vim-package-info

Previously vim-package-json

It lets you view the latest version of each package of your dependency.

Currently supports package.json and Cargo.toml

package.json	Cargo.toml

Default colors:

• green: patch update
• cyan: minor update
• red: major update

Installation

Use your favorite plugin manager.

I use vim-plug.

Plug 'meain/vim-package-info', { 'do': 'npm install' }

After installing the plugin, run :UpdateRemotePlugins to register it with Neovim.

Needs virtual text support. ( Neovim 0.3.2 )

Check if echo has('nvim-0.3.2') returns 1

Configuration

Change prefix

let g:vim_package_info_virutaltext_prefix = '  ¤ '

Change highlight group

let g:vim_package_info_virutaltext_highlight = 'NonText'

There are three other highlight groups that you can change. You can change them like this

hi VimPackageInfoPatch guifg=#8BC34A
hi VimPackageInfoMinor guifg=#00BCD4
hi VimPackageInfoMajor guifg=#F44336

Development

Adding a new config file type

It is more or less just adding a few regex templates and a some other stuff. Here are a rough sketch of the steps. Feel free to open an issue and ask if you need more help.

1. parser.js > depMarkers : specify start and end tokens for different groups
2. parser.js > nameParserRegex : regex to find the name from a line in the config
3. parser.js > versionParserRegex : regex to find the current version from a line in the config
4. utils.js : Add key to global.vimnpmcache
5. utils.js > getUrl : Add a url formatter
6. utils.js > getLatestVersion : Find latest version from the received data
