# Yet Another Remote Plugin Framework for Neovim
This is my attempt on writing a remote plugin framework without
`:UpdateRemotePlugins`.
## Requirements
- `has('python3')`
- For Vim 8:
- [roxma/vim-hug-neovim-rpc](https://github.com/roxma/vim-hug-neovim-rpc)
- `g:python3_host_prog` pointed to your python3 executable, or `echo
exepath('python3')` is not empty.
- [neovim python client](https://github.com/neovim/python-client) (`pip3
install neovim`)
## Usage
pythonx/hello.py
```python
import vim, time
def greet():
time.sleep(3)
vim.command('echo "Hello world"')
```
plugin/hello.vim
```vim
" Create a python3 process running the hello module. The process is lazy load.
let s:hello = yarp#py3('hello')
com HelloSync call s:hello.request('greet')
com HelloAsync call s:hello.notify('greet')
" You could type :Hello greet
com -nargs=1 Hello call s:hello.request(<f-args>)
```
## Debugging
Add logging settigns to your vimrc. Log files will be generated with prefix
`/tmp/nvim_log`. An alternative is to export environment variables before
starting vim/nvim.
```vim
let $NVIM_PYTHON_LOG_FILE="/tmp/nvim_log"
let $NVIM_PYTHON_LOG_LEVEL="DEBUG"
```
## Example for existing neovim rplugin porting to Vim 8
More realistic examples could be found at
[nvim-typescript#84](https://github.com/mhartington/nvim-typescript/pull/84),
[deoplete#553](https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim/pull/553),
[callmekohei/quickdebug](https://github.com/callmekohei/quickdebug).
Now let's consider the following simple rplugin.
After `UpdateRemotePlugins` and restarting neovim, you get `foobar` by `:echo
Bar()`.
```python
# rplugin/python3/foo.py
import neovim
@neovim.plugin
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self, vim):
self._vim = vim
@neovim.function("Bar", sync=True)
def bar(self, args):
return 'hello' + str(args)
```
For working on Vim 8, you need to add these two files:
```vim
" plugin/foo.vim
if has('nvim')
finish
endif
let s:foo = yarp#py3('foo_wrap')
func! Bar(v)
return s:foo.call('bar',a:v)
endfunc
```
```python
# pythonx/foo_wrap.py
from foo import Foo as _Foo
import vim
_obj = _Foo(vim)
def bar(*args):
return _obj.bar(args)
```
How to use
```
$ vim
: echo bar('world')
hello('world',)
```
