Setup options

For speed tweakers: don't worry about lazy loading; overseer lazy-loads itself!

Lua API

As overseer is in beta status, the API is not completely solidified. Breaking change may be made if necessary to improve the plugin, but they will not be made unless absolutely necessary. Wherever possible, functions will be gracefully deprecated with clear migration messages.

The official API surface includes:

params nil|table Parameters to pass to template
cwd nil|string Working directory for the task
env nil|table<string, string> Additional environment variables for the task
callback nil|fun(task: overseer.Task|nil, err: string|nil)

Note:

The prompt option will control when the user is presented a popup dialog to input template
parameters. The possible values are:
   always    Show when template has any params
   missing   Show when template has any params not explicitly passed in
   allow     Only show when a required param is missing
   avoid     Only show when a required param with no default value is missing
   never     Never show prompt (error if required param missing)
The default is controlled by the default_template_prompt config option.

Examples:

-- Run the task named "make all"
-- equivalent to :OverseerRun make all
overseer.run_template({name = "make all"})
-- Run the default "build" task
-- equivalent to :OverseerRun BUILD
overseer.run_template({tags = {overseer.TAG.BUILD}})
-- Run the task named "serve" with some default parameters
overseer.run_template({name = "serve", params = {port = 8080}})
-- Create a task but do not start it
overseer.run_template({name = "make", autostart = false}, function(task)
  -- do something with the task
end)
-- Run a task and immediately open the floating window
overseer.run_template({name = "make"}, function(task)
  if task then
    overseer.run_action(task, 'open float')
  end
end)
-- Run a task and always show the parameter prompt
overseer.run_template({name = "npm watch", prompt = "always"})

preload_task_cache(opts, cb)
Preload templates for run_template

Param Type Desc
opts nil|table
dir string
ft nil|string
cb nil|fun() Called when preloading is complete

Note:

Typically this would be done to prevent a long wait time for :OverseerRun when using a slow
template provider.

Examples:

-- Automatically preload templates for the current directory
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({"VimEnter", "DirChanged"}, {
  local cwd = vim.v.cwd or vim.fn.getcwd()
  require("overseer").preload_task_cache({ dir = cwd })
})

module nil|string The name of the module this was loaded from
aliases nil|string[]
desc nil|string

params nil|overseer.Params|fun(): overseer.Params
priority nil|number
condition nil|overseer.SearchCondition
builder fun(params: table): overseer.TaskDefinition
hide nil|boolean Hide from the template list
override nil|table<string, any> Override any fields on the base
default_params nil|table<string, any> Provide default values for any parameters on the base

Note:

This is typically used for a TemplateProvider, to define the task a single time and generate
multiple templates based on the available args.

Examples:

local tmpl = {
  params = {
    args = { type = 'list', delimiter = ' ' }
  },
  builder = function(params)
  return {
    cmd = { 'make' },
    args = params.args,
  }
}
local template_provider = {
  name = "Some provider",
  generator = function(opts, cb)
    cb({
      overseer.wrap_template(tmpl, nil, { args = { 'all' } }),
      overseer.wrap_template(tmpl, {name = 'make clean'}, { args = { 'clean' } }),
    })
  end
}

add_template_hook(opts, hook)

add_template_hook(opts, hook)
Add a hook that runs on a TaskDefinition before the task is created

Param Type Desc

filetype nil|string|string[] Only run if the current file is one of these filetypes
dir nil|string|string[] Only run if inside one of these directories
hook fun(task_defn: overseer.TaskDefinition, util: overseer.TaskUtil)

Examples:

-- Add on_output_quickfix component to all "cargo" templates
overseer.add_template_hook({ module = "^cargo$" }, function(task_defn, util)
  util.add_component(task_defn, { "on_output_quickfix", open = true })
end)
-- Remove the on_complete_notify component from "cargo clean" task
overseer.add_template_hook({ name = "cargo clean" }, function(task_defn, util)
  util.remove_component(task_defn, "on_complete_notify")
end)
-- Add an environment variable for all go tasks in a specific dir
overseer.add_template_hook({ name = "^go .*", dir = "/path/to/project" }, function(task_defn, util)
  task_defn.env = vim.tbl_extend('force', task_defn.env or {}, {
    GO111MODULE = "on"
  })
end)

Examples:

local opts = {module = "cargo"}
local hook = function(task_defn, util)
  util.add_component(task_defn, { "on_output_quickfix", open = true })
end
overseer.add_template_hook(opts, hook)
-- Remove should pass in the same opts as add
overseer.remove_template_hook(opts, hook)

register_template(defn)

register_template(defn)
Directly register an overseer template

Param Type Desc
defn overseer.TemplateDefinition|overseer.TemplateProvider

Examples:

overseer.register_template({
  name = "My Task",
  builder = function(params)
    return {
      cmd = { "echo", "Hello", "world" },
    }
  end,
})

load_template(name)

load_template(name)
Load a template definition from its module location

Param Type Desc
name string

Examples:

-- This will load the template in lua/overseer/template/mytask.lua
overseer.load_template('mytask')

debug_parser()

debug_parser()
Open a tab with windows laid out for debugging a parser

register_alias(name, components)

register_alias(name, components)
Register a new component alias.

Param Type Desc
name string
components overseer.Serialized[]

Note:

This is intended to be used by plugin authors that wish to build on top of overseer. They do not
have control over the call to overseer.setup(), so this provides an alternative method of
setting a component alias that they can then use when creating tasks.

Examples:

require("overseer").register_alias("my_plugin", { "default", "on_output_quickfix" })

Components

Strategies

Parsers

Parameters

Parameters are a schema-defined set of options. They are used by both components and templates to expose customization options.

local params = {
  my_var = {
    type = "string",
    -- Optional fields that are available on any type
    name = "More readable name",
    desc = "A detailed description",
    order = 1, -- determines order of parameters in the UI
    validate = function(value)
      return true,
    end,
    optional = true,
    default = "foobar",
    -- For component params only.
    -- When true, will default to the value in the task's default_component_params
    default_from_task = true,
  }
}

The following types are available:

{
  type = "string"
}
{
  type = "boolean"
}
{
  type = "number"
}
{
  type = "integer"
}
{
  type = "list",
  subtype = {
    type = "string"
  },
  delimiter = ",",
}
{
  type = "enum",
  choices = {"ONE", "TWO", "THREE"},
}
{
  -- This is used when the value is too complex to be represented or edited by the user in the task editor.
  -- It should generally only be used by components (which are usually configured programmatically)
  -- and not templates (which usually prompt the user for their parameters)
  type = "opaque"
}

Templates can define params to be a function, to dynamically generate the params.

require("overseer").register_template({
  name = "Git checkout",
  params = function()
    local stdout = vim.system({ "git", "branch", "--format=%(refname:short)" }):wait().stdout
    local branches = vim.split(stdout, "\n", { trimempty = true })
    return {
      branch = {
        desc = "Branch to checkout",
        type = "enum",
        choices = branches,
      },
    }
  end,
  builder = function(params)
    return {
      cmd = { "git", "checkout", params.branch },
    }
  end,
})
