This plugins aims at making syntax highlighting in neovim better.
It uses neovim's treesitter api to provide color definition for languages that have available parsers.
The main goal is to provide a solid example on how to use this library.
It can be used by those who need better syntax coloring in their neovim environment.

• Requires neovim v0.5
• Is usable in the current state only to test and experiment
• Only js filetypes are supported ATM
• The plugin is under heavy development, it might change a lot or break things.
• Even though its only to experiment while the neovim team is working on a better api, i still wish people to see what can be done with the treesitter API

With plug: Plug 'kyazdani42/highlight.lua'

You can install parsers running :InstallTSParser LANGUAGE. Only javascript is available at the moment.
The command does not work on windows and might not work on every OS. It depends on git and gcc.

• refactor using query based highlight (.scm files are ready)
• option / command to disable the plugin (provide detach function)
• should provide a better default colorscheme in case neovim terminal colors are not set
• option to disable some languages
• better filetype handling
• provide docs

• highlighting should not block the UI on large files.
• updating the buffer should not update the whole file
