INTRODUCTION                                           *nvim-treesitter-intro*

nvim-treesitter wraps the Neovim treesitter API to provide functionnalities
such as highlighting and incremental selection, and a command to easily
install parsers.

==============================================================================
QUICK START                                       *nvim-treesitter-quickstart*

Install the parser for your language

>
  :TSInstall {language}
<

To get a list of supported languages

>
  :TSInstallInfo
<

By default, everything is disabled.
To enable supported features, put this in your `init.vim` file:

>
  lua <<EOF
  require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
    ensure_installed = "maintained", -- one of "all", "maintained" (parsers with maintainers), or a list of languages
    highlight = {
      enable = true,              -- false will disable the whole extension
      disable = { "c", "rust" },  -- list of language that will be disabled
    },
  }
  EOF
<

See |nvim-treesitter-modules| for a list of all available modules and its options.

==============================================================================
MODULES                                              *nvim-treesitter-modules*

|nvim-treesitter| provides several functionalities via modules (and submodules),
each module makes use of the query files defined for each language,
you can add your own queries too, see |nvim-treesitter-query-extensions|.

All modules are disabled by default, and some provide default keymaps.
Each module corresponds to an entry in the dictionary passed to the
`nvim-treesitter.configs.setup` function, this should be in your `init.vim` file.

>
  lua <<EOF
  require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
    -- Modules and its options go here
    highlight = { enable = true },
    incremental_selection = { enable = true },
    textobjects = { enable = true },
  }
  EOF
<

All modules share some common options, like `enable` and `disable`.
When `enable` is `true` this will enable the module for all supported languages,
if you want to disable the module for some languages you can pass a list to the `disable` option.

>
  lua <<EOF
  require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
    highlight = {
      enable = true,
      disable = { "cpp", "lua" },
    },
  }
  EOF
<

Options that define or accept a keymap use the same format you use to define
keymaps in Neovim, so you can write keymaps as  `gd`, `<space>a`, `<leader>a`
`<C-a>` (control + a), `<A-n>` (alt + n), `<CR>` (enter), etc.

External plugins can provide their own modules with their own options,
those can also be configured using the `nvim-treesitter.configs.setup`
function.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HIGHLIGHT                                      *nvim-treesitter-highlight-mod*

Consistent syntax highlighting.

Query files: `highlights.scm`.
Supported options:

- enable: `true` or `false`.
- disable: list of languages.
- custom_captures: A map of user defined capture groups to highlight groups.
  See |nvim-treesitter-query-extensions|.

>
  lua <<EOF
  require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
    highlight = {
      enable = true,
      use_languagetree = false, -- Use this to enable language injection
      custom_captures = {
        -- Highlight the @foo.bar capture group with the "Identifier" highlight group.
        ["foo.bar"] = "Identifier",
      },
    },
  }
  EOF
<
Note: The api is not stable yet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INCREMENTAL SELECTION              *nvim-treesitter-incremental-selection-mod*

Incremental selection based on the named nodes from the grammar.

Query files: `locals.scm`.
Supported options:
- enable: `true` or `false`.
- disable: list of languages.
- keymaps:
  - init_selection: in normal mode, start incremental selection.
    Defaults to `gnn`.
  - node_incremental: in visual mode, increment to the upper named parent.
    Defaults to `grn`.
  - scope_incremental: in visual mode, increment to the upper scope
    (as defined in `locals.scm`). Defaults to `grc`.
  - node_decremental: in visual mode, decrement to the previous named node.
    Defaults to `grm`.

  lua <<EOF
  require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
    incremental_selection = {
      enable = true,
      keymaps = {
        init_selection = "gnn",
        node_incremental = "grn",
        scope_incremental = "grc",
        node_decremental = "grm",
      },
    },

USER QUERY EXTENSIONS                        *nvim-treesitter-query-extensions*

Queries are what `nvim-treesitter` uses to extract informations from the syntax tree, and they are
located in the `queries/{lang}/*` runtime directories (like the `queries` folder of this plugin).

`nvim-treesitter` considers queries as any runtime file (see `:h rtp`), that is :

- if the file is in any `after/queries/` folder, then it will be used to extend the already defined
  queries.
- Otherwise, it will be used as a base to define the query, the first query found (with the highest
  priority) will be the only one to be used.

This hybrid approach is the most standard way, and according to that, here is some ideas on how to
use is :
- If you want to rewrite (or write) a query, don't use `after/queries`.
- If you want to override a part of a query (only one match for example), use the `after/queries`
  directory.

get_next_node(node, allow_switch_parent, allow_next_parent)~

Returns the next node within the same parent.
If no node is found, returns `nil`.
If `allow_switch_parent` is true, it will allow switching parent
when the node is the last node.
If `allow_next_parent` is true, it will allow next parent if
the node is the last node and the next parent doesn't have children.

                                                  *ts_utils.get_previous_node*
get_previous_node(node, allow_switch_parents, allow_prev_parent)~

Returns the previous node within the same parent.
`allow_switch_parent` and `allow_prev_parent` follow the same rule
as |ts_utils.get_next_node| but if the node is the first node.

                                                         *ts_utils.goto_node*

Setting `avoid_set_jump` to `true`, avoids setting the current cursor position
to the jump list.

						  *ts_utils.swap_nodes*
swap_nodes(node_or_range1, node_or_range2, bufnr, cursor_to_second)~

FUNCTIONS                                          *nvim-treesitter-functions*

                                          *nvim_treesitter#statusline()*
nvim_treesitter#statusline(opts)~

Returns a string describing the current position in the file. This
could be used as a statusline indicator.
Default options (lua syntax):
>
  {
    indicator_size = 100,
    type_patterns = {'class', 'function', 'method'},
    transform_fn = function(line) return line:gsub('%s*[%[%(%{]*%s*$', '') end,
    separator = ' -> '
  }
<
- `indicator_size` - How long should the string be. If longer, it is cut from
  the beginning.
- `type_patterns` - Which node type patterns to match.
- `transform_fn` - Function used to transform the single item in line. By
  default removes opening brackets and spaces from end.
- `separator` - Separator between nodes.

                                                  *nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()*
nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()~

Functions to be used to determine the fold level at a given line number.
To use it: >
  set foldmethod=expr
  set foldexpr=nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()
<

This will respect your 'foldnestmax' setting.

Note: This is highly experimental, and folding can break on some types of
      edits. If you encounter such breakage, hiting `zx` should fix folding.
      In any case, feel free to open an issue with the reproducing steps.

PERFORMANCE                                      *nvim-treesitter-performance*
