Thus it is possible to use an expression which is -invalid the moment the function is defined. The expressions are also only -evaluated when arguments are not specified during a call. - - *E989* -Optional arguments with default expressions must occur after any mandatory -arguments. You can use "..." after all optional named arguments. - -It is possible for later argument defaults to refer to prior arguments, -but not the other way around.

The name of the function and its arguments - are as specified with `:function`. Up to 20 arguments can be - used. The returned value is discarded. - Without a range and for functions that accept a range, the - function is called once. When a range is given the cursor is - positioned at the start of the first line before executing the - function. - When a range is given and the function doesn't handle it - itself, the function is executed for each line in the range, - with the cursor in the first column of that line. The cursor - is left at the last line (possibly moved by the last function - call). The arguments are re-evaluated for each line. Thus - this works: - *function-range-example* > - :function Mynumber(arg) - : echo line(".") .. " " .. a:arg - :endfunction - :1,5call Mynumber(getline(".")) -< - The "a:firstline" and "a:lastline" are defined anyway, they - can be used to do something different at the start or end of - the range. - - Example of a function that handles the range itself: > - - :function Cont() range - : execute (a:firstline + 1) .. "," .. a:lastline .. 's/^/\t\\ ' - :endfunction - :4,8call Cont() -< - This function inserts the continuation character "\" in front - of all the lines in the range, except the first one. - - When the function returns a composite value it can be further - dereferenced, but the range will not be used then. Example: > - :4,8call GetDict().method() -< Here GetDict() gets the range but method() does not. - - *E132* -The recursiveness of user functions is restricted with the |'maxfuncdepth'| -option. +functions.

There are two methods: with an autocommand and with -the "autoload" directory in 'runtimepath'. - - -Using an autocommand ~ - -This is introduced in the user manual, section |41.14|. - -The autocommand is useful if you have a plugin that is a long Vim script file. -You can define the autocommand and quickly quit the script with `:finish`. -That makes Vim startup faster. The autocommand should then load the same file -again, setting a variable to skip the `:finish` command. - -Use the FuncUndefined autocommand event with a pattern that matches the -function(s) to be defined. Example: > - - :au FuncUndefined BufNet* source ~/vim/bufnetfuncs.vim - -The file "~/vim/bufnetfuncs.vim" should then define functions that start with -"BufNet". Also see |FuncUndefined|. - - -Using an autoload script ~ - *autoload* *E746* -This is introduced in the user manual, section |41.15|. - -Using a script in the "autoload" directory is simpler, but requires using -exactly the right file name. A function that can be autoloaded has a name -like this: > - - :call filename#funcname() - -When such a function is called, and it is not defined yet, Vim will search the -"autoload" directories in 'runtimepath' for a script file called -"filename.vim". For example "~/.config/nvim/autoload/filename.vim". That -file should then define the function like this: > - - function filename#funcname() - echo "Done!" - endfunction - -The file name and the name used before the # in the function must match -exactly, and the defined function must have the name exactly as it will be -called. - -It is possible to use subdirectories. Every # in the function name works like -a path separator. Thus when calling a function: > - - :call foo#bar#func() - -Vim will look for the file "autoload/foo/bar.vim" in 'runtimepath'. - -This also works when reading a variable that has not been set yet: > - - :let l = foo#bar#lvar - -However, when the autoload script was already loaded it won't be loaded again -for an unknown variable. - -When assigning a value to such a variable nothing special happens. This can -be used to pass settings to the autoload script before it's loaded: > - - :let foo#bar#toggle = 1 - :call foo#bar#func() - -Note that when you make a mistake and call a function that is supposed to be -defined in an autoload script, but the script doesn't actually define the -function, you will get an error message for the missing function. If you fix -the autoload script it won't be automatically loaded again. Either restart -Vim or manually source the script. - -Also note that if you have two script files, and one calls a function in the -other and vice versa, before the used function is defined, it won't work. -Avoid using the autoload functionality at the toplevel. +You can find most information about defining functions in |userfunc.txt|. ============================================================================== 6.
