## Features
* Simple and unobtrusive
* Support for macOS, Linux, and Windows[\*](#notes)
* No Python/Node providers (or CoC) required
* Startup time is fast(er than other Rich Presence plugins, by [kind of a lot](https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim/wiki/Plugin-Comparisons))
* Written in Lua and configurable in Lua (but also configurable in VimL if you want)

## Installation
Use your favorite plugin manager
* [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug): `Plug 'andweeb/presence.nvim'`
* [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim): `use 'andweeb/presence.nvim'`

#### Notes
* Requires [Neovim nightly](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly) (0.5)
* Windows is [partially supported](https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim/projects/1#card-60537963), WSL is [not yet supported](https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim/projects/1#card-60537961)

## Configuration
Rich Presence works right out of the box after installation, so configuration is **optional**! For those that do want to override default behaviors, however, configuration options are available in either Lua or VimL.

### Lua
Require the plugin and call `setup` with a config table with any of the following keys:

```lua
-- The setup config table shows all available config options with their default values:
require("presence"):setup({
    -- General options
    auto_update         = true,                       -- Update activity based on autocmd events (if `false`, map or manually execute `:lua package.loaded.presence:update()`)
    neovim_image_text   = "The One True Text Editor", -- Text displayed when hovered over the Neovim image
    main_image          = "neovim",                   -- Main image display (either "neovim" or "file")
    client_id           = "793271441293967371",       -- Use your own Discord application client id (not recommended)
    log_level           = nil,                        -- Log messages at or above this level (one of the following: "debug", "info", "warn", "error")
    debounce_timeout    = 15,                         -- Number of seconds to debounce TextChanged events (or calls to `:lua package.loaded.presence:update(<filename>, true)`)

    -- Rich Presence text options
    editing_text        = "Editing %s",               -- Format string rendered when an editable file is loaded in the buffer
    file_explorer_text  = "Browsing %s"               -- Format string rendered when browsing a file explorer
    git_commit_text     = "Committing changes"        -- Format string rendered when commiting changes in git
    plugin_manager_text = "Managing plugins"          -- Format string rendered when managing plugins
    reading_text        = "Reading %s"                -- Format string rendered when a read-only or unmodifiable file is loaded in the buffer
    workspace_text      = "Working on %s",            -- Workspace format string (either string or function(git_project_name: string|nil, buffer: string): string)
})
```

### VimL
Or if global variables are more your thing, you can use any of the following instead:
```viml
" General options
let g:presence_auto_update         = 1
let g:presence_neovim_image_text   = "The One True Text Editor"
let g:presence_main_image          = "neovim"
let g:presence_client_id           = "793271441293967371"
let g:presence_log_level
let g:presence_debounce_timeout    = 15

" Rich Presence text options
let g:presence_editing_text        = "Editing %s"
let g:presence_file_explorer_text  = "Browsing %s"
let g:presence_git_commit_text     = "Committing changes"
let g:presence_plugin_manager_text = "Managing plugins"
let g:presence_reading_text        = "Reading %s"
let g:presence_workspace_text      = "Working on %s"
```

## Troubleshooting
* Ensure that Discord is running
* Ensure that your Neovim version is on 0.5
* Ensure Game Activity is enabled in your Discord settings
* Enable logging and inspect the logs after opening a buffer
    * Set the [`log_level`](#lua) setup option or [`g:presence_log_level`](#viml) to `"debug"`
    * Load a file and inspect the logs with `:messages`
* If there is a `Failed to get Discord IPC socket` error, your particular OS may not yet be supported
    * If you don't see an existing [issue](https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim/issues) or [card](https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim/projects/1#column-14183588) for your OS, create a prefixed [issue](https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim/issues/new) (e.g. `[Void Linux]`)

## Development
* Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/andweeb/presence.nvim.git`
* Enable [logging](#configuration) and ensure that `presence.nvim` is **_not_** in the list of vim plugins in your config
* Run `nvim` with your local changes: `nvim --cmd 'set rtp+=path/to/your/local/presence.nvim' file.txt`
* Ensure that there are no [luacheck](https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck/) errors: `luacheck lua`
