How to use the statusline feature? #143

Closed mweisshaupt1988 closed 2 years ago

mweisshaupt1988 commented 2 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to get the statusline feature to work but I might be missing something.

Consider this configuration snippet for lualine an example: 

lualine_x = {{ vim.fn["db_ui#statusline"]({ show = {'db_name', 'table'}, separator = ' > ', prefix = '' }), }},

Also calling the function manually with or without parameters from the command line does not seem to produce any results. I'm using Neovim 8 and the latest version of dadbod and dadbod-ui. The databases are all postgres.

Can you point me to an example configuration where this function is used or verify if it still works? Thank you.

I'm not sure how to use it for lualine, but you can see how I define it for my custom statusline : https://github.com/kristijanhusak/neovim-config/blob/master/nvim/lua/partials/statusline.lua#L226-L253. Basically once you add it to a statusline, it should know to print something into statusline for buffers created by vim-dadbod-ui.

I finally had some time to revisit this question.

Thanks for the example. For lualine I got it to work like this:

lualine_x = { function() return vim.fn["db_ui#statusline"]({ show = {'db_name', 'schema', 'table'}, separator = ' > ', prefix = ' ' }) end },
