[Feature request] custom truncated the long components about feline.nvim HOT 11 CLOSED

I use the following function in my config for custom providers to help me truncate or disable them.

-- Returns true if 1/2 window width is greater than cols
local has_width_gt = function(cols, winid)
  winid = winid or 0
  return vim.api.nvim_win_get_width(winid) / 2 > cols
end

But at the same time it seems to be a good feature to add. Others' opinions on this would be appreciated

I agree that this feature seems good to add but it can introduce a decent amount of complexity to the code, like caching might. However, there is probably an elegant solution that another statusline plugin implements.

@famiu I understand if you don't want to add this functionality to feline. Do you have any advice on how I could add truncation my own providers? Perhaps the README could mention a simple example of how one could do accomplish that?

I'll try to work on adding docs for that soon

I mean, it's easy to just implement truncation in the provider function itself, right?

I'm not sure if it'll be worth implementing a functionality like this. Feline is supposed to be minimal and expects most advanced things such as truncation to be done by the user since there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to things like this. But at the same time it seems to be a good feature to add. Others' opinions on this would be appreciated

Mhm, and it also goes against Feline's design goal of minimalism and avoiding adding too many features.

However, there is probably an elegant solution that another statusline plugin implements.

Unless it's something very simple like a 2-3 line solution, I wouldn't be in favor of adding it personally.

Closing this issue as I don't intend to work on it. If someone can implement it in a very simple manner that doesn't pollute the pre-existing code, they can make a PR, but I can't guarantee it being accepted in that case either.

I've changed my mind regarding this. I think a very simple form of truncation can be added. I'll begin work on it soon

@MaiLunJiye can you please check if #65 does what you ask for

from feline.nvim.

I've decided that at the end, truncation is something that should be implemented by the user after all. So I'm going to close this issue.

So, what kind of truncation do you want? @Melkster
