🍿 bigfile

bigfile adds a new filetype bigfile to Neovim that triggers when the file is larger than the configured size. This automatically prevents things like LSP and Treesitter attaching to the buffer.

Use the setup config function to further make changes to a bigfile buffer. The context provides the actual filetype.

The default implementation enables syntax for the buffer and disables mini.animate (if used)

📦 Setup

lua

-- lazy.nvim
{
  "folke/snacks.nvim",
  ---@type snacks.Config
  opts = {
    bigfile = {
      -- your bigfile configuration comes here
      -- or leave it empty to use the default settings
      -- refer to the configuration section below
    }
  }
}

⚙️ Config

lua

---@class snacks.bigfile.Config
---@field enabled? boolean
{
  notify = true, -- show notification when big file detected
  size = 1.5 * 1024 * 1024, -- 1.5MB
  line_length = 1000, -- average line length (useful for minified files)
  -- Enable or disable features when big file detected
  ---@param ctx {buf: number, ft:string}
  setup = function(ctx)
    if vim.fn.exists(":NoMatchParen") ~= 0 then
      vim.cmd([[NoMatchParen]])
    end
    Snacks.util.wo(0, { foldmethod = "manual", statuscolumn = "", conceallevel = 0 })
    vim.b.completion = false
    vim.b.minianimate_disable = true
    vim.b.minihipatterns_disable = true
    vim.schedule(function()
      if vim.api.nvim_buf_is_valid(ctx.buf) then
        vim.bo[ctx.buf].syntax = ctx.ft
      end
    end)
  end,
}
