nvim-rulebook 📖

Add inline-comments to ignore rules or suppress formatters. Lookup rule documentation online. Built-in configuration for more than 50 tools.

Table of contents

Features

  • Look up official rule documentation, falling back to a customizable web search if the source does not have rule documentation.
  • Add inline-comments to ignore rules like // eslint disable-next-line some-rule. Supports previous line, same line, and enclosing lines.
  • Suppress formatting with via ignore comments of the respective formatter, such as // prettier-ignore.
  • Quality-of-life: auto-select a rule if it is the only one in the current line; if the line has no diagnostic, search forward to the next line that does.
  • Includes built-in support for dozens of linters and formatters. Thus, zero plugin configuration is required if you only use common tooling.
  • Customizing built-in sources or adding your own sources is easy. PRs to add more built-ins are welcome.

Supported sources

You easily add a custom source via the plugin configuration. Please consider making a PR to add support for a source if it is missing.

Installation

Requirements

  • nvim 0.10+
  • Diagnostics provided by a source that supports Neovim's built-in diagnostics system. (nvim's built-in LSP client, efm-langserver or nvim-lint are such sources.)
-- lazy.nvim
{ "chrisgrieser/nvim-rulebook" },

-- packer
use { "chrisgrieser/nvim-rulebook" }

Usage

You can use the commands via lua functions:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ri", function() require("rulebook").ignoreRule() end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>rl", function() require("rulebook").lookupRule() end)
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ry", function() require("rulebook").yankDiagnosticCode() end)
vim.keymap.set({ "n", "x" }, "<leader>rf", function() require("rulebook").suppressFormatter() end)

Alternatively, you can use the :Rulebook ex-command:

:Rulebook ignoreRule
:Rulebook lookupRule
:Rulebook yankDiagnosticCode
:Rulebook suppressFormatter

Note that :Rulebook suppressFormatter only supports normal mode. To add formatter-ignore comments for a line range, you need to use the lua function require("rulebook").suppressFormatter() from visual mode.

Configuration

Base configuration

The .setup() call is optional. You only need to add a config when you want to add or customize sources.

When adding your own source, you must add the exact, case-sensitive source name (for example, clang-tidy, not clang).

require("rulebook").setup = ({
    -- if no diagnostic is found in current line, search this many lines forward
    forwSearchLines = 10,

    ignoreComments = {
        shellcheck = {
            comment = "# shellcheck disable=%s",
            location = "prevLine",
            multiRuleIgnore = true,
            multiRuleSeparator = ",",
        },
        -- ... (a full list of sources with builtin support can be found in the README)

        yourCustomSource = { -- exact, case-sensitive source-name
            ---@type string|fun(vim.Diagnostic): string if string, "%s" will be replaced with the rule id
            comment = "// disabling-comment %s",

            ---@type "prevLine"|"sameLine"|"encloseLine"
            location = "sameLine",

            -- whether multiple rules can be ignored with one comment, defaults to `false`
            multiRuleIgnore = true,

            -- separator for multiple rule-ids, defaults to ", " (with space)
            multiRuleSeparator = ",",
        }

        -- if location is `encloseLine`, the comment needs to be a list of two strings
        anotherCustomSource = {
            location = "encloseLine",
            comment = { 
                "// disable-rule %s", 
                "// enable-rule %s",
            },
        }
    },

    ruleDocs = {
        selene = "https://kampfkarren.github.io/selene/lints/%s.html"
        -- ... (a full list of sources with builtin support can be found in the README)

        -- Search URL when no documentation definition is available for a
        -- diagnostic source. `%s` will be replaced with the diagnostic source and 
        -- the code/message.
        fallback = "https://www.google.com/search?q=%s",

        -- the key must be named exactly like `diagnostic.source` (case-sensitive!)
        -- * string value: `%s` will be replaced with the rule id
        -- * function value: will be called with the diagnostic object
        -- * `false`: disable rule docs, just use the fallback
        ---@type string|false|fun(diag: vim.Diagnostic): string?
        yourCustomSource = "https://my-docs/%s.hthml",
        anotherCustomSource = function(diag)
            -- ...
            return url
        end,
    }

    suppressFormatter = {
        lua = {
            -- normal mode
            ignoreBlock = "-- stylua: ignore",
            location = "prevLine",

            -- visual mode
            ignoreRange = { "-- stylua: ignore start", "-- stylua: ignore end" },
        },
    }
})

The plugin uses vim.ui.select, so the appearance of the rule selection can be customized by using a UI plugin like snacks.nvim.

Customize built-in sources

Built-in sources be customized by overwriting them in the configuration:

-- example: use `disable-line` instead of the default `disable-next-line` for eslint
require("rulebook").setup = {
    ignoreComments = {
        eslint = {
            comment = "// eslint-disable-line %s",
            location = "sameLine",
        },
    },
}

FAQ

How to configure diagnostic providers

This plugin requires that the diagnostic providers (the LSP or a linter integration tool like nvim-lint or efm-langserver) provide the source and code for the diagnostic.

  • Make sure that the source is named the same in the diagnostic source and in the nvim-rulebook config, including casing.
  • For nvim-lint, most linters should already be configured out of the box.
  • For efm-langserver, you have to set lintSource for the source name, and correctly configure the errorformat. Other than %l & %c (line number & column), this requires %n which efm langserver uses to fill in the diagnostic code. You can also use efmls-configs-nvim to configure those linters for you.

[!IMPORTANT] Note that vim's errorformat only matches numbers for %n, which means it is not possible to parse diagnostic codes that consist of letters. One such case is the linter selene. To use those linters with nvim-rulebook you need to use nvim-lint which allows more flexible parsing.

-- example: configuring efm langserver for `markdownlint` in `/lsp/efm.lua`
return {
    filetypes = { "markdown" },
    settings = { 
        languages = {
            markdown = {
                {
                    lintSource = "markdownlint",
                    lintCommand = "markdownlint $'{INPUT}'",
                    lintStdin = false,
                    lintIgnoreExitCode = true,
                    lintFormats = { 
                        "%f:%l:%c MD%n/%m", 
                        "%f:%l MD%n/%m"
                    },
                },
            },
        },
    },
}

How to directly ask an LLM about a rule

To ask an LLM about a rule, use a URL that opens a chat it for ruleDocs.fallback.

For ruleDocs.fallback, the %s placeholder will be replaced with the diagnostic source and the quoted code (or message, if no code is available), both URL-encoded.

-- example to use ChatGPT for rule lookup
require("rulebook").setup = ({
    ruleDocs = {
        fallback = "https://chatgpt.com/?q=Explain%20the%20following%20diagnostic%20error%3A%20%s"

        -- To use `fallback` instead of the builtin rule docs, overwrite the
        -- builtin one with `false`.
        typescript = false,
    }
})

How to display the availability of rule lookup

The function require("rulebook").hasDocs(diag), expects a diagnostic object and returns a boolean whether nvim-rulebook documentation for the respective diagnostic available. One use case for this is to add a visual indicator if there is a rule lookup available for a diagnostic (see vim.diagnostic.config).

vim.diagnostic.config {
    virtual_text = {
        suffix = function(diag) return require("rulebook").hasDocs(diag) and "  " or "" end,
    },
}
