nvim-cmp

A completion engine plugin for neovim written in Lua. Completion sources are installed from external repositories and "sourced".

Readme!

1. nvim-cmp's breaking changes are documented here.
2. This is my hobby project. You can support me via GitHub sponsors.
3. Bug reports are welcome, but I might not fix if you don't provide a minimal reproduction configuration and steps.
4. The nvim-cmp documents is here.

Concept

• Full support for LSP completion related capabilities
• Powerful customizability via Lua functions
• Smart handling of key mapping
• No flicker

Setup

Recommended Configuration

This example configuration uses vim-plug as the plugin manager and vim-vsnip as snippet plugin.

Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-path'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-cmdline'
Plug 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp'

" For vsnip users.
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-vsnip'
Plug 'hrsh7th/vim-vsnip'

" For luasnip users.

Where can I find more completion sources?

A list of available sources can be found in the Wiki or by searching for projects that match the nvim-cmp GitHub topic.

Please see the corresponding FAQ section or Wiki pages.

Advanced configuration example

Use nvim-cmp as smart omnifunc handler.

nvim-cmp can be used as flexible omnifunc manager.

local cmp = require('cmp')
cmp.setup {
  completion = {
    autocomplete = false, -- disable auto-completion.
  },
}

_G.vimrc = _G.vimrc or {}
_G.vimrc.cmp = _G.vimrc.cmp or {}
_G.vimrc.cmp.lsp = function()
  cmp.complete({
    config = {
      sources = {
        { name = 'nvim_lsp' }
      }
    }
  })
end
_G.vimrc.cmp.snippet = function()
  cmp.complete({
    config = {
      sources = {
        { name = 'vsnip' }
      }
    }
  })
end

vim.cmd([[
  inoremap <C-x><C-o> <Cmd>lua vimrc.cmp.lsp()<CR>
  inoremap <C-x><C-s> <Cmd>lua vimrc.cmp.snippet()<CR>
]])

Full managed completion behavior.

local cmp = require('cmp')

cmp.setup {
  completion = {
    autocomplete = false, -- disable auto-completion.
  }
}

_G.vimrc = _G.vimrc or {}
_G.vimrc.cmp = _G.vimrc.cmp or {}
_G.vimrc.cmp.on_text_changed = function()
  local cursor = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)
  local line = vim.api.nvim_get_current_line()
  local before = string.sub(line, 1, cursor[2] + 1)
  if before:match('%s*$') then
    cmp.complete() -- Trigger completion only if the cursor is placed at the end of line.
  end
end
vim.cmd([[
  augroup vimrc
    autocmd
    autocmd TextChanged,TextChangedI,TextChangedP * call luaeval('vimrc.cmp.on_text_changed()')
  augroup END
]])
