artify.nvim

Yet another fork of sainnhe/artify.vim.

Motivation

The original artify.vim is written by Vimscript and runs too slowly to use heavily. I have rewritten it with Lua on Neovim and achieved blazingly fast speed.

Run 10000 times both to compare

local s = os.clock()
for i = 1, 10000 do
  vim.cmd[[call artify#convert('foo', 'bold')]]
end
print(os.clock() - s)

local artify = require'artify'
s = os.clock()
local result = {}
for i = 1, 10000 do
  table.insert(result, artify('foo', 'bold'))
end
print(os.clock() - s)

~~Simply x1000 speed!!~~

UPDATED

@sainnhe updated the original implementation (this commit) and it shows extremely improvement. I again benchmarked with more precisely with this Dockerfile.

artify.nvim achieves x20~ speed!!

Usage

artyfy.nvim has almost the same interface as artify.vim.

local artify = require'artify'

artify('foo', 'bold') --> 𝐟𝐨𝐨
artify('foo', 'italic') --> 𝑓𝑜𝑜
artify('foo', 'monospace') --> 𝚏𝚘𝚘

Example

lualine.nvim

hoob3rt/lualine.nvim is a pure Lua plugin to show fully-customizable statusline. You can integrate it with artify.nvim.

local artify = require'artify'
local lualine = require'lualine'
lualine.sections.lualine_a = {
  {
    'mode',
    format = function(value)
      return artify(value, 'monospace')
    end,
  },
}

It is showing special characters for the mode: 𝙽𝙾𝚁𝙼𝙰𝙻
