Ruby bindings for [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim).

*Warning*: This project follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/), thus its API should be considered unstable until it reaches v1.0.0 ([spec](http://semver.org/#spec-item-4)).

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem "neovim"

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install neovim

## Usage

You can control a running `nvim` process by connecting to `$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS`. For example, to connect to `nvim` over a UNIX domain socket, start it up like this:

```shell
$ NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/nvim.sock nvim
```

You can then connect to that socket path to get a `Neovim::Client`:

```ruby
require "neovim"
client = Neovim.attach_unix("/tmp/nvim.sock")
```

Refer to the [`Neovim` docs](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/alexgenco/neovim-ruby/master/Neovim) for other ways to connect to `nvim`, and the [`Neovim::Client` docs](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/alexgenco/neovim-ruby/master/Neovim/Client) for a summary of the client interface.

### Plugins

The `neovim-ruby-host` executable can be used to spawn Ruby plugins via the `rpcstart` command. A plugin can be defined like this:

```ruby
# $VIMRUNTIME/rplugin/ruby/my_plugin.rb

Neovim.plugin do |plug|
  # Define a command called "SetLine" which sets the contents of the current
  # line. This command is executed asynchronously, so the return value is
  # ignored.
  plug.command(:SetLine, :nargs => 1) do |nvim, str|
    nvim.current.line = str
  end

  # Define a function called "Sum" which adds two numbers. This function is
  # executed synchronously, so the result of the block will be returned to nvim.
  plug.function(:Sum, :nargs => 2, :sync => true) do |nvim, x, y|
    x + y
  end

  # Define an autocmd for the BufEnter event on Ruby files.
  plug.autocmd(:BufEnter, :pattern => "*.rb") do |nvim|
    nvim.command("echom 'Ruby file, eh?'")
  end
end
```

Ruby plugins go in the `$VIMRUNTIME/rplugin/ruby` directory, and are auto-loaded after calling `:UpdateRemotePlugins`. Refer to the [`Neovim::Plugin::DSL` docs](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/alexgenco/neovim-ruby/master/Neovim/Plugin/DSL) for a more complete overview.
