[Feature Request] Create API and clear interface to add new mark handlers about nvim-scrollbar HOT 2 CLOSED

I just started to implement a generic register function that adds some abstraction over this boiler plate to eg just register a function that returns marks for a buffer, will probably have a draft pr ready later today.

I'll probably implement showing text marks on top of this while I'm at it and submit it in a separate pr (see #2).

from nvim-scrollbar.

This is a great idea.

Could probably put some of this info into a wiki and, eventually, move this into some kind of org repo with separate plugins/modules for each handler. Will need to add some emmylua annotations to + docs as well

At the moment, it should be pretty simple to add more handlers. Pretty much all marks go into vim.b.scrollbar_marks buffer variable. Each handler should use its own key and match the config.handler key.

E.g.

local my_marks = {
    { line = 1, text = "-", type = "Misc" }
}
local utils = require("scrollbar.utils")
local scrollbar_marks = utils.get_scrollbar_marks(bufnr)
scrollbar_marks.my_marks = my_marks
utils.set_scrollbar_marks(bufnr, scrollbar_marks)
require("scrollbar").render()
