Introduction

A UI for nvim-dap (the quasi canonical neovim implementation of DAP; the protocol that enhances text editors with IDE-like debugging capabilities).

Installation

Via lazy.nvim

return {
    {
        "igorlfs/nvim-dap-view",
        -- let the plugin lazy load itself
        lazy = false,
        version = "1.*",
        ---@module 'dap-view'
        ---@type dapview.Config
        opts = {},
    },
}

Features

• Watch expressions

• Navigate in the call stack

• Manipulate breakpoints

• Inspect and modify variables in scope

• REPL

• Inline virtual text variables

• Hover

• And more!

Getting Started

Start a regular debugging session. When desired, you can use :DapViewOpen to start the plugin. You can switch to another section using the letter outlined in the 'winbar' (e.g., B for "Breakpoints"). Explore what you can do in each section by using g? to inspect the keymaps.

Once you're done debugging, you can close the plugin with :DapViewClose and then terminate your session as usual.

There's a lot more you can do: nvim-dap-view is highly customizable. To learn all the options, commands, tips and tricks, visit the full documentation on the website or use the built-in help doc via :help dap-view.txt.
