First time using cord.nvim

[knevan]

Hello, I am using rich-presence for the first time for neovim, I am confused when configuring for text. Do I just need to copy-paste the default config and change the content of the text? Currently my configuration is like this cord.lua under plugins folder using distro Lazyvim neovim:

return {
    {
        "vyfor/cord.nvim",
        branch = "client-server",
        build = ":Cord update",
        event = "VeryLazy",
        opts = {
            editor = {
                client = "neovim",
                tooltip = "Nice Editor",
                icon = nil,
            },
            display = {
                theme = "pastel",
                swap_fields = false,
                swap_icons = false,
            },
            timestamp = {
                enabled = true,
                reset_on_idle = false,
                reset_on_change = false,
            },
            idle = {
                enabled = true,
                timeout = 600000,
                show_status = true,
                ignore_focus = true,
                unidle_on_focus = true,
                smart_idle = true,
                details = "Away From You",
                state = nil,
                tooltip = "💤",
                icon = nil,
            },
            text = {
                editing = function(opts)
                    return string.format('Editing %s', opts.filename)
                end,
                viewing = 'Viewing a file',                 -- Simple string with filename placeholder
                file_browser = 'Browsing files',            -- Shown in file explorer
                plugin_manager = 'Managing plugins',        -- Shown in plugin manager
                lsp_manager = 'Configuring LSP',            -- Shown in LSP manager
                docs = 'Reading docs',                      -- Shown in help buffers
                vcs = 'Committing changes',                 -- Shown in VCS related filetypes
                notes = 'Taking notes',                     -- Shown in notes-taking related filetypes
                dashboard = 'Home',                         -- Shown in dashboard buffers
                workspace = 'Workspace: ${workspace_name}', -- `variables` must be set in order to use string templates `${}`
            }
        }
    }
}

Stupid question, do I do :Cord fetch after installing the plugin and for icons does it automatically use the theme set at the beginning?

Hey!

Do I just need to copy-paste the default config and change the content of the text?

You only need to change the values you want. Your configuration will be merged with the default config, meaning any fields you don't specify will use their default values. Your setup might look like this:

opts = {
    editor = {
        tooltip = "Nice Editor",
    },
    display = {
        theme = "pastel",
    },
    idle = {
        timeout = 600000,
        details = "Away From You",
    },
    text = {
        editing = function(opts) return "Editing " .. opts.filename end, -- or use a string value like 'Editing a file' if you don't want it to be dynamic
        -- etc ...
    },
}

do I do :Cord fetch after installing the plugin and for icons does it automatically use the theme set at the beginning?

Regarding icons, you don't need to take any action for them to work, they automatically adapt to the theme you've set. As for :Cord fetch, it's not necessary to run it after installing the plugin, Cord will fetch the server for you. Instead, you only need to use :Cord fetch or :Cord update when you update the plugin, as defined by build = ":Cord update".

Yes, I suggest invoking :Cord restart after setting enabled = true (or changing any advanced.server/advanced.discord options).

I think there is something wrong with my config, neovim failed to connect to discord.

[vyfor]

What's the output of this command:

find /tmp /var/run /run -type s -name 'discord-ipc-*' 2>/dev/null

And do you use a custom client?

[knevan]

There is no output, I don't think I've ever used a custom client

[knevan]

I think it's better to continue this on discord, since I just joined.
