chat-gpt.nvim

This repo contains a Neovim Lua plugin to make requests to ChatGPT and output the answer inside the buffer. Although this plugin works, it's a WIP which I'm using as a learning playground for Neovim/Lua. For a more robust plugin, see jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim.

Usage

To make requests via the ChatGPT API, you'll need to get an API KEY and export it to the OPENAI_API_KEY env var.

# This can also be set in your shell's config
export OPENAI_API_KEY = <YOUR API KEY HERE>

Then use a plugin manager (e.g like lazy.nvim) to install the plugin:

return {
  {
    "lvauthrin/chatgpt.nvim",
    lazy = false,
    config = function(_, _)
      require("chatgpt").setup({ api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") })
    end,
  },
}

Make a request based on the current line

Move the cursor to the line that has the promp and type :ChatGPT. This will send the prompt to ChatGPT and output the answer on the next line in the current buffer.
Note: The call is synchronous and blocks everything until it's done.

Make a request by passing in an argument

Type in :ChatGPT followed by your prompt. For example: :ChatGPT Show me the code for splitting a string into an array in lua. Again, this will output the answer on the next line in the current buffer.

TODO:

• Allow the user to see all the responses from the request (currently only the first is shown)
• Figure out whether prompt should go inside comments or outside of comments
• Use markers to mark the prompt response location
• Fix test for adding the main command
