Create beautiful code snippets directly from your neovim terminal
Requirements
Neovim 0.8+
Installing
Using your preferred plugin manager, add:
'ellisonleao/carbon-now.nvim'
Example with packer:
use {"ellisonleao/carbon-now.nvim", config = function() require('carbon-now').setup() end}Example with lazy.nvim:
{
"ellisonleao/carbon-now.nvim",
lazy = true,
cmd = "CarbonNow",
---@param opts cn.ConfigSchema
opts = { [[ your custom config here ]] }
}Configuration and customization
The plugin comes with the following default configs:
{
base_url = "https://carbon.now.sh/",
open_cmd = "xdg-open",
options = {
bg = "gray",
drop_shadow_blur = "68px",
drop_shadow = false,
drop_shadow_offset_y = "20px",
font_family = "Hack",
font_size = "18px",
line_height = "133%",
line_numbers = true,
theme = "monokai",
titlebar = "Made with carbon-now.nvim",
watermark = false,
width = "680",
window_theme = "sharp",
},
}You can override it in setup() function. Example:
local carbon = require('carbon-now')
carbon.setup({
options = {
theme = "solarized",
font_family = "Monoid",
}
})Generating snippets from visual selection
Adding a custom mapping for generating a new snippet is really easy
vim.keymap.set("v", "<leader>cn", ":CarbonNow<CR>", { silent = true })But if you preferer a command, visual select the code you want to share and call:
:CarbonNow
Generating snippets from github gists
:CarbonNow GIST_ID
Changing default open in browser command
Example: Opening snippet in google-chrome
require('carbon-now').setup({open_cmd = "google-chrome"})
