cmp-buffer VS dotfiles

sources = cmp.config.sources({ { name = "nvim_lsp", priority = 1, group_index = 1 }, { name = "luasnip" }, { group_index = 2, name = "buffer", priority = 5, option = { -- https://github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-buffer get_bufnrs = function() return vim.api.nvim_list_bufs() end, }, }, { name = "nvim_lsp_signature_help" }, { name = "path" }, }),

cmp-buffer: Completion source. It provides suggestions based on the current file.

Then what is the purpose of using cmp-buffer?

Okay I sat down and did exactly what I said in my previous comment. Essentially it's a complete rewrite of my old code that makes things much more generic and flexible. You can take a look at the PR here: https://github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-buffer/pull/60.

Good work but can you tell how is it different from https://github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-buffer

hrsh7th/cmp-buffer - nvim-cmp source for buffer words

cmp-buffer

nvim-cmp is just the autocompletion engine w/ fuzzy matching and other filtering options. To get items to be filled from cmp you will need sources, for example: hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp plugin will provide items from a LSP server to cmp, so you can get items you can fuzzy match in. Another one is items from buffers: hrsh7th/cmp-buffer

I installed nvim-cmp with the LuaSnip , LSPConfig and nvim-lsp-installer to get this. Now, if you only installed nvim-cmp without snippers, buffers and cmdline, i don't know what to do. See the repository of nvim-cmp and install what is needed to work and if you're still in doubt, check my dotfile (https://github.com/victor4pinheiro/dotfiles/blob/main/init.lua)

When I migrate to Neovim with Lua, I used this two: https://github.com/nanotee/nvim-lua-guide and https://oroques.dev/notes/neovim-init/. They helped me too much and if you want a example of dotfiles, see my github (https://github.com/victor4pinheiro/dotfiles) and search for Neovim section on dotfiles.
