Tabline: unique buffer names, dynamic rendering

[pseudoparenchymatous]

Any recipes to achieve something like these?

"dynamic rendering" is already implemented, but in a different way, acting more like tabs in a browser. unique buffer names is achievable. this is a recipe.

local get_bufs = function()
    return vim.tbl_filter(function(bufnr)
        return vim.api.nvim_buf_get_option(bufnr, "buflisted")
    end, vim.api.nvim_list_bufs())
end

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "VimEnter", "UIEnter", "BufAdd", "BufDelete" }, {
    callback = function(args)
        local counts = {}
        local dupes = {}
        local names = vim.tbl_map(function(bufnr)
            return vim.fn.fnamemodify(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(bufnr), ":t")
        end, get_bufs())
        for _, name in ipairs(names) do
            counts[name] = (counts[name] or 0) + 1
        end
        for name, count in pairs(counts) do
            if count > 1 then
                dupes[name] = true
            end
        end
        require'heirline'.tabline.dupes = dupes
    end,
})

-- Modify the tabline component responsible for rendering the filename.
-- See the cookbook for the whole setup
local TablineFileName = {
    provider = function(self)
        local filename = vim.fn.fnamemodify(self.filename, ":t")
        if self.dupes and self.dupes[filename] then
            filename = vim.fn.fnamemodify(self.filename, ":h:t") .. "/" .. filename
        end
        filename = filename == "" and "[No Name]" or filename
        return filename
    end,
    hl = function(self)
        return { bold = self.is_active or self.is_visible, italic = true }
    end,
}
