Bindings to Vim objects, bindings to Vim channel commands, and a way to interact with Vim using Rust.

Aims to be able to eventually write standard plugins in Rust, and potentially services for Vim in Rust using channels.

Installation

Add this line to your dependencies section of your Cargo.toml file.

vii = "0.0.1"

Current interface is highly unstable.

Usage

Working with Vim data types.

use vii::types::DataType;

// Using a Vim data type
let vim_float = DataType::Float(3.14);
// Serializing for transmission to Vim
let serialized_float = vim_float.to_string();  // "3.14"

let vim_string = DataType::String("Hello World!".to_string());
let serialized_string = vim_string.to_string();  // "\"Hello World!\""
