🚢 import.nvim

⚠️ This plugin was renamed from telescope-import.nvim to import.nvim as it now supports multiple pickers. Old GitHub URLs will still redirect, but please update your plugin spec to use:

{ "piersolenski/import.nvim" }

The previous setup method of registering the plugin as a Telescope extension is still supported, but the new method is recommended for access to latest features.

Import modules faster based on what you've already imported in your project.

Often we find ourselves importing the same modules over and over again in an existing project. Rather than typing out import statements from scratch or yanking them from other existing files, import.nvim searches your project for existing import statements giving you a faster way to add them to the current buffer. Import patterns are sorted by frequency, so your most used imports are usually just a few keystrokes away. You can select multiple items to import using tab.

For languages that support auto importing through their LSP, import.nvim may still be of benefit when there are multiple symbols with the same name in the project, or if you prefer authoring your files with the modules already imported up top.

🔩 Installation

Install ripgrep.

-- Lazy
{
  'piersolenski/import.nvim',
  dependencies = {
    -- One of the following pickers is required:
    'nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim',
    -- 'folke/snacks.nvim',
    -- 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua',
  },
  opts = {
    picker = "telescope",
  },
  keys = {
    {
      "<leader>i",
      function()
        require("import").pick()
      end,
      desc = "Import",
    },
  },
}

⚙️ Configuration

import.nvim requires no configuration out of the box, but you can tweak it in the following ways:

{
  -- The picker to use
  picker = "telescope" | "snacks" | "fzf-lua",
  -- Imports can be added at a specified line whilst keeping the cursor in place
  insert_at_top = true,
  -- Optionally support additional languages or modify existing languages...
  custom_languages = {
    {
      -- The filetypes that ripgrep supports (find these via `rg --type-list`)
      extensions = { "js", "ts" },
      -- The Vim filetypes
      filetypes = { "vue" },
      -- Optionally set a line other than 1
      insert_at_line = 2 ---@type function|number,
      -- The regex pattern for the import statement
      regex = [[^(?:import(?:[\"'\s]*([\w*{}\n, ]+)from\s*)?[\"'\s](.*?)[\"'\s].*)]],
    },
  }
}
