Treesitter integration                                 *treesitter*

Nvim integrates the `tree-sitter` library for incremental parsing of buffers:
https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/

WARNING: Treesitter support is still experimental and subject to frequent
changes. This documentation may also not fully reflect the latest changes.

PARSER FILES                                              *treesitter-parsers*

Parsers are the heart of treesitter. They are libraries that treesitter will
search for in the `parser` runtime directory.

Nvim includes these parsers:

- C
- Lua
- Markdown
- Vimscript
- Vimdoc
- Treesitter query files |ft-query-plugin|

You can install more parsers manually, or with a plugin like
https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter .

Parsers are searched for as `parser/{lang}.*` in any 'runtimepath' directory.
If multiple parsers for the same language are found, the first one is used.
(NOTE: This typically implies the priority "user config > plugins > bundled".)

To load a parser from its filepath: >lua

    vim.treesitter.language.add('python', { path = "/path/to/python.so" })
<
Parser names are assumed to be lower case if the file system is
case-sensitive.

To associate certain |filetypes| with a treesitter language (name of parser),
use |vim.treesitter.language.register()|. For example, to use the `xml`
treesitter parser for buffers with filetype `svg` or `xslt`, use: >lua

    vim.treesitter.language.register('xml', { 'svg', 'xslt' })
<
                                                    *treesitter-parsers-wasm*

If Nvim is built with `ENABLE_WASMTIME`, then wasm parsers can also be
loaded: >lua

    vim.treesitter.language.add('python', { path = "/path/to/python.wasm" })
<

==============================================================================
TREESITTER QUERIES                                          *treesitter-query*

Treesitter queries are a way to extract information about a parsed |TSTree|,
e.g., for the purpose of highlighting. Briefly, a `query` consists of one or
more patterns. A `pattern` is defined over node types in the syntax tree. A
`match` corresponds to specific elements of the syntax tree which match a
pattern. Patterns may optionally define captures and predicates. A `capture`
allows you to associate names with a specific node in a pattern. A `predicate`
adds arbitrary metadata and conditional data to a match.

Queries are written in a lisp-like language documented in
https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers#query-syntax
Note: The predicates listed there differ from those Nvim supports. See
|treesitter-predicates| for a complete list of predicates supported by Nvim.

Nvim looks for queries as `*.scm` files in a `queries` directory under
`runtimepath`, where each file contains queries for a specific language and
purpose, e.g., `queries/lua/highlights.scm` for highlighting Lua files.
By default, the first query on `runtimepath` is used (which usually implies
that user config takes precedence over plugins, which take precedence over
queries bundled with Nvim). If a query should extend other queries instead
of replacing them, use |treesitter-query-modeline-extends|.

The Lua interface is described at |lua-treesitter-query|.


TREESITTER QUERY PREDICATES                            *treesitter-predicates*

Predicates are special scheme nodes that are evaluated to conditionally capture
nodes. For example, the `eq?` predicate can be used as follows: >query

    ((identifier) @variable.builtin
      (#eq? @variable.builtin "self"))
<
to only match identifier corresponding to the `"self"` text. Such queries can
be used to highlight built-in functions or variables differently, for instance.

The following predicates are built in:

    `eq?`                                            *treesitter-predicate-eq?*
        Match a string against the text corresponding to a node: >query
            ((identifier) @variable.builtin (#eq? @variable.builtin "self"))
            ((node1) @left (node2) @right (#eq? @left @right))
<
    `any-eq?`                                    *treesitter-predicate-any-eq?*
        Like `eq?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node must
        match.

    `match?`                                      *treesitter-predicate-match?*
    `vim-match?`                              *treesitter-predicate-vim-match?*
         Match a |regexp| against the text corresponding to a node: >query
            ((identifier) @constant (#match? @constant "^[A-Z_]+$"))
<
         Note: The `^` and `$` anchors will match the start and end of the
               node's text.

    `any-match?`                              *treesitter-predicate-any-match?*
    `any-vim-match?`                      *treesitter-predicate-any-vim-match?*
        Like `match?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node must
        match.

    `lua-match?`                              *treesitter-predicate-lua-match?*
         Match |lua-pattern|s against the text corresponding to a node,
         similar to `match?`

    `any-lua-match?`                      *treesitter-predicate-any-lua-match?*
         Like `lua-match?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node
         must match.

    `contains?`                                *treesitter-predicate-contains?*
        Match a string against parts of the text corresponding to a node: >query
            ((identifier) @foo (#contains? @foo "foo"))
            ((identifier) @foo-bar (#contains? @foo-bar "foo" "bar"))
<
    `any-contains?`                        *treesitter-predicate-any-contains?*
        Like `contains?`, but for quantified patterns only one captured node
        must match.

    `any-of?`                                    *treesitter-predicate-any-of?*
        Match any of the given strings against the text corresponding to
        a node: >query
            ((identifier) @foo (#any-of? @foo "foo" "bar"))
<
        This is the recommended way to check if the node matches one of many
        keywords, as it has been optimized for this.

    `has-ancestor?`                        *treesitter-predicate-has-ancestor?*
        Match any of the given node types against all ancestors of a node: >query
            ((identifier) @variable.builtin
              (#any-of? @variable.builtin "begin" "end")
              (#has-ancestor? @variable.builtin range_expression))
<
    `has-parent?`                            *treesitter-predicate-has-parent?*
        Match any of the given node types against the direct ancestor of a
        node: >query
            (((field_expression
                 (field_identifier) @method)) @_parent
             (#has-parent? @_parent template_method function_declarator))
<
                                                    *treesitter-predicate-not*
Each predicate has a `not-` prefixed predicate that is just the negation of
the predicate.

                                                    *treesitter-predicate-all*
                                                    *treesitter-predicate-any*
Queries can use quantifiers to capture multiple nodes. When a capture contains
multiple nodes, predicates match only if ALL nodes contained by the capture
match the predicate. Some predicates (`eq?`, `match?`, `lua-match?`,
`contains?`) accept an `any-` prefix to instead match if ANY of the nodes
contained by the capture match the predicate.

As an example, consider the following Lua code: >lua

  -- TODO: This is a
  -- very long
  -- comment (just imagine it)
<
using the following predicated query:
>query
    (((comment)+ @comment)
     (#match? @comment "TODO"))
<
This query will not match because not all of the nodes captured by @comment
match the predicate. Instead, use:
>query
    (((comment)+ @comment)
     (#any-match? @comment "TODO"))
<

Further predicates can be added via |vim.treesitter.query.add_predicate()|.
Use |vim.treesitter.query.list_predicates()| to list all available predicates.


TREESITTER QUERY DIRECTIVES                            *treesitter-directives*

Treesitter directives store metadata for a node or match and perform side
effects. For example, the `set!` directive sets metadata on the match or node: >query

        ((identifier) @foo (#set! type "parameter"))
<
The following directives are built in:

    `set!`                                          *treesitter-directive-set!*
        Sets key/value metadata for a specific match or capture. Value is
        accessible as either `metadata[key]` (match specific) or
        `metadata[capture_id][key]` (capture specific).

        Parameters: ~
            {capture_id} (optional)
            {key}
            {value}

        Examples: >query
            ((identifier) @foo (#set! @foo kind "parameter"))
            ((node1) @left (node2) @right (#set! type "pair"))
            ((codeblock) @markup.raw.block (#set! priority 90))
<
    `offset!`                                      *treesitter-directive-offset!*
        Takes the range of the captured node and applies an offset. This will
        set a new range in the form of a list like { {start_row}, {start_col},
        {end_row}, {end_col} } for the captured node with `capture_id` as
        `metadata[capture_id].range`. Useful for |treesitter-language-injections|.

        Parameters: ~
            {capture_id}
            {start_row}
            {start_col}
            {end_row}
            {end_col}

        Example: >query
            ((identifier) @constant (#offset! @constant 0 1 0 -1))
<
    `gsub!`                                          *treesitter-directive-gsub!*
        Transforms the content of the node using a |lua-pattern|. This will set
        a new `metadata[capture_id].text`.

        Parameters: ~
            {capture_id}
            {pattern}
            {replacement}

        Example: >query
            (#gsub! @_node ".*%.(.*)" "%1")
<
    `trim!`                                          *treesitter-directive-trim!*
        Trims whitespace from the node. Sets a new
        `metadata[capture_id].range`. Takes a capture ID and, optionally, four
        integers to customize trimming behavior (`1` meaning trim, `0` meaning
        don't trim). When only given a capture ID, trims blank lines (lines
        that contain only whitespace, or are empty) from the end of the node
        (for backwards compatibility). Can trim all whitespace from both sides
        of the node if parameters are given.

        Examples: >query
            ; only trim blank lines from the end of the node
            ; (equivalent to (#trim! @fold 0 0 1 0))
            (#trim! @fold)

            ; trim blank lines from both sides of the node
            (#trim! @fold 1 0 1 0)

            ; trim all whitespace around the node
            (#trim! @fold 1 1 1 1)
<
        Parameters: ~
            {capture_id}
            {trim_start_linewise}
            {trim_start_charwise}
            {trim_end_linewise} (default `1` if only given {capture_id})
            {trim_end_charwise}

Further directives can be added via |vim.treesitter.query.add_directive()|.
Use |vim.treesitter.query.list_directives()| to list all available directives.


TREESITTER QUERY MODELINES                          *treesitter-query-modeline*

Nvim supports to customize the behavior of the queries using a set of
"modelines", that is comments in the queries starting with `;`. Here are the
currently supported modeline alternatives:

    `inherits: {lang}...`                     *treesitter-query-modeline-inherits*
        Specifies that this query should inherit the queries from {lang}.
        This will recursively descend in the queries of {lang} unless wrapped
        in parentheses: `({lang})`.
        Note: This is meant to be used to include queries from another
        language. If you want your query to extend the queries of the same
        language, use `extends`.

    `extends`                                  *treesitter-query-modeline-extends*
        Specifies that this query should be used as an extension for the
        query, i.e. that it should be merged with the others.
        Note: The order of the extensions, and the query that will be used as
        a base depends on your 'runtimepath' value.

Note: These modeline comments must be at the top of the query, but can be
repeated, for example, the following two modeline blocks are both valid:
>query
    ;; inherits: typescript,jsx
    ;; extends
<
>query
    ;; extends
    ;;
    ;; inherits: css
<
==============================================================================
TREESITTER SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING                          *treesitter-highlight*

Syntax highlighting is specified through queries named `highlights.scm`,
which match a |TSNode| in the parsed |TSTree| to a `capture` that can be
assigned a highlight group. For example, the query >query

    (parameters (identifier) @variable.parameter)
<
matches any `identifier` node inside a function `parameters` node to the
capture named `@variable.parameter`. For example, for a Lua code >lua

    function f(foo, bar) end
<
which will be parsed as (see |:InspectTree|): >query

    (function_declaration ; [1:1 - 24]
      name: (identifier) ; [1:10 - 10]
      parameters: (parameters ; [1:11 - 20]
        name: (identifier) ; [1:12 - 14]
        name: (identifier))) ; [1:17 - 19]
<
the above query will highlight `foo` and `bar` as `@variable.parameter`.

It is also possible to match literal expressions (provided the parser returns
them):
>query
    [
      "if"
      "else"
    ] @keyword.conditional
<
Assuming a suitable parser and `highlights.scm` query is found in runtimepath,
treesitter highlighting for the current buffer can be enabled simply via
|vim.treesitter.start()|.

                                                 *treesitter-highlight-groups*
The capture names, prefixed with `@`, are directly usable as highlight groups.
For many commonly used captures, the corresponding highlight groups are linked
to Nvim's standard |highlight-groups| by default (e.g., `@comment` links to
`Comment`) but can be overridden in colorschemes.

A fallback system is implemented, so that more specific groups fallback to
more generic ones. For instance, in a language that has separate doc comments
(e.g., c, java, etc.), `@comment.documentation` could be used. If this group
is not defined, the highlighting for an ordinary `@comment` is used. This way,
existing color schemes already work out of the box, but it is possible to add
more specific variants for queries that make them available.

As an additional rule, capture highlights can always be specialized by
language, by appending the language name after an additional dot. For
instance, to highlight comments differently per language: >vim

    hi @comment.c guifg=Blue
    hi @comment.lua guifg=DarkBlue
    hi link @comment.documentation.java String
<

    (comment) @spell
<

There is also `@nospell` which disables spellchecking regions with `@spell`.

                                                *treesitter-highlight-conceal*
Treesitter highlighting supports |conceal| via the `conceal` and `conceal_lines`
metadata. By convention, nodes to be concealed are captured as `@conceal`, but
any capture can be used. For example, the following query can be used to hide
code block delimiters in Markdown: >query

    ((fenced_code_block_delimiter) @conceal (#set! conceal ""))
<
It is also possible to replace a node with a single character, which (unlike
legacy syntax) can be given a custom highlight. For example, the following
(ill-advised) query replaces the `!=` operator by a Unicode glyph, which is
still highlighted the same as other operators: >query

    "!=" @operator (#set! conceal "≠")
<
To conceal an entire line (do not draw it at all), a query with `conceal_lines`
metadata can be used: >query

    ((comment) @comment @spell
      (#set! conceal_lines ""))
<
Conceals specified in this way respect 'conceallevel' and 'concealcursor'.

Note that although you can use any string for `conceal`, only the first
character will be used: >query

    ; identifiers will be concealed with 'f'.
    ((identifier) @conceal (#set! conceal "foo"))
<

                                               *treesitter-highlight-priority*
Treesitter uses |nvim_buf_set_extmark()| to set highlights with a default
priority of 100. This enables plugins to set a highlighting priority lower or
higher than treesitter. It is also possible to change the priority of an
individual query pattern manually by setting its `"priority"` metadata
attribute: >query

    ((super_important_node) @superimportant (#set! priority 105))
<

                                          *treesitter-highlight-commentstring*
Treesitter highlighting supports finer-grained 'commentstring's, used by the
built-in |commenting| plugin. When the cursor is within a node that sets the
`bo.commentstring` metadata property (|treesitter-directive-set!|), that
property defines the comment delimiter (where "innermost wins"). This is
useful for languages like `JSX` that have different comment syntax depending
on the code region, for example: >query

    ((jsx_element) @_tag (#set! @_tag bo.commentstring "{/* %s */}"))
<
When multiple captures set this metadata over a region, only the innermost
(most specific) one is applied to a given area.

TREESITTER LANGUAGE INJECTIONS                *treesitter-language-injections*
<

Note the following information is adapted from:
  https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlighting#language-injection

Some source files contain code written in multiple different languages.
Examples include:

    • HTML files, which can contain JavaScript inside of `<script>` tags and
      CSS inside of `<style>` tags
    • ERB files, which contain Ruby inside of `<%` `%>` tags, and HTML outside of
      those tags
    • PHP files, which can contain HTML between the `<php` tags
    • JavaScript files, which contain regular expression syntax within regex
      literals
    • Ruby, which can contain snippets of code inside of heredoc literals,
      where the heredoc delimiter often indicates the language
    • Lua, which can contain snippets of Vimscript inside |vim.cmd()| calls.
    • Vimscript, which can contain snippets of Lua inside |:lua-heredoc|
      blocks.

All of these examples can be modeled in terms of a parent syntax tree and one
or more injected syntax trees, which reside inside of certain nodes in the
parent tree. The language injection query allows you to specify these
“injections” using the following captures:

    • `@injection.content` - indicates that the captured node should have its
      contents re-parsed using another language. If there are multiple
      `@injection.content` captures in one pattern, all ranges will be
      collected and parsed as one tree. This allows query authors to create
      "scoped" injections with injection query quantifiers.
    • `@injection.language` - indicates that the captured node’s text may
      contain the name of a language that should be used to re-parse the
      `@injection.content`.
    • `@injection.filename` - indicates that the captured node’s text may
      contain a filename; the corresponding filetype is then looked-up up via
      |vim.filetype.match()| and treated as the name of a language that should
      be used to re-parse the `@injection.content`.

The language injection behavior can also be configured by some properties
associated with patterns:

    • `injection.language` - can be used to hard-code the name of a specific
    language.
    • `injection.combined` - indicates that all of the matching nodes in the
    tree should have their content parsed as one nested document.
    • `injection.include-children` - indicates that the `@injection.content`
    node's entire text should be re-parsed, including the text of its child
    nodes. By default, child nodes' text will be excluded from the injected
    document.
    • `injection.self` - indicates that the node's text should be parsed with
      the same language as the node's LanguageTree.
    • `injection.parent` - indicates that the captured node’s text should
      be parsed with the same language as the node's parent LanguageTree.

Injection queries are currently run over the entire buffer, which can be slow
for large buffers. To disable injections for, e.g.,  `c`, just place an
empty `queries/c/injections.scm` file in your 'runtimepath'.

add({lang}, {opts})                            *vim.treesitter.language.add()*
    Load parser with name {lang}

    Parsers are searched in the `parser` runtime directory, or the provided
    {path}. Can be used to check for available parsers before enabling
    treesitter features, e.g., >lua
          if vim.treesitter.language.add('markdown') then
            vim.treesitter.start(bufnr, 'markdown')
          end
<

    Parameters: ~
      • {lang}  (`string`) Name of the parser (alphanumerical and `_` only)
      • {opts}  (`table?`) Options:

    |vim.treesitter.language.register()|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {lang}  (`string`) Name of parser

    Return: ~
        (`string[]`) filetypes

get_lang({filetype})                      *vim.treesitter.language.get_lang()*
    Returns the language name to be used when loading a parser for {filetype}.

    If no language has been explicitly registered via
    |vim.treesitter.language.register()|, default to {filetype}. For composite
    filetypes like `html.glimmer`, only the main filetype is returned.

    Parameters: ~
      • {filetype}  (`string`)

    Return: ~
        (`string?`)

inspect({lang})                            *vim.treesitter.language.inspect()*
    Inspects the provided language.

    Inspecting provides some useful information on the language like ABI
    version, parser state count (a measure of parser complexity), node and
    field names, and whether the language came from a WASM module.

    Node names are returned in a table mapping each node name to a `boolean`
    indicating whether or not the node is named (i.e., not anonymous).
    Anonymous nodes are surrounded with double quotes (`"`).

    For ABI 15 parsers, also show parser metadata (major, minor, patch
    version) and a table of supertypes with their respective subtypes.

    Parameters: ~
      • {lang}  (`string`) Language

    Return: ~
        (`TSLangInfo`)

register({lang}, {filetype})              *vim.treesitter.language.register()*
    Register a parser named {lang} to be used for {filetype}(s).

    Note: this adds or overrides the mapping for {filetype}, any existing
    mappings from other filetypes to {lang} will be preserved.

    Parameters: ~
      • {lang}      (`string`) Name of parser
      • {filetype}  (`string|string[]`) Filetype(s) to associate with lang

    Opens a live editor to query the buffer you started from.

    Can also be shown with *:EditQuery*.

    If you move the cursor to a capture name ("@foo"), text matching the
    capture is highlighted in the source buffer. The query editor is a scratch
    buffer, use `:write` to save it. You can find example queries at
    `$VIMRUNTIME/queries/`.

    Parameters: ~

parse({lang}, {query})                          *vim.treesitter.query.parse()*
    Parses a {query} string and returns a `Query` object
    (|lua-treesitter-query|), which can be used to search the tree for the
    query patterns (via |Query:iter_captures()|, |Query:iter_matches()|), or
    inspect/modify the query via these fields:
    • `captures`: a list of unique capture names defined in the query (alias:
      `info.captures`).
    • `info.patterns`: information about predicates.
    • `query`: the underlying |TSQuery| which can be used to disable patterns
      or captures.

    Example: >lua
        local query = vim.treesitter.query.parse('vimdoc', [[
          ; query
          ((h1) @str
            (#trim! @str 1 1 1 1))
        ]])
        local tree = vim.treesitter.get_parser():parse()[1]
        for id, node, metadata in query:iter_captures(tree:root(), 0) do
           -- Print the node name and source text.
           vim.print({node:type(), vim.treesitter.get_node_text(node, vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf())})
        end
<

    Parameters: ~
      • {lang}   (`string`) Language to use for the query
      • {query}  (`string`) Query text, in s-expr syntax

    Return: ~
        (`vim.treesitter.Query`) Parsed query . See |vim.treesitter.Query|.

    See also: ~

                                                       *Query:iter_captures()*
Query:iter_captures({node}, {source}, {start}, {stop}, {opts})
    Iterates over all captures from all matches in {node}.

    {source} is required if the query contains predicates; then the caller
    must ensure to use a freshly parsed tree consistent with the current text
    of the buffer (if relevant). {start} and {stop} can be used to limit
    matches inside a row range (this is typically used with root node as the
    {node}, i.e., to get syntax highlight matches in the current viewport).
    When omitted, the {start} and {stop} row values are used from the given
    node.

    The iterator returns four values:
    1. the numeric id identifying the capture
    2. the captured node
    3. metadata from any directives processing the match
    4. the match itself

    Example: how to get captures by name: >lua
        for id, node, metadata, match in query:iter_captures(tree:root(), bufnr, first, last) do
          local name = query.captures[id] -- name of the capture in the query
          -- typically useful info about the node:
          local type = node:type() -- type of the captured node
          local row1, col1, row2, col2 = node:range() -- range of the capture
          -- ... use the info here ...
        end
<

    Note: ~
      • Captures are only returned if the query pattern of a specific capture
        contained predicates.

    Parameters: ~
      • {node}    (`TSNode`) under which the search will occur
      • {source}  (`integer|string`) Source buffer or string to extract text
                  from
      • {start}   (`integer?`) Starting line for the search. Defaults to
                  `node:start()`.
      • {stop}    (`integer?`) Stopping line for the search (end-exclusive).
                  Defaults to `node:end_()`.
      • {opts}    (`table?`) Optional keyword arguments:
                  • max_start_depth (integer) if non-zero, sets the maximum
                    start depth for each match. This is used to prevent
                    traversing too deep into a tree.
                  • match_limit (integer) Set the maximum number of
                    in-progress matches (Default: 256).

    Return: ~
        (`fun(end_line: integer?): integer, TSNode, vim.treesitter.query.TSMetadata, TSQueryMatch, TSTree`)
        capture id, capture node, metadata, match, tree

Query:iter_matches({node}, {source}, {start}, {stop}, {opts})
    Iterates the matches of self on a given range.

    Iterate over all matches within a {node}. The arguments are the same as
    for |Query:iter_captures()| but the iterated values are different: an
    (1-based) index of the pattern in the query, a table mapping capture
    indices to a list of nodes, and metadata from any directives processing
    the match.

    Example: >lua
        for pattern, match, metadata in cquery:iter_matches(tree:root(), bufnr, 0, -1) do
          for id, nodes in pairs(match) do
            local name = query.captures[id]
            for _, node in ipairs(nodes) do
              -- `node` was captured by the `name` capture in the match

              local node_data = metadata[id] -- Node level metadata
              -- ... use the info here ...
            end
          end
        end
<

    Parameters: ~
      • {node}    (`TSNode`) under which the search will occur
      • {source}  (`integer|string`) Source buffer or string to search
      • {start}   (`integer?`) Starting line for the search. Defaults to
                  `node:start()`.
      • {stop}    (`integer?`) Stopping line for the search (end-exclusive).
                  Defaults to `node:end_()`.
      • {opts}    (`table?`) Optional keyword arguments:
                  • max_start_depth (integer) if non-zero, sets the maximum
                    start depth for each match. This is used to prevent
                    traversing too deep into a tree.
                  • match_limit (integer) Set the maximum number of
                    in-progress matches (Default: 256). all (boolean) When
                    `false` (default `true`), the returned table maps capture
                    IDs to a single (last) node instead of the full list of
                    matching nodes. This option is only for backward
                    compatibility and will be removed in a future release.

    Return: ~
        (`fun(): integer, table<integer, TSNode[]>, vim.treesitter.query.TSMetadata, TSTree`)
        pattern id, match, metadata, tree

set({lang}, {query_name}, {text})                 *vim.treesitter.query.set()*
    Sets the runtime query named {query_name} for {lang}

    This allows users to override or extend any runtime files and/or
    configuration set by plugins.

    For example, you could enable spellchecking of `C` identifiers with the
    following code: >lua
        vim.treesitter.query.set(
          'c',
          'highlights',
          [[;inherits c
          (identifier) @spell]])
        ]])
<

    Parameters: ~
      • {lang}        (`string`) Language to use for the query
      • {query_name}  (`string`) Name of the query (e.g., "highlights")
      • {text}        (`string`) Query text (unparsed).




*TSQuery*
    Extends: |userdata|

    Reference to an object held by the treesitter library that is used as a
    component of the |vim.treesitter.Query| for language feature support. See
    |treesitter-query| for more about queries or
    |vim.treesitter.query.parse()| for an example of how to obtain a query
    object.

    Fields: ~
      • {disable_capture}  (`fun(self: TSQuery, capture_name: string)`) See
                           |TSQuery:disable_capture()|.
      • {disable_pattern}  (`fun(self: TSQuery, pattern_index: integer)`) See
                           |TSQuery:disable_pattern()|.


TSQuery:disable_capture({capture_name})            *TSQuery:disable_capture()*
    Disable a specific capture in this query; once disabled the capture cannot
    be re-enabled. {capture_name} should not include a leading "@".

    Example: To disable the `@variable.parameter` capture from the vimdoc
    highlights query: >lua
        local query = vim.treesitter.query.get('vimdoc', 'highlights')
        query.query:disable_capture("variable.parameter")
        vim.treesitter.get_parser():parse()
<

    Parameters: ~
      • {capture_name}  (`string`)

TSQuery:disable_pattern({pattern_index})           *TSQuery:disable_pattern()*
    Disable a specific pattern in this query; once disabled the pattern cannot
    be re-enabled. The {pattern_index} for a particular match can be obtained
    with |:Inspect!|, or by reading the source of the query (i.e. from
    |vim.treesitter.query.get_files()|).

    Example: To disable `|` links in vimdoc but keep other `@markup.link`s
    highlighted: >lua
        local link_pattern = 9 -- from :Inspect!
        local query = vim.treesitter.query.get('vimdoc', 'highlights')
        query.query:disable_pattern(link_pattern)
        local tree = vim.treesitter.get_parser():parse()[1]
<

    Parameters: ~
      • {pattern_index}  (`integer`)


==============================================================================
Lua module: vim.treesitter.languagetree              *treesitter-languagetree*

A *LanguageTree* contains a tree of parsers: the root treesitter parser for
{lang} and any "injected" language parsers, which themselves may inject other
languages, recursively. For example a Lua buffer containing some Vimscript
commands needs multiple parsers to fully understand its contents.

To create a LanguageTree (parser object) for a given buffer and language, use: >lua
    local parser = vim.treesitter.get_parser(bufnr, lang)
<

(where `bufnr=0` means current buffer). `lang` defaults to 'filetype'. Note:
currently the parser is retained for the lifetime of a buffer but this may
change; a plugin should keep a reference to the parser object if it wants
incremental updates.

Whenever you need to access the current syntax tree, parse the buffer: >lua
    local tree = parser:parse({ start_row, end_row })
<

This returns a table of immutable |treesitter-tree| objects representing the
current state of the buffer. When the plugin wants to access the state after a
(possible) edit it must call `parse()` again. If the buffer wasn't edited, the
same tree will be returned again without extra work. If the buffer was parsed
before, incremental parsing will be done of the changed parts.

Note: To use the parser directly inside a |nvim_buf_attach()| Lua callback,
you must call |vim.treesitter.get_parser()| before you register your callback.
But preferably parsing shouldn't be done directly in the change callback
anyway as they will be very frequent. Rather a plugin that does any kind of
analysis on a tree should use a timer to throttle too frequent updates.


LanguageTree:children()                              *LanguageTree:children()*
    Returns a map of language to child tree.

    Return: ~
        (`table<string,vim.treesitter.LanguageTree>`)

LanguageTree:contains({range})                       *LanguageTree:contains()*
    Determines whether {range} is contained in the |LanguageTree|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {range}  (`table`) A table with the following fields:
                 • {[1]} (`integer`) start row
                 • {[2]} (`integer`) start column
                 • {[3]} (`integer`) end row
                 • {[4]} (`integer`) end column

    Return: ~
        (`boolean`)

LanguageTree:destroy()                                *LanguageTree:destroy()*
    Destroys this |LanguageTree| and all its children.

    Any cleanup logic should be performed here.

    Note: This DOES NOT remove this tree from a parent. Instead,
    `remove_child` must be called on the parent to remove it.

LanguageTree:for_each_tree({fn})                *LanguageTree:for_each_tree()*
    Invokes the callback for each |LanguageTree| recursively.

    Note: This includes the invoking tree's child trees as well.

    Parameters: ~
      • {fn}  (`fun(tree: TSTree, ltree: vim.treesitter.LanguageTree)`)

LanguageTree:included_regions()              *LanguageTree:included_regions()*
    Gets the set of included regions managed by this LanguageTree. This can be
    different from the regions set by injection query, because a partial
    |LanguageTree:parse()| drops the regions outside the requested range. Each
    list represents a range in the form of { {start_row}, {start_col},
    {start_bytes}, {end_row}, {end_col}, {end_bytes} }.

    Return: ~
        (`table<integer, Range6[]>`)

LanguageTree:invalidate({reload})                  *LanguageTree:invalidate()*
    Invalidates this parser and its children.

    Should only be called when the tracked state of the LanguageTree is not
    valid against the parse tree in treesitter. Doesn't clear filesystem
    cache. Called often, so needs to be fast.

    Parameters: ~
      • {reload}  (`boolean?`)

                                                     *LanguageTree:is_valid()*
LanguageTree:is_valid({exclude_children}, {range})
    Returns whether this LanguageTree is valid, i.e., |LanguageTree:trees()|
    reflects the latest state of the source. If invalid, user should call
    |LanguageTree:parse()|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {exclude_children}  (`boolean?`) whether to ignore the validity of
                            children (default `false`)
      • {range}             (`Range?`) range to check for validity

    Return: ~
        (`boolean`)

LanguageTree:lang()                                      *LanguageTree:lang()*
    Gets the language of this tree node.

    Return: ~
        (`string`)

                                           *LanguageTree:language_for_range()*
LanguageTree:language_for_range({range})
    Gets the appropriate language that contains {range}.

    Parameters: ~
      • {range}  (`table`) A table with the following fields:
                 • {[1]} (`integer`) start row
                 • {[2]} (`integer`) start column
                 • {[3]} (`integer`) end row
                 • {[4]} (`integer`) end column

    Return: ~
        (`vim.treesitter.LanguageTree`) tree Managing {range}

                                         *LanguageTree:named_node_for_range()*
LanguageTree:named_node_for_range({range}, {opts})
    Gets the smallest named node that contains {range}.

    Parameters: ~
      • {range}  (`table`) A table with the following fields:
                 • {[1]} (`integer`) start row
                 • {[2]} (`integer`) start column
                 • {[3]} (`integer`) end row
                 • {[4]} (`integer`) end column
      • {opts}   (`table?`) A table with the following fields:
                 • {ignore_injections}? (`boolean`, default: `true`) Ignore
                   injected languages

    Return: ~
        (`TSNode?`)

                                               *LanguageTree:node_for_range()*
LanguageTree:node_for_range({range}, {opts})
    Gets the smallest node that contains {range}.

    Parameters: ~
      • {range}  (`table`) A table with the following fields:
                 • {[1]} (`integer`) start row
                 • {[2]} (`integer`) start column
                 • {[3]} (`integer`) end row
                 • {[4]} (`integer`) end column
      • {opts}   (`table?`) A table with the following fields:
                 • {ignore_injections}? (`boolean`, default: `true`) Ignore
                   injected languages

    Return: ~
        (`TSNode?`)

LanguageTree:parent()                                  *LanguageTree:parent()*
    Returns the parent tree. `nil` for the root tree.

    Return: ~
        (`vim.treesitter.LanguageTree?`)

LanguageTree:parse({range}, {on_parse})                 *LanguageTree:parse()*
    Recursively parse all regions in the language tree using
    |treesitter-parsers| for the corresponding languages and run injection
    queries on the parsed trees to determine whether child trees should be
    created and parsed.

    Any region with empty range (`{}`, typically only the root tree) is always
    parsed; otherwise (typically injections) only if it intersects {range} (or
    if {range} is `true`).

    Parameters: ~
      • {range}     (`boolean|Range?`) Parse this range in the parser's
                    source. Set to `true` to run a complete parse of the
                    source (Note: Can be slow!) Set to `false|nil` to only
                    parse regions with empty ranges (typically only the root
                    tree without injections).
      • {on_parse}  (`fun(err?: string, trees?: table<integer, TSTree>)?`)
                    Function invoked when parsing completes. When provided and
                    `vim.g._ts_force_sync_parsing` is not set, parsing will
                    run asynchronously. The first argument to the function is
                    a string representing the error type, in case of a failure
                    (currently only possible for timeouts). The second
                    argument is the list of trees returned by the parse (upon
                    success), or `nil` if the parse timed out (determined by
                    'redrawtime').

                    If parsing was still able to finish synchronously (within
                    3ms), `parse()` returns the list of trees. Otherwise, it
                    returns `nil`.

    Return: ~
        (`table<integer, TSTree>?`)

                                                 *LanguageTree:register_cbs()*
LanguageTree:register_cbs({cbs}, {recursive})
    Registers callbacks for the |LanguageTree|.

    Parameters: ~
      • {cbs}        (`table<TSCallbackNameOn,function>`) An
                     |nvim_buf_attach()|-like table argument with the
                     following handlers:
                     • `on_bytes` : see |nvim_buf_attach()|.
                     • `on_changedtree` : a callback that will be called every
                       time the tree has syntactical changes. It will be
                       passed two arguments: a table of the ranges (as node
                       ranges) that changed and the changed tree.
                     • `on_child_added` : emitted when a child is added to the
                       tree.
                     • `on_child_removed` : emitted when a child is removed
                       from the tree.
                     • `on_detach` : emitted when the buffer is detached, see
                       |nvim_buf_detach_event|. Takes one argument, the number
                       of the buffer.
      • {recursive}  (`boolean?`) Apply callbacks recursively for all
                     children. Any new children will also inherit the
                     callbacks.

LanguageTree:source()                                  *LanguageTree:source()*
    Returns the source content of the language tree (bufnr or string).

    Return: ~
        (`integer|string`)

                                               *LanguageTree:tree_for_range()*
LanguageTree:tree_for_range({range}, {opts})
    Gets the tree that contains {range}.

    Parameters: ~
      • {range}  (`table`) A table with the following fields:

                 • {[2]} (`integer`) start column
                 • {[3]} (`integer`) end row

                   injected languages

    Return: ~
        (`TSTree?`)

LanguageTree:trees()                                    *LanguageTree:trees()*
    Returns all trees of the regions parsed by this parser. Does not include
    child languages. The result is list-like if
    • this LanguageTree is the root, in which case the result is empty or a
      singleton list; or
    • the root LanguageTree is fully parsed.

    Return: ~
        (`table<integer, TSTree>`)
