json.
          function (data)
            -- store current colorscheme.
            data.colorscheme = vim.g.colors_name
          end,
        },
      },
      restore_hooks = {
        after_source = {
          function (data)
            if not data then return end
            -- restore colorscheme.
            vim.cmd(string.format([[
              color %s
              doau ColorScheme %s
            ]], data.colorscheme, data.colorscheme))
          end,
        },
      }
    }
    -- Uncomment the following lines to enable project session automation.
    -- NOTE: if you always call `tcd` instead of `cd` on all tabpages,
    --       you can stay in the current project and suave.lua will remember these paths.
    -- NOTE: the `vim.fn.argc() == 0` is required to exclude `git commit`.
    -- NOTE: the `not vim.v.event.changed_window` is required to exclude `:tabn`,`:tabp`.
    -- INFO: While not included, it's recommended to use `group = ...` for your autocmd.
    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ 'VimLeavePre' }, {
      pattern = '*',
      callback = function ()
        if vim.fn.argc() == 0 -- not git
          and not vim.v.event.dying -- safe leave
        then suave.store_session(true) end
      end
    })
    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ 'DirChangedPre' }, {
      pattern = 'global',
      callback = function ()
        if vim.fn.argc() == 0 -- not git
          and not vim.v.event.changed_window -- it's cd
        then suave.store_session(true) end
      end
    })
    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ 'VimEnter' }, {
      pattern = '*',
      callback = function ()
        if vim.fn.argc() == 0 -- not git
