# NvChad UI Plugin 

This ui plugin is a collection of many UI modules like statusline, tabline, cheatsheet, nvdash and much more!
- Docs at `:h nvui` 

## Install

- Create `lua/chadrc.lua` file that returns a table, can be empty table too.
- Table structure must be same as [nvconfig.lua](https://github.com/NvChad/ui/blob/v3.0/lua/nvconfig.lua)

In your plugins file
```lua
 "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
 { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", lazy = true },

 {
   "nvchad/ui",
    config = function()
      require "nvchad" 
    end
 },

 {
    "nvchad/base46",
    lazy = true,
    build = function()
      require("base46").load_all_highlights()
    end,
 },

 "nvchad/volt", -- optional, needed for theme switcher
 -- or just use Telescope themes
```

Base46 setup
```lua
 -- put this in your main init.lua file ( before lazy setup )
 vim.g.base46_cache = vim.fn.stdpath "data" .. "/base46_cache/"

-- put this after lazy setup 

-- (method 1, For heavy lazyloaders)
 dofile(vim.g.base46_cache .. "defaults")
 dofile(vim.g.base46_cache .. "statusline")

-- (method 2, for non lazyloaders) to load all highlights at once
 for _, v in ipairs(vim.fn.readdir(vim.g.base46_cache)) do
   dofile(vim.g.base46_cache .. v)
 end
```

## List of Features with screenshots 

## Tabufline

- Mix of tabline & bufferline. 
- Each tab will have its own set of buffers stored, and the tabufline will show those only.
- Think of it like workspaces on Linux/Windows where windows stay in their own workspaces, but in vim buffers from all tabs will be shown in every tab!

## Statusline 

- Statusline with 4 different styles

- Manage code runner 
- ( :Telescope terms ) to unhide [terminal buffers](https://www.youtube.com/embed/3DysWI_6YpQ) <kbd> leader + pt </kbd>.

## Lsp Signature

- Minimal signature window ( [50 LOC ~](https://github.com/NvChad/ui/blob/v3.0/lua/nvchad/lsp/signature.lua)), just uses `vim.lsp.buf.signature_help` on some autocmds.
