Vim Extension

[mostypc123]

i love this project but it needs nvim support

[0PandaDEV]

Thanks I planned on supporting nvim anyway, but I'm not familiar with nvim and its plugin system at all. Do you know how this could be implemented? I saw that wakatime is using a CLI for all IDE's that don't have a native implementation.

I am not a nvim plugin dev so i am not sure, I am gonna do a bit of research on it

[mostypc123]

found this, should be useful

https://github.com/goncaloalves/neovim-plugin-hello-world

I can help with that but I'm not familiar with the API's to call and when to call (the general workflow). If you give me a detailed info on how to do it I can create the plugin @0PandaDEV

PS: I haven't tried Ziit yet but I'm on the look for such a tool :)

[0PandaDEV]

@augustocdias Thanks for your interest I will probably add a page to https://docs.ziit.app how plugins should be structured so everyone can make one for their IDE. The API endpoints needed for that are already on there.

[augustocdias]

I can see that the main endpoint to push data is the heartbeat. When should it be called? Every time I open a new file? Should I do something when I close it or close the editor?

[0PandaDEV]

@augustocdias I have added a new page to the docs containing all information about how a extension should be built https://docs.ziit.app/extension-spec-sheet

[0PandaDEV]

And this would be the repo https://github.com/0PandaDEV/ziit-neovim

[augustocdias]

Okay. I'll try to find some time to start with it and make a PR there.

[augustocdias]

I've opened a PR.

Disclaimer that I've generated the boilerplate part with AI and edited the behavior.

I'm just a bit concerned about the frequency of sending heartbeats. It seems a bit excessive with all the events triggering them...

If you could help test @mostypc123 that would be great :)
