## Features - Light and unobtrusive - No Python/Node providers (or CoC) required - Cross-platform support: macOS, nixOS, Linux Windows, WSL - Startup time is fast(er than other Rich Presence plugins, by [kind of a lot](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/wiki/Plugin-Comparisons)) - Written in Lua and [highly configurable](#configuration) in Lua (but also configurable in VimL if you want) - Manages Rich Presence across multiple Neovim instances in various environments (tmux panes/windows, ssh sessions, terminal tabs/windows, etc.) - Now with Flatpak support! ## Installation > [!Note] > > Requires [Neovim 0.5](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/v0.5.0) > or higher Use your favorite plugin manager - [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug): `Plug 'jiriks74/presence.nvim'` - [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim): `use 'jiriks74/presence.nvim'` - [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim): ```lua { "jiriks74/presence.nvim", event = "UIEnter", }, ``` Rich Presence should work automatically after installation > [!Important] > > If you're using WSL1 there's additional setup needed. > WSL2 **is not supported** but ***may*** work. > [**See Wiki**](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/wiki/Rich-Presence-in-WSL)) ## Configuration Configuration is not necesary unless you want to override the default config. If you want to change the default config here are your options in Lua and VimL: ### Lua Require the plugin and call `setup` with a config table with one or more 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 = "1172122807501594644", -- 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 = 10, -- Number of seconds to debounce events (or calls to `:lua package.loaded.presence:update(, true)`) enable_line_number = false, -- Displays the current line number instead of the current project blacklist = {}, -- A list of strings or Lua patterns that disable Rich Presence if the current file name, path, or workspace matches buttons = true, -- Configure Rich Presence button(s), either a boolean to enable/disable, a static table (`{{ label = "", url = "" }, ...}`, or a function(buffer: string, repo_url: string|nil): table) file_assets = {}, -- Custom file asset definitions keyed by file names and extensions (see default config at `lua/presence/file_assets.lua` for reference) show_time = true, -- Show the timer -- Rich Presence text options editing_text = "Editing %s", -- Format string rendered when an editable file is loaded in the buffer (either string or function(filename: string): string) file_explorer_text = "Browsing %s", -- Format string rendered when browsing a file explorer (either string or function(file_explorer_name: string): string) git_commit_text = "Committing changes", -- Format string rendered when committing changes in git (either string or function(filename: string): string) plugin_manager_text = "Managing plugins", -- Format string rendered when managing plugins (either string or function(plugin_manager_name: string): string) reading_text = "Reading %s", -- Format string rendered when a read-only or unmodifiable file is loaded in the buffer (either string or function(filename: string): string) workspace_text = "Working on %s", -- Format string rendered when in a git repository (either string or function(project_name: string|nil, filename: string): string) line_number_text = "Line %s out of %s", -- Format string rendered when `enable_line_number` is set to true (either string or function(line_number: number, line_count: number): 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 = "1172122807501594644" let g:presence_log_level let g:presence_debounce_timeout = 10 let g:presence_enable_line_number = 0 let g:presence_blacklist = [] let g:presence_buttons = 1 let g:presence_file_assets = {} let g:presence_show_time = 1 " 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" let g:presence_line_number_text = "Line %s out of %s" ``` ## Troubleshooting - Ensure that Discord is running - Ensure that your Neovim version is 0.5 or higher - 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 determine Discord IPC socket` error, your particular OS may not yet be supported - If you don't see an existing [issue](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/issues) or [card](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/projects/1#column-14183588) for your OS, create a prefixed [issue](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/issues/new) (e.g. `[Void Linux]`) - Still not working and need help? Create a new [issue](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/issues)! ## Development - Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/jiriks74/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` - Make sure that your contribution follows [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines before creating a PR. ## Contributing **Please read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/jiriks74/presence.nvim/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) before creating a PR or an issue.** Pull requests are very welcome, feel free to open an issue to work on or [message me directly (@jiriks74)](https://discordapp.com/users/517810049360461837) on my [Discord server](https://discord.gg/cCq3qcB4jB)!
