mini.hipatterns how to enable hex color coding

[cronyakatsuki]

Hello, been trying to enable mini.hipatterns to colorize hex colors but haven't been able to achieve it.

The lua look like this on the official readme https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-hipatterns.md

local hipatterns = require('mini.hipatterns')
hipatterns.setup({
  highlighters = {
    -- Highlight standalone 'FIXME', 'HACK', 'TODO', 'NOTE'
    fixme = { pattern = '%f[%w]()FIXME()%f[%W]', group = 'MiniHipatternsFixme' },
    hack  = { pattern = '%f[%w]()HACK()%f[%W]',  group = 'MiniHipatternsHack'  },
    todo  = { pattern = '%f[%w]()TODO()%f[%W]',  group = 'MiniHipatternsTodo'  },
    note  = { pattern = '%f[%w]()NOTE()%f[%W]',  group = 'MiniHipatternsNote'  },

    -- Highlight hex color strings (`#rrggbb`) using that color
    hex_color = hipatterns.gen_highlighter.hex_color(),
  },
})

I tried to do it like this in nvf, but it doesn't colorize the colors:

             hipatterns = {
               enable = true;
               setupOpts = {
                 highlighters = {
                   hex_color = "require('mini.hipatterns').gen_highlighter.hex_color()";
                 };
               };
             };

- hex_color = "require('mini.hipatterns').gen_highlighter.hex_color()";
+ hex_color = lib.generators.mkLuaInline "require('mini.hipatterns').gen_highlighter.hex_color()";

Could you try this? By default " ... " will be converted to a string literal, which will not act as the Lua function you expect it to act as.

Edit:

lib.mkLuaInline -> lib.generators.mkLuaInline

Tnx that helped, only thing I needed to do was:

hex_color = lib.generators.mkLuaInline "require('mini.hipatterns').gen_highlighter.hex_color()";

Because just lib.mkLuaInline didn't work.

Ah you are right, it's not available as a top-level alias.

Glad it worked :)
