############################### Rainbow delimiters for Neovim ###############################
.. warning::
This plugin is deprecated! Please use rainbow-delimiters.nvim instead
(GitHub mirror). This plugin is implemented as a module for
nvim-treesitter_, but nvim-treesitter has deprecated the module feature.
Hence why I have created a new standalone plugin which does not depend on
nvim-treesitter.
This Neovim plugin provides alternating syntax highlighting (“rainbow
parentheses”) for Neovim, powered by Tree-sitter_. The goal is to have a
hackable plugin which allows for different configuration of queries and
strategies, both globally and per file type. Users can override and extend the
built-in defaults through their own configuration.
Installation and setup ######################
The plugin depends on nvim-treesitter_. Other than that it is installed like
any other Neovim plugin.
Since this is a module for nvim-treesitter you need to setup everything in its configuration. Here is an example:
.. code:: lua
require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup { rainbow = { enable = true, -- list of languages you want to disable the plugin for disable = { 'jsx', 'cpp' }, -- Which query to use for finding delimiters query = 'rainbow-parens', -- Highlight the entire buffer all at once strategy = require('ts-rainbow').strategy.global, } }
Please refer to the manual_ for more details.
Help wanted ###########
There are only so many languages which I understand to the point that I can write queries for them. If you want support for a new language please consider contributing code. See the CONTRIBUTING_ for details.
Status of the plugin ####################
Tree-sitter support in Neovim is still experimental. This plugin and its API should be considered stable insofar as breaking changes will only happen if changes to Neovim necessitates them.
.. warning::
There is currently a shortcoming in Neovim's Tree-sitter API which makes it
so that only the first node of a capture group can be highlighted. Please
see neovim/neovim#17099_ for details. Affected queries:
rainbow-parensrainbow-parens-react (affects React tags
only)rainbow-parens) (affects only the for ... in inside
comprehensions)rainbow-parens-react (affects React tags
only)Vue.js rainbow-parens
Most of these are related to HTML-like tags, so you can use an alternative
query instead. See the manual_ (:h ts-rainbow-query) for a list of extra
queries.
