INTRODUCTION                                       *nvim-treesitter-intro*

nvim-treesitter wraps the neovim treesitter api to provide functionnalities such
as highlighting and incremental selection, and a command to easily install parsers.

==============================================================================
QUICK START                                        *nvim-treesitter-quickstart*

Install the parser for your language

>
  :TSInstall {language}
<

To get a list of supported languages

>
  :TSInstallInfo
<

By default, everything is disabled. To enable support for features, in your `init.vim`:

>
  lua <<EOF
  require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
    highlight = {
        enable = true,                    -- false will disable the whole extension
        disable = { 'c', 'rust' },        -- list of language that will be disabled
        custom_captures = {               -- mapping of user defined captures to highlight groups
          -- ["foo.bar"] = "Identifier"   -- highlight own capture @foo.bar with highlight group "Identifier", see :h nvim-treesitter-query-extensions
        },            
    },
    incremental_selection = {
        enable = true,
        disable = { 'cpp', 'lua' },
        keymaps = {                       -- mappings for incremental selection (visual mappings)
          init_selection = 'gnn',         -- maps in normal mode to init the node/scope selection
          node_incremental = "grn",       -- increment to the upper named parent
          scope_incremental = "grc",      -- increment to the upper scope (as defined in locals.scm)
          node_decremental = "grm",      -- decrement to the previous node
        }
    },
    ensure_installed = 'all' -- one of 'all', 'language', or a list of languages
  }
  EOF

==============================================================================
USER QUERY EXTENSIONS                        *nvim-treesitter-query-extensions*

You can add your own query files by placing a query file in vim's runtime path
after `nvim-treesitter` is sourced.  If the language has a built in query file,
that file will be appended to or it will be used (useful for languages not yet
supported).

For example, you can add files to `<vim-config-dir>/after/queries/lua/highlights.scm`
to add more queries to lua highlights.  You can also manually add query paths
to the runtime path by adding this to your vim config `set rtp+='path/to/queries'`.


==============================================================================
COMMANDS                                          *nvim-treesitter-commands*

UTILS                                               *nvim-treesitter-utils*

Nvim treesitter has some wrapper functions that you can retrieve with:
>
    local ts_utils = require 'nvim-treesitter.ts_utils'
<
Methods

get_node_at_cursor(winnr)                         *ts_utils.get_node_at_cursor*
    winnr will be 0 if nil
    returns the node under the cursor

get_node_text(node, bufnr)                        *ts_utils.get_node_text*
    return the text content of a node

is_parent(dest, source)                           *ts_utils.is_parent*
    determines wether `dest` is a parent of `source` 
    return a boolean

get_named_children(node)                          *ts_utils.get_named_children*
    return a table of named children of `node`

get_next_node(node, allow_switch_parent, allow_next_parent) *ts_utils.get_next_node*
    return the next node within the same parent.
    if no node is found, returns `nil`.
    if `allow_switch_parent` is true, it will allow switching parent
    when the node is the last node
    if `allow_next_parent` is true, it will allow next parent if 
    the node is the last node and the next parent doesn't have children.

get_previous_node(node, allow_switch_parents, allow_prev_parent) *ts_utils.get_previous_node*
    return the previous node within the same parent.
    `allow_switch_parent` and `allow_prev_parent` follow the same rule
    as |ts_utils.get_next_node| but if the node is the first node.

containing_scope(node)                           *ts_utils.containing_scope*
    return the smallest scope containing the node

parent_scope(node, cursor_pos)                   *ts_utils.parent_scope*
    return the parent scope of the current scope that contains the node.
    `cursor_pos` should be `{ row = number, col = number }`

nested_scope(node, cursor_pos)                   *ts_utils.nested_scope*
    return the first scope within current scope that contains the node.
    `cursor_pos` should be `{ row = number, col = number }`

next_scope(node)                                 *ts_utils.next_scope*
    return the neighbour scope of the current node

previous_scope(node)                             *ts_utils.previous_scope*
    return the previous neighbour scope of the current node

==============================================================================
FUNCTIONS                                         *nvim-treesitter-functions*

|nvim_treesitter#statusline(size)|
						*nvim_treesitter#statusline()*

Returns a string describing the current position in the syntax tree. This
could be used as a statusline indicator.
Note: The `size` argument is optionnal. When specified, the string will not be
      longer than `size`.

|nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()|
						  *nvim_treesitter#foldexpr()*

Functions to be used to determine the fold level at a given line number.
To use it: >
  set foldmethod=expr
  set foldexpr=nvim_treesitter#foldexr()
<
Note: This is highly experimental, and folding can break on some types of
      edits. If you encounter such breakage, hiting `zx` should fix folding.
      In any case, feel free to open an issue with the reproducing steps.
