indent-rainbowline.nvim

This plugin provides a way to generate indent-blankline.nvim configurations with rainbow indents, akin to the the indent-rainbow Visual Studio Code extension.

Installation

Unlike most Neovim plugins, this plugin just provides configuration for another plugin, and can't be initialized on its own. Instead, it must be listed as a dependency for indent-blankline and used when configuring it.

Lazy.nvim

{
	"lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim",
	main = "ibl",
	opts = function(_, opts)
		-- Other blankline configuration here
		return require("indent-rainbowline").make_opts(opts)
	end,
	dependencies = {
		"TheGLander/indent-rainbowline.nvim",
	},
}

Packer.nvim

(This configuration has not been tested. Please submit an issue if it doesn't work)

use {
	"lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim",
	config = function()
		opts = {}
		-- Other blankline configuration here
		require("ibl").setup(require("indent-rainbowline").make_opts(opts))
	end,
	requires = {
		"TheGLander/indent-rainbowline.nvim",
	},
}

Customization

To customize how the rainbow indentation looks, pass a second argument to make_opts when creating indent-blankline options.

return require("indent-rainbowline").make_opts(opts, {
	-- How transparent should the rainbow colors be. 1 is completely opaque, 0 is invisible. 0.07 by default
	color_transparency = 0.15,
	-- The 24-bit colors to mix with the background. Specified in hex.
	-- { 0xffff40, 0x79ff79, 0xff79ff, 0x4fecec, } by default
	colors = { 0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, },
})
