Go package for writing Neovim plugins

go get github.com/myitcv/neovim

This package is very much in alpha. Therefore, expect changes to this API. Stuff will break.

Writing plugins

See:

• the Example plugin for a brief README on how to
  implement your own Go plugin
• neogo, a proof of concept Neovim plugin written against the neovim Go package to support Go development in Neovim. This uses a go/parser AST generated from the current buffer to highlight code using matchaddpos (as opposed to Neovim's default regex-based syntax definitions)

As explained in the TODO, many of the steps required to create a plugin are not currently automated, but very much on the roadmap.

Supported platforms

At the time of writing this package has only been written for/tested against Linux.

Support welcomed on other platforms

Tests

go test ./...
