nvim-ts-rainbow VS nvim-ts-rainbow2

for the past few days I have been working on a fork to the nvim-ts-rainbow plugin: nvim-ts-rainbow2. I am pretty much done, except for one small issue: finding out the level of a node relative to other container nodes. I know how to determine the level of a node in the tree (just keep counting up from 1 while going through the parents until I hit the root), but that is not what I need.

I noticed that it was abandoned when I was about to update my PR. The PR as it is up there is a mess, so I went through a major refactor and subsequently lost everything like an idiot.

The "look" you're looking for is given by a bunch of plugins: - OneDark.nvim as colorscheme - TS Rainbow for rainbow brackets - BarBar for bufferline - Nvim Devicons and NerdFonts to view file icons - NvimTree as a file manager - Indent Blankline to show indentation guides - CompetiTest with vertical split UI - Feline as statusline plugin. In the screenshot feline is configured with a custom theme. As you can see statusline is different for CompetiTest buffers: a different statusline can be configured for every different filetype using conditional_config.

For highlightning parentheses you could check out nvim-ts-rainbow

Consider using nvim-ts-rainbow to get rainbow parentheses.

To get changed colors for nested brackets, use nvim-ts-rainbow. I think the rest of the comments have you covered on getting colors up to snuff for you. To me it just looks like mismatched colors, not that anything is wrong

I'm happy to say I have fixed [the bug in nvim-ts-rainbow] that caused all JSX props to be highlighted](https://github.com/p00f/nvim-ts-rainbow/issues/118) in extended_mode instead of just highlighting the tag names. It was bugging me for a while when working on React components. Now, only the tag names and angle brackets in JSX elements are highlighted.

Lsp support is pretty good with Neovim, but obviously depends on what Lisp you use. I also like ts-rainbow a lot, but that's literally just visual fluff for brackets

You should continue with the fork nvim-ts-rainbow2 instead. But I also have the same problem. The colors are not updated instantaneously and sometimes pairs are mismatched. But most of the time formatting the file works fine. Other times simple :e solves it certainly.

If you are afraid of missing something, then I recommend you to put all public symbols in one file. For example, in nvim-ts-rainbow2 the file lua/ts-rainbow re-exports symbols from private modules for public use. Whenever I add a new symbol to the table I know I have to document it.

I was using a recent fork of it from 'mrjones2014'. Now I tried https://gitlab.com/HiPhish/nvim-ts-rainbow2 too, still the same issue random order in different files. So weird :(

Do you have any concrete plans on what you want to change? I have created a fork as well, but one which intends to overhaul the code quite a bit. See the TODO file for an overview (some of it is already implemented).

I have now forked to incorporate my ideas. The key idea is to abstract away the concept of a "strategy", which is to say how to perform the highlighting. The default strategy for now is the global highlight in which the entire buffer is lit up like a Christmas tree. The next strategy will be like in the PR above to highlight only the current sub-tree that contains the cursor (see video in linked issue).
