# NuiText
NuiText is an abstraction layer on top of the following native functions:
- `vim.api.nvim_buf_set_text` (check `:h nvim_buf_set_text()`)
- `vim.api.nvim_buf_set_extmark` (check `:h nvim_buf_set_extmark()`)
It helps you set text and add highlight for it on the buffer.
_Signature:_ `NuiText(content, extmark?)`
**Examples**
```lua
local NuiText = require("nui.text")
local text = NuiText("Something Went Wrong!", "Error")
local bufnr, ns_id, linenr_start, byte_start = 0, -1, 1, 0
text:render(bufnr, ns_id, linenr_start, byte_start)
```
## Parameters
### `content`
**Type:** `string` or `table`
Text content or `NuiText` object.
If `NuiText` object is passed, a copy of it is created.
### `extmark`
**Type:** `string` or `table`
Highlight group name or extmark options.
If a `string` is passed, it is used as the highlight group name.
If a `table` is passed it is used as extmark data. It can have the
following keys:
| Key | Description |
| ------------ | -------------------- |
| `"hl_group"` | highlight group name |
For more, check `:help nvim_buf_set_extmark()`.
## Methods
### `text:set`
_Signature:_ `text:set(content, extmark?)`
Sets the text content and highlight information.
**Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
| --------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `content` | `string` | text content |
| `extmark` | `string` or `table` | highlight group name or extmark options |
This `extmark` parameter is exactly the same as `NuiText`'s `extmark` parameter.
### `text:content`
_Signature:_ `text:content()`
Returns the text content.
### `text:length`
_Signature:_ `text:length()`
Returns the byte length of the text.
### `text:width`
_Signature:_ `text:width()`
Returns the character length of the text.
### `text:highlight`
_Signature:_ `text:highlight(bufnr, ns_id, linenr, byte_start)`
Applies highlight for the text.
**Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
| ------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `bufnr` | `number` | buffer number |
| `ns_id` | `number` | namespace id (use `-1` for fallback namespace) |
| `linenr` | `number` | line number (1-indexed) |
| `byte_start` | `number` | start position of the text on the line (0-indexed) |
### `text:render`
_Signature:_ `text:render(bufnr, ns_id, linenr_start, byte_start, linenr_end?, byte_end?)`
Sets the text on buffer and applies highlight.
**Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
| -------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `bufnr` | `number` | buffer number |
| `ns_id` | `number` | namespace id (use `-1` for fallback namespace) |
| `linenr_start` | `number` | start line number (1-indexed) |
| `byte_start` | `number` | start position of the text on the line (0-indexed) |
| `linenr_end` | `number` | end line number (1-indexed) |
| `byte_end` | `number` | end position of the text on the line (0-indexed) |
### `text:render_char`
_Signature:_ `text:render_char(bufnr, ns_id, linenr_start, char_start, linenr_end?, char_end?)`
Sets the text on buffer and applies highlight.
This does the thing as `text:render` method, but you can use character count
instead of byte count. It will convert multibyte character count to appropriate
byte count for you.
**Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
| -------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `bufnr` | `number` | buffer number |
| `ns_id` | `number` | namespace id (use `-1` for fallback namespace) |
| `linenr_start` | `number` | start line number (1-indexed) |
| `char_start` | `number` | start position of the text on the line (0-indexed) |
| `linenr_end` | `number` | end line number (1-indexed) |
| `char_end` | `number` | end position of the text on the line (0-indexed) |
