cmp-csv

This plugin will add completion for the values of an arbitrary column of a csv-file.

Installation (Lazy.nvim)

{
'PhilippFeO/cmp-csv',
opts= {
-- see below
}
}

Default configuration

There are currently two options, one, csv_path, is mandatory.

require('cmp-csv').setup({
documentation_format='',
csv_path='' -- No csv, no party 😞filetype='',
completion_column=1,
skip_rows=0
})

• documentation_format: Lua format string, should contain three %s. No checks are performed, example: %s (Col 1)\n%s (Col 2)\n%s (Col 3).
• csv_path: Path to the csv-file to generated sources for nvim-cmp. Without a csv-file no sources can be established and setup() will fail. No consistency checks for the csv are performed¹.
• filetype: In which buffers we wish to have the completion.
• completion_column: Which column of your CSV is used for syntax completion. If it exceeds the number of values in one row, an error is thrown.
• skip_rows: First rows to skip in case there are header information. An error is thrown if skip_rows exceeds the line number of csv_path.

Enabling within nvim-cmp

require("cmp").setup({
sources= {
{ name="cmp_csv" }, -- '_' not '-' 😯
}
})

Footnotes

1. Currently, no space(s) around the , are skipped, ie. John ,... will capture John (there is a whitespace after John). ↩
