staline.nvim

TLDR;
staline(statusline): A simple statusline for neovim written in lua.
stabline(s-tabline): A simple bufferline for neovim written in lua. (sry didnt get a better name.)

Requirements

• Requires neovim version >= 0.7
• vim.opt.laststatus=2 in your init.lua for statusline. (or 3 for global line)
• vim.opt.showtabline=2 in your init.lua for bufferline.
• vim.opt.termguicolors must be set.

Installation

• Vim-plug:

  Plug 'tamton-aquib/staline.nvim'
  

• Packer

  use 'tamton-aquib/staline.nvim'
  

NOTE: Doing this will install both staline and stabline.
But separate setup() is required for each to load up.

• Configuration

  equire('stabline').setup()
  

• The Default configuration looks something like:

  equire('stabline').setup {
  style       = "bar", -- others: arrow, slant, bubble
  stab_left   = "┃",
  stab_right  = " ",
  
  -- fg          = Default is fg of "Normal".
  -- bg          = Default is bg of "Normal".
  inactive_bg = "#1e2127",
  inactive_fg = "#aaaaaa",
  -- stab_bg     = Default is darker version of bg.,
  
  font_active = "bold",
  exclude_fts = { 'NvimTree', 'dashboard', 'lir' },
  stab_start  = "",   -- The starting of stabline
  stab_end    = "",
  
  

require('stabline').setup {
	style = "slant",
	bg = "#986fec",
	fg = "black",
	stab_right = "",
}

• Lightweight and Fast. staline+stabline took < 1ms. (packers profiling)

• Has few builtin sections to chose from.
• Uses nvim-web-devicons if installed, else uses a default table.

Cons

• No mouse functions for stabline.
• No ordering or sorting functions for stabline.
• No lsp info in stabline.
• No git related info on staline except branch name.

• This reddit post for staline.
• akinsho/nvim-bufferline for stabline.

TODO

• [x] ~User configuration options. Needs more work.~
• [x] ~Git info. Only branch info for now, (or ever)~
• [x] ~Adding "opt-in" bufferline function.~
• [x] ~Add config options for bufferline.~
• [x] ~lsp client name in staline.~
• [ ] buf numbers in stabline.
• [ ] transparency problem when changed to 0.7 api.
