# minitab.nvim

Minitab is a minimal lua reimplementaion of the tabline render function with
some improvements.
It consists of only ~80 lines of code.

Minitab started as a fork of
[`alvarosevilla95/luatab.nvim`](https://github.com/alvarosevilla95/luatab.nvim)

## Features
* Text only rendering
* Size/position of tabs doesn't change while switching between them
* File paths are not shown
* Smart handling of module files (e.g. `init.lua` => `module/init.lua`)

## Example bar
` +2 README.md | minitab/init.lua | + [No Name] | ~/docs/src/ | newrw | zsh | TelescopePrompt `

The above text demonstrates or less what you can expect from this plugin's
default tabline rendering.

## Install
Using a [`lazy.nvim`](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim) module
```lua
return { url = 'https://git.tjkeller.xyz/minitab.nvim', config = true }
```

## Configuration
The plugin calls the `helpers.tabline` function to render the line.
It uses the other functions and constants defined in `helpers`.
You can pass overrides for any of these in `setup`.
Please see `lua/minitab.lua` for details.

Example:
```lua
require("minitab").setup{
    modifiedC = "*",
    separator = function(index)
        local sepC = "><"
        if index == 0 then
            sepC = "<"
        elseif index == vim.fn.tabpagenr('$')
            sepC = ">"
        end
        return '%#TabLine#' .. sepC
    end,
}
```
