Overview

Launch a server (Elin Server) that work with hosts(Vim/Neovim in this case). Elin Server connects to nREPL server and returns the processed result to hosts from Elin Server.

Basic Policy

• Implement UI-related processing on host editor side.

  • Vim/Neovim in Vim script.

• Handle interactions with the nREPL server and processing of data received from Vim/Neovim in Clojure (Babashka).

• Implement the Clojure side based on stuartsierra/component.

• Define all settings related to each component explicitly in resources/config.edn.

Directories

components	Various components
constants	Various constants
handler	Implementation of handlers called by the Handler component
interceptor	Implementation of interceptors called by the Interceptor component
protocol	Various protocols
schema	Various schemas
function	Provides concrete functionality using various components. The first argument always receives elin passed to the handler. Essentially, everything is synchronous.

Role of elin core

• Connection management with nREPL

• Management of interactions with the editor (Handler)

• Allow behavior of various operations to be modified (Interceptor)

The core will guarantee only these, and additional functionality will be provided through Handlers and Interceptors.

Plugin

• Purpose

  • Custom interceptors (expansion of existing features)

  • Custom handlers (addition of new features)

Interceptor

• includes, excludes

  • includes take priority

    • Even if something is in excludes, if it is also in includes at the same time, it is enabled.
