viset init keeps capture files as Lua and generates two files for Lua Language Server: .luarc.json and .viset/viset.d.lua. They provide Viset API completion and diagnostics without changing how a capture runs.

Neovim

Install getviset/viset.nvim with your usual plugin manager. With lazy.nvim:

{ "getviset/viset.nvim" }

No setup call is needed. The plugin requires:

  • Neovim 0.12 or newer
  • Tree-sitter parsers for Lua, TOML, and JavaScript

The plugin highlights TOML in Lua comments containing # viset, including the generated header, and JavaScript in strings passed directly to viset.javascript. On the first Lua buffer containing # viset in a Neovim session, missing required parsers produce one warning that lists them and points to :checkhealth viset; later affected buffers do not repeat the warning in that session.

Run :checkhealth viset to check the Neovim version and availability of every required parser.

Capture files remain trusted Lua programs when Viset runs them. viset.nvim does not execute capture files.
