Keybinds for a specific file type only

[RizaHKhan]

Hello,

Is there a way to have keybinds set for a specific file only?

Take the below configuration for example, I have mappings set, but I want them to only apply on .http files. Is that even possible?

return {
  "mistweaverco/kulala.nvim",
  ft = "http",
  dependencies = {
    { -- AstroCore is always loaded on startup, so making it a dependency doesn't matter
      "AstroNvim/astrocore",
      opts = {
        mappings = { -- define a mapping to load the plugin module
          n = {
            ["<leader>r"] = "<cmd>lua require('kulala').run()<cr>",
            ["[r"] = "<cmd>lua require('kulala').jump_prev()<cr>",
            ["]r"] = "<cmd>lua require('kulala').jump_next()<cr>",
            ["<leader>i"] = "<cmd>lua require('kulala').inspect()<cr>",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
  opts = {
    debug = true
  },
}

Well... It is possible but not an elegant one. Solution is to use autocmds. Basically they are event listeners. You can listen for buffer events for http files and register your keymaps for only that buffer.

return {
  "mistweaverco/kulala.nvim",
  ft = "http",
  dependencies = {
    {
      "AstroNvim/astrocore",
      ---@type AstroCoreOpts
      opts = {
        autocmds = {
          keymaps = {
            {
              event = { "BufRead", "BufNewFile" },
              pattern = "*.http",
              desc = "kulala.nvim http file keymaps",
              callback = function()
                local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }
                vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(0, "n", "<leader>r", "<cmd>lua require('kulala').run()<cr>", opts)
                vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(0, "n", "[r", "<cmd>lua require('kulala').jump_prev()<cr>", opts)
                vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(0, "n", "]r", "<cmd>lua require('kulala').jump_next()<cr>", opts)
                vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(0, "n", "<leader>i", "<cmd>lua require('kulala').inspect()<cr>", opts)
              end,
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
  opts = {
    debug = true,
  },
}
