# avante.nvim (Alpha)

**avante.nvim** is a Neovim plugin designed to emulate the behavior of the [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com) AI IDE, providing users with AI-driven code suggestions and the ability to apply these recommendations directly to their source files with minimal effort.


⚠️⚠️ **WARNING: This plugin is still in a very early stage of development, so please be aware that the current code is very messy and unstable, and problems are likely to occur.**

## Features

- **AI-Powered Code Assistance**: Interact with AI to ask questions about your current code file and receive intelligent suggestions for improvement or modification.
- **One-Click Application**: Quickly apply the AI's suggested changes to your source code with a single command, streamlining the editing process and saving time.

## Installation

Install `avante.nvim` using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim):

```lua
{
  "yetone/avante.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  config = function()
      require("avante").setup({})
  end,
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons",
    {
      "grapp-dev/nui-components.nvim",
      dependencies = {
        "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim"
      }
    },
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim",
  },
}
```

Default setup configuration:

```lua
{
  provider = "claude", -- openai, claude
  openai = {
    endpoint = "https://api.openai.com",
    model = "gpt-4o",
    temperature = 0,
    max_tokens = 4096,
  },
  claude = {
    endpoint = "https://api.anthropic.com",
    model = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620",
    temperature = 0,
    max_tokens = 4096,
  },
  highlights = {
    diff = {
      incoming = "DiffAdded", -- need have background color
      current = "DiffRemoved", -- need have background color
    },
  },
  mappings = {
    show_sidebar = "<leader>aa",
    diff = {
      ours = "co",
      theirs = "ct",
      none = "c0",
      both = "cb",
      next = "]x",
      prev = "[x",
    },
  },
}
```

## Usage

Given its early stage, `avante.nvim` currently supports the following basic functionalities:

1. Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable:
```sh
export ANTHROPIC_API=your-api-key
```
Or set `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable:
```sh
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
```
2. Open a code file in Neovim.
3. Use the `:AvanteAsk` command to query the AI about the code.
4. Review the AI's suggestions.
5. Apply the recommended changes directly to your code with a simple command or key binding.

**Note**: The plugin is still under active development, and both its functionality and interface are subject to significant changes. Expect some rough edges and instability as the project evolves.

## Key Bindings

The following key bindings are available for use with `avante.nvim`:

- <kbd>Leader</kbd><kbd>a</kbd><kbd>a</kbd> — show sidebar
- <kbd>c</kbd><kbd>o</kbd> — choose ours
- <kbd>c</kbd><kbd>t</kbd> — choose theirs
- <kbd>c</kbd><kbd>b</kbd> — choose both
- <kbd>c</kbd><kbd>0</kbd> — choose none
