Ⅳ. 文档说明

# vim-node-rpc

This module is made to make vim start a messagepack server as neovim
does, so that neovim remote plugins could work for vim.

Tested on vim 8.1.150, could works, but still W.I.P.

Install

If you're using coc.nvim, you don't need
this module any more.

How it works

Play with it

Install nodejs and yarn

Install python-client (used for testing) by:

pip install pynvim

Start testing service by:

./start.sh

Now you can control your vim with python-client from neovim.

Have fun.

API

• nvim#rpc#start_server() start server.
• nvim#rpc#check_client({clientId}) check if clientId available.
• nvim#rpc#request({clientId}, {method}, [{arguments}]) send request.
• nvim#rpc#notify({clientId}, {method}, [{arguments}]) send notification.

The clientId would be send to client on method nvim_api_get_info as
channelId of neovim.

A client can connect to exists RPC server by listen to $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS
like neovim client.

Limitation

There're some methods that no clear way to implement for vim:

• nvim_execute_lua
• nvim_input
• nvim_buf_attach
• nvim_buf_detach
• nvim_get_hl_by_name
• nvim_get_hl_by_id
• nvim_buf_get_keymap
• nvim_buf_get_commands
• nvim_buf_add_highlight
• nvim_buf_clear_highlight
• nvim_replace_termcodes
• nvim_subscribe
• nvim_unsubscribe
• nvim_get_color_by_name
• nvim_get_color_map
• nvim_get_keymap
• nvim_get_commands
• nvim_get_chan_info
• nvim_list_chans
• nvim_parse_expression
• nvim_get_proc_children
• nvim_get_proc

Some methods requires python support of vim to work, you should either have
has('python') or has('python3') to 1 with vim.
