respectively. Use a |FileType| autocommand to configure
any local options for these windows and their respective buffers.
Rather than a |hit-enter-prompt|, messages shown in the cmdline area that do
not fit are appended with a `[+x]` "spill" indicator, where `x` indicates the
spilled lines. To see the full message, the |g<| command can be used.
==============================================================================
Lua module: vim.filetype *vim.filetype*
vim.filetype.add({filetypes}) *vim.filetype.add()*
Add new filetype mappings.
Filetype mappings can be added either by extension or by filename (either
the "tail" or the full file path). The full file path is checked first,
followed by the file name. If a match is not found using the filename,
then the filename is matched against the list of |lua-pattern|s (sorted by
priority) until a match is found. Lastly, if pattern matching does not
find a filetype, then the file extension is used.
The filetype can be either a string (in which case it is used as the
filetype directly) or a function. If a function, it takes the full path
and buffer number of the file as arguments (along with captures from the
matched pattern, if any) and should return a string that will be used as
the buffer's filetype. Optionally, the function can return a second
function value which, when called, modifies the state of the buffer. This
can be used to, for example, set filetype-specific buffer variables. This
function will be called by Nvim before setting the buffer's filetype.
Filename patterns can specify an optional priority to resolve cases when a
file path matches multiple patterns. Higher priorities are matched first.
When omitted, the priority defaults to 0. A pattern can contain
environment variables of the form "${SOME_VAR}" that will be automatically
expanded. If the environment variable is not set, the pattern won't be
matched.
See $VIMRUNTIME/lua/vim/filetype.lua for more examples.
Example: >lua
vim.filetype.add({
extension = {
foo = 'fooscript',
bar = function(path, bufnr)
if some_condition() then
return 'barscript', function(bufnr)
-- Set a buffer variable
vim.b[bufnr].barscript_version = 2
end
end
return 'bar'
end,
},
filename = {
['.foorc'] = 'toml',
['/etc/foo/config'] = 'toml',
},
pattern = {
['.*/etc/foo/.*'] = 'fooscript',
-- Using an optional priority
['.*/etc/foo/.*%.conf'] = { 'dosini', { priority = 10 } },
-- A pattern containing an environment variable
['${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/foo/git'] = 'git',
['.*README.(%a+)'] = function(path, bufnr, ext)
if ext == 'md' then
return 'markdown'
elseif ext == 'rst' then
return 'rst'
end
end,
},
})
<
To add a fallback match on contents, use >lua
vim.filetype.add {
pattern = {
['.*'] = {
function(path, bufnr)
local content = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines(bufnr, 0, 1, false)[1] or ''
if vim.regex([[^#!.*\\<mine\\>]]):match_str(content) ~= nil then
return 'mine'
elseif vim.regex([[\\<drawing\\>]]):match_str(content) ~= nil then
return 'drawing'
end
end,
{ priority = -math.huge },
},
},
}
