	Automatically save your changes in NeoVim
</p>

&nbsp;

### 📢 Disclaimer: Breaking Change

This plugin has been renamed from `AutoSave` to `auto-save`, and this repository has accordingly moved from `pocco81/AutoSave.nvim` to `pocco81/auto-save.nvim`. To prevent errors with your configuration, make sure to update both the name and the repository url in your config!

&nbsp;

### 📋 Features

- automatically save your changes so the world doesn't collapse
- highly customizable:
	- conditionals to assert whether to save or not
	- execution message (it can be dimmed and personalized)
	- events that trigger auto-save
- debounce the save with a delay
- multiple callbacks
- automatically clean the message area

&nbsp;

### 📚 Requirements

-   Neovim >= 0.5.0

&nbsp;

### 📦 Installation

Install the plugin with your favourite package manager:

<details>
	<summary><a href="https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim">Packer.nvim</a></summary>

```lua
use({
	"Pocco81/auto-save.nvim",
	config = function()
		 require("auto-save").setup {
			-- your config goes here
			-- or just leave it empty :)
		 }
	end,
})
```

</details>

```vim
Plug 'Pocco81/auto-save.nvim'
lua << EOF
	require("auto-save").setup {
		-- your config goes here
		-- or just leave it empty :)
	}
EOF
```

</details>

&nbsp;

### ⚙️ Configuration

**auto-save** comes with the following defaults:

```lua
{
    enabled = true, -- start auto-save when the plugin is loaded (i.e. when your package manager loads it)
    execution_message = {
		message = function() -- message to print on save
			return ("AutoSave: saved at " .. vim.fn.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
		end,
		dim = 0.18, -- dim the color of `message`
		cleaning_interval = 1250, -- (milliseconds) automatically clean MsgArea after displaying `message`. See :h MsgArea
	},
    trigger_events = {"InsertLeave", "TextChanged"}, -- vim events that trigger auto-save. See :h events
	-- function that determines whether to save the current buffer or not
	-- return true: if buffer is ok to be saved
	-- return false: if it's not ok to be saved
	condition = function(buf)
		local fn = vim.fn
		local utils = require("auto-save.utils.data")

if
			fn.getbufvar(buf, "&modifiable") == 1 and
			utils.not_in(fn.getbufvar(buf, "&filetype"), {}) then
			return true -- met condition(s), can save
		end
		return false -- can't save
	end,
    write_all_buffers = false, -- write all buffers when the current one meets `condition`
    debounce_delay = 135, -- saves the file at most every `debounce_delay` milliseconds
	callbacks = { -- functions to be executed at different intervals
		enabling = nil, -- ran when enabling auto-save
		disabling = nil, -- ran when disabling auto-save
		before_asserting_save = nil, -- ran before checking `condition`
		before_saving = nil, -- ran before doing the actual save
		after_saving = nil -- ran after doing the actual save
	}
}
```

Additionally you may want to set up a key mapping to toggle auto-save:

```lua
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>n", ":ASToggle<CR>", {})
```

&nbsp;

### 🪴 Usage

Besides running auto-save at startup (if you have `enabled = true` in your config), you may as well:

- `ASToggle`: toggle auto-save
