🔀 Syntaxe commune

astuce

Il est recommandé de se familiariser avec getting_started/oveview avant cela.

La syntaxe make

zi ice as"program" pick"$ZPFX/bin/git-*" make"PREFIX=$ZPFX"zi light tj/git-extras

Le fichier Makefile du projet ci-dessus ne comporte que 2 tâches:

  1. Installez la cible.
  2. Les scripts de construction qui sont nécessaires à l'installation.

Le Makefile avec 2 tâches, peut utiliser :

  1. make"all install PREFIX=…",
  2. pick'…' va chmod +x tous les fichiers correspondants et ajouter $ZPFX/bin/ à $PATH.
info

$ZPFX est fournie par ZI, elle est définie par défaut sur ~/.zi/polaris . Cependant, il peut être modifié en spécifiant : $ZPFX= cible.

Compilation de programmes

zi ice as"program" atclone"rm -f src/auto/config.cache; ./configure" \  atpull"%atclone" make pick"src/vim"zi light vim/vim
SyntaxeDescription
as'program'Ajouter le fichier sélectionné par pick'…' à $PATH, et ne pas le sourcer.
atclone'…'Exécuter le code après le téléchargement.
atpull'%atclone'Exécutez le même code atclone'…' est donné, mais après une mise à jour réussie.
makeExécutez make après atclone'…' et atpull'…' (remarque : make'!' s'exécutera avant eux).
pick'src/vim'Activez le drapeau exécutable sur src/vim, et indiquez que src/ doit être ajouté à $PATH.

La même chose mais avec installation (make install) sous $ZPFX par défaut :

zi ice as'program' atclone'rm -f src/auto/config.cache; \  ./configure --prefix=$ZPFX' atpull'%atclone' make'all install' pick'$ZPFX/bin/vim'zi light vim/vim
SyntaxeDescription
as'program'Comme ci-dessus.
atclone'…'Comme ci-dessus plus passer --prefix=$ZPFX à ./configure, pour définir le répertoire d'installation.
atpull'%atclone'Comme ci-dessus.
makeComme ci-dessus, mais exécutez également la cible install .
pick'src/vim'as above, but for different path $ZPFX/bin/vim.

LS_COLORS

A repository trapd00r/LS_COLORS provides a file with color definitions for GNU ls command, and also for ogham/exa. Typically one does eval $( dircolors -b $HOME/LS_COLORS) to process this file and set the environment for ls. This means dircolors is run every shell startup. This costs much time because a fork has to be done and the program, i.e. dircolors, binary needs to be loaded and executed, and because dircolors loads the colors' definitions and processes them. Following ZI invocation solves this problem:

zi ice atclone'dircolors -b LS_COLORS > clrs.zsh' \  atpull'%atclone' pick"clrs.zsh" nocompile'!' \  atload'zstyle ":completion:*" list-colors “${(s.:.)LS_COLORS}”'zi light trapd00r/LS_COLORS
SyntaxeDescription
atclone'…'Generate shell script, but instead of passing it to eval. More: 1
atpull'%atclone'Do the same at any update of the plugin. More: 2
pick"clrs.zsh"Source the previously generated file clrs zsh.
nocompile'!'Invokes compilation after the atclone'…' ice-modifier and the exclamation mark causes this.
atload'…'Additionally sets up the Zsh completion to use the colors provided by the trapd00r package.

This way, except for the plugin installation and update, dircolors isn't ran, just normal sourcing is done. The everyday sourced file, i.e. clrs.zsh, is being compiled to speed up the loading.

Direnv

The project direnv/direnv registers itself in Z shell to modify the environment on directory change. This registration is most often done by eval "$(direnv hook zsh)" added to .zshrc.

zi ice as"program" make'!' atclone'./direnv hook zsh > zhook.zsh' \  atpull'%atclone' src"zhook.zsh"zi light direnv/direnv
  • make'!' – execute make before atclone'…' and before atpull'…' (see make above),
  • src'zhook.zsh' – source file zhook.zsh.

In general, direnv works by hooking up to Zsh. The code that does this is provided by program direnv (built by make'…').

Above atclone'…' puts this code into file zhook.zsh, src'' sources it. This way direnv hook zsh is executed only on clone and update, and Zsh starts faster.

Coup d'œil sur la syntaxe 'for'

L'inconvénient de cette procédure standard est que le binaire direnv est exécuté à chaque démarrage du shell et le ralentit considérablement. ZI permet de résoudre ce problème de la manière suivante :

zi as"program" make'!' atclone'./direnv hook zsh > zhook.zsh' \  atpull'%atclone' pick"direnv" src"zhook.zsh" for \    direnv/direnv
SyntaxeDescription
make'!'Compilez direnv, le point d'exclamation signifie : exécutez d'abord le make , avant les hooks atclone'…' et atpull'…' .
atclone'…'Dès que le plugin est installé, générez le code d'enregistrement et sauvegardez-le dans zhook.zsh, au lieu de le transmettre à eval.
atpull'%atclone'Le atclone'…' s'exécute sur installation et atpull'…' s'exécute à la mise à jour du plugin.
src'zhook.zsh'Charger le code d'enregistrement généré
pick'direnv'Assurez-vous que la permission +x est autorisée sur le binaire
as'program'The plugin is a program, there's no main file to the source.

This way registration code is generated once every installation and update, to then be simply sourced without running direnv. The project is also available as a binary GitHub releases. This distribution can be installed by:

zi from"gh-r" as"program" mv"direnv* -> direnv" \  atclone'./direnv hook zsh > zhook.zsh' atpull'%atclone' \  pick"direnv" src="zhook.zsh" for \    direnv/direnv
SyntaxeDescription
from'gh-r'Install from direnv from GitHub releases.
mv'direnv* -> direnv'After installation, rename direnv.linux-386 or similar file to direnv.
atclone'…', atpull'…'As in above example.
pick'direnv'As in above example.
as'program'As in above example.

Standart syntax

zi …zi ice …zi load …zi light …zi unload …zi snippet …

The normal way of specifying ices and their values:

zi wait"1" from"gh-r" atload"print Hello World"zi load …
remarque

There's no ice subcommand - that is currently being fully allowed.

The alternative syntaxes

However, ZI supports also other syntaxes: the equal (=) syntax:

zi wait=1 from=gh-r atload="print Hello World"
zi load …

The colon (:) syntax:

zi wait:1 from:gh-r atload:"print Hello World"zi load …

And also – in conjunction with all of the above – the GNU syntax:

zi --wait=1 --from=gh-r --atload="print Hello World"zi load …

Récapitulatif

It's up to the user which syntax to choose.

The original motivation behind the standard syntax was: to utilize the syntax highlighting of editors like Vim – and have the strings following ice names colorized with a distinct color and this way separated from them. However, with the zi/zi-vim-syntax syntax definition this motivation can be superseded with the ZI-specific highlighting, at least for Vim.


  1. The %atclone is just a special string that denotes the atclone'…' hook and is copied onto the atpull'…' hook.
  2. Save it to file. The atclone'…' is being ran on the installation while the atpull'…' hook is being run on an update of the trapd00r/LS_COLORS plugin.
