## Installation

### [lazy.nvim]https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim

Create a new file `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/linthis.lua`:

**Option 1: Install from GitHub**

```lua
-- ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/linthis.lua
return {
  "zhlinh/linthis",
  event = { "BufReadPre", "BufNewFile" },
  config = function(plugin)
    -- Add nvim-linthis subdirectory to runtimepath
    vim.opt.rtp:append(plugin.dir .. "/nvim-linthis")
    require("linthis").setup({
      format_on_save = false,
      lint_on_save = true,
    })
  end,
}
```

**Option 2: Local development (use local path)**

```lua
-- ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/linthis.lua
return {
  dir = "~/path/to/linthis/nvim-linthis",
  config = function()
    require("linthis").setup({
      format_on_save = false,
      lint_on_save = true,
    })
  end,
}
```

> **Note**: The plugin is in the `nvim-linthis` subdirectory of the main linthis repo.

### [packer.nvim]https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim

```lua
use {
  "zhlinh/linthis",
  rtp = "nvim-linthis",
  config = function()
    require("linthis").setup({
      format_on_save = false,
      lint_on_save = true,
    })
  end,
}
```

### [vim-plug]https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

Add to your `~/.config/nvim/init.vim` or `~/.vimrc`:

```vim
Plug 'zhlinh/linthis', { 'rtp': 'nvim-linthis' }
```

Then in your Lua config:

```lua
require("linthis").setup({
  format_on_save = false,
  lint_on_save = true,
})
```

### Manual

Clone to your Neovim packages directory:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/zhlinh/linthis \
  ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/plugins/start/linthis
```

Then add to your Neovim config:

```lua
-- Add the subdirectory to runtimepath
vim.opt.rtp:append(vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/site/pack/plugins/start/linthis/nvim-linthis")

require("linthis").setup()
```

## Configuration

```lua
require("linthis").setup({
  -- Path to linthis executable
  cmd = { "linthis", "lsp" },

  -- Filetypes to attach to
  filetypes = {
    "rust", "python", "typescript", "javascript",
    "typescriptreact", "javascriptreact", "go", "java",
    "c", "cpp", "objc", "swift", "kotlin", "lua",
    "dart", "sh", "bash", "zsh", "ruby", "php", "scala", "cs",
  },

  -- Root directory patterns
  root_markers = {
    ".linthis.toml", ".git", "Cargo.toml",
    "pyproject.toml", "package.json", "go.mod",
    "pom.xml", "build.gradle", "Makefile",
  },

  -- Auto-start LSP when opening supported files
  autostart = true,

  -- Format on save
  format_on_save = false,

  -- Lint on save
  lint_on_save = true,

  -- Show notifications
  notifications = true,

  -- Log level: "debug", "info", "warn", "error"
  log_level = "warn",

  -- Use specific plugin(s) directly, bypassing config files
  -- Formats:
  --   "https://github.com/org/plugin.git"
  --   "https://github.com/org/plugin.git@v1.0"
  --   "/path/to/local/plugin"
  --   "plugin1,plugin2" (comma-separated for multiple plugins)
  use_plugin = "",
})
```

## Using Plugins

The `use_plugin` option allows you to specify linthis plugin(s) directly, bypassing the default config file discovery. This is useful when you want to use a specific set of lint rules across projects.

### Plugin URL

```lua
require("linthis").setup({
  use_plugin = "https://github.com/zhlinh/linthis-plugin-template",
})
```

### Plugin with Version Tag

```lua
require("linthis").setup({
  use_plugin = "https://github.com/org/plugin.git@v1.0",
})
```

### Local Plugin Path

```lua
require("linthis").setup({
  use_plugin = "/path/to/local/plugin",
})
```

### Multiple Plugins

Use comma-separated values for multiple plugins:

```lua
require("linthis").setup({
  use_plugin = "plugin1,plugin2",
})
```

Run `:LinthisInfo` to verify your current `use_plugin` configuration.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `:LinthisFormat` | Format current buffer |
| `:LinthisLint` | Lint current buffer |
| `:LinthisRestart` | Restart LSP server |
| `:LinthisInfo` | Show LSP info |

## Lua API

```lua
local linthis = require("linthis")

-- Format current buffer
linthis.format()

-- Format with options
linthis.format({
  bufnr = 0,        -- buffer number
  async = false,    -- async formatting
  timeout_ms = 5000,
  silent = true,    -- suppress notifications
})

-- Lint current buffer
linthis.lint()

-- Restart LSP
linthis.restart()

-- Show info
linthis.info()
```

## Keymaps

Example keymaps (add to your config):

```lua
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>lf", "<cmd>LinthisFormat<cr>", { desc = "Format with linthis" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>ll", "<cmd>LinthisLint<cr>", { desc = "Lint with linthis" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>lr", "<cmd>LinthisRestart<cr>", { desc = "Restart linthis LSP" })
```
