📦 Installation

lazy.nvim

{
  "zerochae/endpoint.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    -- Choose one or more pickers (all optional):
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim", -- For telescope picker
    "folke/snacks.nvim",            -- For snacks picker
    "stevearc/dressing.nvim",       -- Enhances vim.ui.select with telescope backend
    -- vim.ui.select picker works without dependencies
  },
  cmd = { "Endpoint", "EndpointRefresh" },
  config = function()
    require("endpoint").setup()
  end,
}

⚙️ Configuration

require("endpoint").setup({
  -- Picker configuration
  picker = {
    type = "vim_ui_select", -- "telescope", "vim_ui_select", "snacks"
    options = {
      telescope = {},     -- Telescope-specific options
      snacks = {},        -- Snacks-specific options
      vim_ui_select = {   -- vim.ui.select-specific options
        enable_filter = false,        -- Enable filtering for large lists
        filter_threshold = 20,        -- Show filter prompt when endpoints > threshold
        filter_prompt = "Filter: ",   -- Custom filter prompt
        show_filter_examples = true,  -- Show filter examples in prompt
      },
    },
    -- Previewer configuration
    previewer = {
      enable_highlighting = true, -- Enable syntax highlighting in previewer (default: true)
    },
  },

  -- Cache configuration
  cache = {
    mode = "session",   -- "none", "session", "persistent"
  },

  -- UI configuration
  ui = {
    show_icons = true,
    show_method = true,
    methods = {
      GET = { icon = "📥", color = "TelescopeResultsNumber" },
      POST = { icon = "📤", color = "TelescopeResultsConstant" },
      PUT = { icon = "✏️", color = "TelescopeResultsKeyword" },
      DELETE = { icon = "🗑️", color = "TelescopeResultsSpecialChar" },
      PATCH = { icon = "🔧", color = "TelescopeResultsFunction" },
      ROUTE = { icon = "🔗", color = "TelescopeResultsIdentifier" },
    },
  },
})

Legacy Configuration (still supported with deprecation warnings):

require("endpoint").setup({
  picker = "telescope",       -- @deprecated: use picker.type
  picker_opts = {             -- @deprecated: use picker.options
    telescope = { theme = "dropdown" },
  },
})

🎯 Picker Options

⚠️ Important: You must set picker.type to match your installed picker!

• Telescope: picker.type = "telescope" - Rich fuzzy search with preview
• vim.ui.select: picker.type = "vim_ui_select" - Native Neovim interface with smart filtering, enhanced by dressing.nvim
• Snacks: picker.type = "snacks" - Modern picker with file preview and line highlighting

-- If you use snacks.nvim
{
  "zerochae/endpoint.nvim",
  dependencies = { "folke/snacks.nvim" },
  config = function()
    require("endpoint").setup({
      picker = { type = "snacks" }
    })
  end,
}

-- If you use telescope.nvim
{
  "zerochae/endpoint.nvim",
  dependencies = { "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim" },
  config = function()
    require("endpoint").setup({
      picker = { type = "telescope" }
    })
  end,
}

-- If you use vim.ui.select with dressing.nvim
{
  "zerochae/endpoint.nvim",
  dependencies = { "stevearc/dressing.nvim" },
  config = function()
    require("endpoint").setup({
      picker = {
        type = "vim_ui_select",
        options = {
          vim_ui_select = {
            enable_filter = true,
            filter_threshold = 20,
            filter_prompt = "Filter endpoints: ",
          }
        }
      }
    })
  end,
}

🔧 Caching

Configure caching behavior for optimal performance:

• "none": Real-time search, always up-to-date (no caching)
• "session" (default): Cache until nvim closes, good performance balance
• "persistent": Disk cache, survives nvim restarts until manual refresh

Cache Storage

Persistent cache files are stored in:

• Location: ~/.cache/nvim/endpoint.nvim/
• Format: Lua files for optimal performance
• Naming:
  • {project}.lua (all endpoints)
  • {project}_GET.lua (GET endpoints only)
  • {project}_POST.lua (POST endpoints only)

Example cache files:

~/.cache/nvim/endpoint.nvim/
├── myproject.lua              # All endpoints
├── myproject_GET.lua          # GET endpoints
└── myproject_POST.lua         # POST endpoints

Use :EndpointRefresh to force refresh (bypass cache).

⚡️ Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.8.0
• ripgrep
• Optional: telescope.nvim or snacks.nvim for enhanced UI
