Config

-- example config, no defaults
require 'view'.setup {
  viewers = {
    hex = { -- views binary files in hex
      is_buf_viewable = require "hex".view.is_buf_viewable
      viewer = require "hex".view.viewer({
        -- hex viewer opts
      })
    },

    -- other (concept) viewers could be specified here:

    -- views sensitive (.env) files as a lockscreen that requires a confirmation
    lock = {
      is_buf_viewable = ...
      viewer = ...
    },

    -- views image files as ascii art or rendered in kitty protocol
    image = {
      is_buf_viewable = ...
      viewer = ...
    },

    -- views buffers that aren't text and weren't viewable by any of the above
    -- as a centered "Buffer Not Supported!" text instead of gibberish
    unsupported = {
      is_buf_viewable = ...
      viewer = ...
    },
  }
}
