API

The plugin module exposes the following methods. Each of them spawn rg with the supplied arguments and then populates the quickfix list with the match(es)

rg

rg(pattern: string, flags: listOf[IHSsi], path: string)

Example

require('rg').rg('a pattern', { 'H', 'I' }, '/a/path')

rgui

rgui(path: string?)

Uses vim.ui.* interface to query the flag(s) and the pattern. It can take an optional path as argument.

Useful when combined with a file explorer plugin to search under a specific path.

Example with nvim-tree

In the files'tree window press <C-f> to search in the directory/file under the cursor

-- nvim-tree config

local function on_attach(bufnr)
  -- ...

  vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-f>', function()
    local node = api.tree.get_node_under_cursor()
    require('rg').rgui(node.absolute_path)
  end, opts(''))
end
