Nvim-treesitter configuration

There are two main components in a treesitter config.

• parsers: languages
• modules: language features (syntax-highlighting, indentation, ...)

Enabling Features

Parsers

You can set the parsers you'd like to make available within your init.vim.

-- ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

lua <<EOF
require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
    -- automatically install these language parsers:
    --   * "maintained"              # all parsers with maintainers
    --   * "all"                     # all available parsers
    --   * { "bash", "python", .. }  # these specific languages
    ensure_installed = "maintained";
}
EOF

Modules

Enable modules within your init.nvim

-- ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

lua <<EOF
require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
  highlight = {
    enable = true,
    -- vim syntax + treesitter syntax? (true/false/list-of-languages)
    additional_vim_regex_highlighting = false,
  },
  incremental_selection = { enable = true; },
  indent = { enable = true; },
}
EOF

Folds

Adjust the foldmethods/foldexprs for languages you'd like to fold using tree-sitter.

set foldmethod=expr
set foldexpr=nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()

Customizing Features

NOTE:

I gave up on trying to do this the cleanly.
I forked the project and I'm hosting it at home. Will rebase periodically for new features.

Basics

Default configuration of features is set within the queries directory in .scm files.
In the code, these are read using nvim_get_runtime_file which layers files from ~/.vim overtop of these files.
Simply override the settings within your .vim directory.

Folds

I don't think folds can be customized without changing the plugin sourcecode.
I think all searches are appended, you cannot remove builtin searches.
You can rewrite them though. Here are some examples:

python

; ~/.vim/bundle/nvim-treesitter/queries/python/folds.scm

(function_definition) @fold
(class_definition) @fold

ruby

(method) @fold
(singleton_method) @fold
(class) @fold
(module) @fold
(singleton_class) @fold
(lambda) @fold

graphql

(directive) @fold
(enum_type_definition) @fold
(enum_type_extension) @fold
(input_object_type_definition) @fold
(input_object_type_extension) @fold
(interface_type_definition) @fold
(interface_type_extension) @fold
(named_type) @fold
(object_type_definition) @fold
(object_type_extension) @fold
(scalar_type_definition) @fold
(scalar_type_extension) @fold
(union_type_definition) @fold
(union_type_extension) @fold

Keeping Fork Alive

Update existing branch (minimum effort)

git-updateremotes
git checkout master
git pull github
git checkout -

# see modified files
git diff  --diff-filter=M --name-only master...

# confirm all searches still valid
git diff  --diff-filter=M master...

git rebase master

Build new branch (safest/fallback)

git-updateremotes
git checkout master
git fetch github/master
git reset --hard github/master
git checkout -b fold_preferences_${LAST}
git log  # see files that I changed

for f in `cat ~/files_i_want`; do; git checkout fold_preferences_${LAST} -- "$f" ; done
tig # see changes

nvim ~/.vim/config/plugins/nvim/treesitter/init.vim  # update 'Plug ... branch'
:TSUpdate  # otherwise WILL fail

# test nvim, and each file within pers-testfiles
