1. Install using your favourite package manager:

   Note: You'll need to use colorbuddy's dev branch for now, but that'll change to master in time...

   Using packer.nvim:

   use {
     "jesseleite/nvim-noirbuddy",
     requires = { "tjdevries/colorbuddy.nvim", branch = "dev" }
   }

   Using vim-plug:

   Plug 'tjdevries/colorbuddy.nvim', { 'branch': 'dev' }
   Plug 'jesseleite/nvim-noirbuddy'

2. Enable the colorscheme in your lua config:

   require("noirbuddy").setup()

3. Order pizza! 🍕 🤘 😎

The default minimal preset consists of a monochromatic grayscale palette with one sexy primary color.

You can select from one of the bundled presets like so:

require('noirbuddy').setup {
  preset = 'miami-nights',
}

You can configure a custom primary color like so:

require('noirbuddy').setup {
  colors = {
    primary = '#6EE2FF',
  },
}

For a more duotone look, you can configure a secondary color:

require('noirbuddy').setup {
  colors = {
    primary = '#6EE2FF',
    secondary = '#267FB5',
  },
}

You can also customize the background color:

require('noirbuddy').setup {
  colors = {
    background = '#18181A',
  },
}

Or even the base grayscale palette:

require("noirbuddy").setup {
  colors = {
    noir_0 = '#ffffff', -- `noir_0` is light for dark themes, and dark for light themes
    noir_1 = '#f5f5f5',
    noir_2 = '#d5d5d5',
    noir_3 = '#b4b4b4',
    noir_4 = '#a7a7a7',
    noir_5 = '#949494',
    noir_6 = '#737373',
    noir_7 = '#535353',
    noir_8 = '#323232',
    noir_9 = '#212121', -- `noir_9` is dark for dark themes, and light for light themes
  },
}

You may wish to configure specific colors for things that have semantic meaning (ie. red for errors, orange for warnings, etc.), in a way that won't change as you switch between presets:

require("noirbuddy").setup {
  colors = {
    diagnostic_error = '#EC0034',
    diagnostic_warning = '#ff7700',
    diagnostic_info = '#d5d5d5',
    diagnostic_hint = '#f5f5f5',
    diff_add = '#f5f5f5',
    diff_change = '#737373',
    diff_delete = '#EC0034',
  },
}

Some highlight groups (ie. inline diagnostics) are set up so that you can opt-in to certain font styles (though which styles completely depends on the highlight group, and these are all disabled by default):

require("noirbuddy").setup {
  styles = {
    italic = true,
    bold = false,
    underline = false,
    undercurl = true,
  },
}

If you want more granular control over font styles, check out the customizing highlight grups section.

Noirbuddy automatically themes several plugins out of the box (ie. telescope.nvim, vim-fugitive, harpoon, etc.), but also allows for customizing highlight groups and exporting colors so that you can have full control over every aspect when it comes to theming third party plugins.

Though most are automatic, certain plugins may require you to opt-in...

• Lualine.nvim

  local noirbuddy_lualine = require('noirbuddy.plugins.lualine')
  
  require('lualine').setup {
    options = {
      theme = noirbuddy_lualine.theme,
      -- ...
    },
    sections = noirbuddy_lualine.sections,
    inactive_sections = noirbuddy_lualine.inactive_sections,
    -- ...
  }

If you use a plugin that you think should be included in this repo, PR's are welcome 🤘

Since Noirbuddy is built on colorbuddy.nvim, you can use its API to customize specific highlight groups as needed:

-- Require colorbuddy...
local Color, colors, Group, groups, styles = require('colorbuddy').setup {}

-- Override specific highlight groups...
Group.new('TelescopeTitle', colors.primary)
Group.new('TelescopeBorder', colors.secondary)
Group.new('CursorLineNr', colors.primary, colors.noir_9)
Group.new('Searchlight', nil, colors.secondary)
Group.new('@comment', colors.noir_7)
Group.new('@punctuation', colors.noir_2)

-- Add font styles to highlight groups...
Group.new('@constant', colors.noir_2, nil, styles.bold)
Group.new('@method', colors.noir_0, nil, styles.bold + styles.italic)

-- Link highlight groups...
Group.link('SignifySignAdd', groups.DiffAdd)
Group.link('SignifySignChange', groups.DiffChange)
Group.link('SignifySignDelete', groups.DiffDelete)

-- etc.

If you need access to Noirbuddy's raw color codes for other plugin configs:

-- Export noirbuddy colors...
local noirbuddy = require('noirbuddy.colors').all()

-- Outputs a simple lua table...
-- {
--   primary = "#e4609b",
--   secondary = "#47bac0",
--   background = "#18181a",
--   noir_0 = "#ffffff",
--   noir_1 = "#f5f5f5",
--   noir_2 = "#d5d5d5",
--   -- etc.
-- }

You can run :lua print(vim.inspect(require('noirbuddy.colors').all())) to see a full list of what is exported.
