[Not an issue] Sharing my express_line customization

Open ibhagwan opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

After seeing the clean looking statusline in @tjdevries videos I decided to explore this plugin and really loved it, with a bit of lua/nvim knowledge it provides the most flexibilty to do anything with your statusline with great performance (no timed quries, event based for "heavier" queries), as more of a DIY personality and wanting to have full control over my statusline this is perfect :-)

TJ's config wasn't exactly how I wanted it so I embarked on a little project and I'm very happy with the result, decided to share just in case anyone finds this useful:

"Features" include:

Minimal and dimmed (using StatusLineNC) statusline when window is inactive (if not using global statusline) or for certain filetypes (fugitive, nvim-tree, packer)
Automatic highlights derived from current colorscheme (updated in runtime if new colorscheme is set)
Highlights for git/diagnostics are runtime generated to match the StatusLine highlight bg color
Diagnostics fallback to vim.lsp.diagnostic when neovim version < 0.6 (don't ask me why I'm using 0.6.1|nightly lol)
Diagnostics include current LSP client name (can be turned off) so you know when your LSP is connected even when no diags are present
Git indicators will use information from gitsigns and vim-fugitive if those exists (avoids the extra git system call, better per-file stats)
Customizable icons for mode, git branch, git changes, diagnostics (can change the -+~ and W:E:I:H if you wish)

It's very opnionated so I have no plans on making this an additonal plugin or extension but if one wishes to use the code in your config it only consists of 2 files (from my nvim config):
