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

In your plugins file

 "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

 -- 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

Term

• Create, toggle terminals with cmd, window options ( can also be used to color each term window differently! )
• Manage code runner
• ( :Telescope terms ) to unhide terminal buffers leader + pt .

Lsp Signature

• Minimal signature window ( 50 LOC ~), just uses vim.lsp.buf.signature_help on some autocmds.

Lsp Variable Renamer

• Used for renaming

Colorify

• Minimal colorizer module that colors hex colors and all LSP related variables etc ( useful for tailwind, css etc and every lsp that supports it )
• Just supports virtual text, fg, bg

Nvdash

• 150 ~ LOC Dashboard module, minimal & nothing fancy!

Cmp styles

• A lot of cmp theming with base46!
• Do know that nvchad's base46 has like 68 themes, so dont judge the screenshots by colors!
• Support for Tailwind & Css LSP colors

Modern Theme Picker

• With 3 different styles : bordered, compact, flat

NvCheatsheet

• Auto-generated mappings cheatsheet module, which has a similar layout to that of CSS's masonry layout.
• It has 2 themes ( grid & simple )

Automatic Mason install

• MasonInstallAll command will now capture all the mason tools from your config
• Supported plugins are : lspconfig, nvim-lint, conform.nvim
• So for example if you have lspconfig like this :

require("lspconfig").html.setup{}
require("lspconfig").clangd.setup{}

Then running MasonInstallAll will install both the mason pkgs

check :h nvui.mason for more info
