Using nvim-web-devicons and lspkind as kind_icon

[marovira]

This is my setup for combining nvim-web-devicons with lspkind to replace the built-in kind_icon functionality. Here are some comparisons:

• Regular complete
  • Before:
  • After:
• File completion
  • Before:
  • After:

Here's the configuration:

draw = {
    components = {
        kind_icon = {
            ellipsis = false,
            text = function(ctx)
                local lspkind = require("lspkind")
                local icon = ctx.kind_icon
                if vim.tbl_contains({ "Path" }, ctx.source_name) then
                    local dev_icon, _ = require("nvim-web-devicons").get_icon(ctx.label)
                    if dev_icon then
                        icon = dev_icon
                    end
                else
                    icon = require("lspkind").symbolic(ctx.kind, {
                        mode = "symbol",
                    })
                end

                return icon .. ctx.icon_gap
            end,
        },
    },
},

If you want to use the highlight groups from nvim-web-devicons, then add this:

highlight = function(ctx)
    local hl = "BlinkCmpKind" .. ctx.kind
        or require("blink.cmp.completion.windows.render.tailwind").get_hl(ctx)
    if vim.tbl_contains({ "Path" }, ctx.source_name) then
        local dev_icon, dev_hl = require("nvim-web-devicons").get_icon(ctx.label)
        if dev_icon then
            hl = dev_hl
        end
    end
    return hl
end,

Note

You can also add the same function for kind.highlight if you want to keep the highlight groups in sync with the icons.

Added as a recipe, thanks! https://main.cmp.saghen.dev/recipes.html#nvim-web-devicons-lspkind

hey there @marovira, how to make this work for mini.icons? i have too many configurations to switch to nvim-web-devicons now...
this is my mini.icons table for lsp:

now i wonder if i can add this for directory/filename matching for path

you probanly dont wanna click this

@daUnknownCoder You can use lsp to get icons based on LSP, and also MiniIcons.get to match directories or filenames with custom icons.
