nvim-rulebook 📖

Add inline-comments to ignore rules, or lookup rule documentation online.

Some LSPs provide code actions for that – this plugin adds commands for linters and LSPs that don't.

Features

  • Look up official rule documentation, falling back to a 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.
  • QoL: auto-select a rule if it is the only one in the current line; if the line has no diagnostic, search forward up to the next line that does.
  • Includes built-in support for various linters. Zero plugin configuration required if you only need to use built-in sources.
  • 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. Though, please consider making a PR to add support for a source if it is missing.

Installation

This plugin requires diagnostics provided by a source that supports Neovim's built-in diagnostics system. (nvim's built-in LSP client or nvim-lint are such sources.)

-- lazy.nvim
{
    "chrisgrieser/nvim-rulebook",
    keys = {
        { "<leader>ri", function() require("rulebook").ignoreRule() end },
        { "<leader>rl", function() require("rulebook").lookupRule() end },
        { "<leader>ry", function() require("rulebook").yankDiagnosticCode() end },
    }
},
-- packer
use { "chrisgrieser/nvim-rulebook" }

-- in your config
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)

Configuration

The configuration is optional. You only need to add a config when you want to customize a source or add custom sources.

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

require("rulebook").setup = ({
    ignoreComments = {
        selene = {
            comment = "-- selene: allow(%s)",
            location = "prevLine",
        },
        -- ... (full list of supported sources can be found in the README)

        yourCustomSource = { -- exact, case-sensitive source-name
            comment = "// disabling-comment %s", -- %s will be replaced with rule-id
            location = "prevLine", -- "prevLine"|"sameLine"|"encloseLine"
        }

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

    ruleDocs = {
        selene = "https://kampfkarren.github.io/selene/lints/%s.html"
        -- ... (full list of supported sources 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 & code.
        -- Default is the DDG "Ducky Search" (automatically opening first result).
        fallback = "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s+%%21ducky&kl=en-us",

        -- the value of the rule documentations accept either a string or a function
        -- if a string, `%s` will be replaced with rule-id
        -- if a function, takes a `:h diagnostic-structure` as argument and must 
        -- return a url
        yourCustomSource = "https://my-docs/%s.hthml",
        anotherCustomSource = function(diag)
            -- ...
            return url
        end,
    }

    -- if no diagnostic is found in current line, search this many lines forward
    forwSearchLines = 10,

    -- whether to yank to `+` or `"`
    yankDiagnosticCodeToSystemClipboard = true,
})

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

Customize Built-in Sources

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

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

Limitations

  • The diagnostics have to contain the necessary data, that is a diagnostic code and diagnostic source. Most LSPs, and most linters configured for nvim-lint do that, but some diagnostic sources do not (for example efm-langserver with incorrectly defined errorformat). Please open an issue at the diagnostics provider to fix such issues.
  • This plugin does not hook into vim.lsp.buf.code_action, but provides its own selector.

API

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 " îȘ€ " or "" end,
    },
}
