About

Tangerine provides a painless way to add fennel to your config.

Features

🔥 BLAZING fast, compile times in milliseconds
🌊 100% support for interactive evaluation
🎍 Control over when and how to compile
🎀 Natively loads nvim/init.fnl

Comparison to other plugins

HOTPOT 🍲

Abstracts too much away from the user.
Hooks onto lua package searchers to compile [harder to debug].

ANISEED 🌿

Excessively feature rich for use in dotfiles.
Blindly compiles all files that it founds, resulting in slow load times.

Installation

Create file plugin/0-tangerine.lua to bootstrap tangerine:

Important

If you are using lazy.nvim then you should create init.lua instead of plugin/0-tangerine.lua.

Refer to #20 for more information.

-- ~/.config/nvim/plugin/0-tangerine.lua or ~/.config/nvim/init.lua

-- pick your plugin manager
local pack = "tangerine" or "packer" or "paq" or "lazy"

local function bootstrap(url, ref)
    local name = url:gsub(".*/", "")
    local path

    if pack == "lazy" then
        path = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/" .. name
        vim.opt.rtp:prepend(path)
    else
        path = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/site/pack/".. pack .. "/start/" .. name
    end

    if vim.fn.isdirectory(path) == 0 then
        print(name .. ": installing in data dir...")

        vim.fn.system {"git", "clone", url, path}
        if ref then
            vim.fn.system {"git", "-C", path, "checkout", ref}
        end

        vim.cmd "redraw"
        print(name .. ": finished installing")
    end
end

-- for stable version [recommended]
bootstrap("https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim", "v2.9")

-- for git head
bootstrap("https://github.com/udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim")

Call tangerine setup() function, see config for valid options:

-- ~/.config/nvim/plugin/0-tangerine.lua

require "tangerine".setup {}

Invoke :FnlCompile manually or add hooks in setup.

🎋 Now start writing your config in ~/.config/nvim/init.fnl.

🌺 Optionally you can also install hibiscus for macros.

Package Management

Only use a package manager if you haven't used ref option in bootstrap function.

Packer

(local packer (require :packer))

(packer.startup (lambda [use]
  (use :udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim)))

Using hibiscus macros:

(require-macros :hibiscus.packer)

(packer-setup {}) ; bootstraps packer

(packer
  (use! :udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim))

Paq

(local paq (require :paq))

(paq [
  :udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim
])

Lazy

(local lazy (require :lazy))

(lazy.setup [
  :udayvir-singh/tangerine.nvim
])

Setup

Default config

Tangerine comes with sane defaults so that you can get going without having to add much to your config:

local nvim_dir = vim.fn.stdpath [[config]]

{
    vimrc   = nvim_dir .. "/init.fnl",
    source  = nvim_dir .. "/fnl",
    target  = nvim_dir .. "/lua",
    rtpdirs = {},

    custom = {
        -- list of custom [source target] chunks, for example:
        -- {"~/.config/awesome/fnl", "~/.config/awesome/lua"}
    },

    compiler = {
        float   = true,     -- show output in floating window
        clean   = true,     -- delete stale lua files
        force   = false,    -- disable diffing (not recommended)
        verbose = true,     -- enable messages showing compiled files

        globals = vim.tbl_keys(_G), -- list of alowed globals in fennel code

        -- wrapper function that provides access to underlying fennel compiler
        -- useful if you want to modify fennel API or want to provide your own fennel compiler
        adviser = function (fennel)
            -- for example, adding a custom macro path:
            -- fennel["macro-path"] = fennel["macro-path"] .. ";/custom/path/?.fnl"
            return fennel
        end,

        -- version of fennel to use, [ latest, 1-5-1, 1-5-0, 1-4-2, 1-4-1, 1-4-0, 1-3-1, 1-3-0, 1-2-1, 1-2-0, 1-1-0, 1-0-0 ]
        version = "latest",

        -- hooks for tangerine to compile on:
        -- "onsave" run every time you save fennel file in {source} dir
        -- "onload" run on VimEnter event
        -- "oninit" run before sourcing init.fnl [recommended than onload]
        hooks   = {}
    },

    eval = {
        float  = true,      -- show results in floating window
        luafmt = function() -- function that returns formatter with flags for peeked lua
            -- optionally install lua-format by running `$ luarocks install --local --server=https://luarocks.org/dev luaformatter`
            return {"~/.luarocks/bin/lua-format", "--column-limit", "80"}
        end,

        diagnostic = {
            virtual = true,  -- show errors in virtual text
            timeout = 10     -- how long should the error persist
        }
    },

    keymaps = {
        -- set them to <Nop> if you want to disable them
        eval_buffer = "gE",
        peek_buffer = "gL",
        goto_output = "gO",
        float = {
            next    = "<C-K>",
            prev    = "<C-J>",
            kill    = "<Esc>",
            close   = "<Enter>",
            resizef = "<C-W>=",
            resizeb = "<C-W>-"
        }
    },

    highlight = {
        float   = "Normal",
        success = "String",
        errors  = "DiagnosticError"
    },
}

Example Config

Here is config that I use in my dotfiles:

{
    -- save fnl output in a separate dir, it gets automatically added to package.path
    target = vim.fn.stdpath [[data]] .. "/tangerine",

    -- compile files in &rtp
    rtpdirs = {
        "plugin",
        "colors",
        "$HOME/mydir" -- absolute paths are also supported
    },

    compiler = {
        -- disable popup showing compiled files
        verbose = false,

        -- compile every time you change fennel files or on entering vim
        hooks = {"onsave", "oninit"}
    }
}

FAQ

Q: How to make tangerine compile automatically when you open vim

A: add hooks in config:

require [[tangerine]].setup {
    compiler = {
        -- if you want to compile before loading init.fnl (recommended)
        hooks = {"oninit"}

        -- if you want to compile after VimEnter event has fired
        hooks = {"onenter"}
    }
}

Q: How to tuck away compiled output in a separate directory

A: change target in config:

require [[tangerine]].setup {
    target = "/path/to/your/dir"
}

Q: How to make impatient work with tangerine

A: bootstrap and require impatient before calling tangerine:

bootstrap "https://github.com/lewis6991/impatient.nvim"

require [[impatient]]

require [[tangerine]].setup {...}

Q: How to use lua files interchangeably with fennel files

A: lua files can simply be stored in fnl dir:

fnl
├── options.lua
└── autocmd.fnl

; require both as normal modules in your config
(require :options)
(require :autocmd)

Q: How to fix errors in macros while migrating from hotpot

A: make sure that macro files are suffixed with -macros.fnl.

`fnldoc`	generates module level documentation

`build`	combines `fnl` `deps` `vimdoc` `fnldoc`
`watch-build`	watches source dir, runs `:build` on changes

`clean`	deletes build and install dir
`install`	install tangerine on this system

To build tangerine run:

$ make clean build
# or
$ make watch-build

To install tangerine run:

$ make install

Git Hooks

Target	Description
`git-pull`	safely fetches git repo, prevents conflicts with local changes
`git-skip`	makes git ignore changes to build files
`git-unskip`	reverts `git-skip`, makes build files trackable

Example workflow:

$ make git-skip # first thing that you should be running

# makes changes to tangerine
$ ...
$ make clean build
