whatyouhide / vim-textobj-xmlattr

A vim text object for XML/HTML attributes.

vim-textobj-xmlattr

This vim plugin provides two text objects: ax and ix.
They represent XML/HTML attributes.

It's based on (and requires) vim-textobj-user.

These attributes will work:

<div class="box" id=footer data-updatable data-content="everything"></div>

ix works with the inner attribute, with no surrounding whitespace. ax works like aw does: it includes the whitespace before the attribute. I know that aw includes the whitespace after/before or whatever it finds more fitty, but XML/HTML attributes always include whitespace before them, while they do not always include whitespace after:

<some-tag with-only="one attribute"/>

When I dix, I want to be left with a valid XML/HTML tag, that's why I didn't consider leading and trailing whitespaces.

Installation

I'm a recent vim-plug convert, and I'm super happy with this plugin manager. Check out its page, you will be amazed too (Vundle will look way less appealing!).

vim-textobj-xmlattr's Issues

Missing documentation on the kana/vim-textobj-user dependency

The line with the only attribute is not deleted

Suppose we have the tag from the example in README.md, but the attributes are separated by line breaks (sometimes linters do this when the allowed line length is exceeded):

<div
  class="box"
  id=footer
  data-updatable
  data-content="everything"
></div>

After the dax operation on any attribute (for example, let it be on the first one), an empty string remains:

<div
  
  id=footer
  data-updatable
  data-content="everything"
></div>

It seems to me that the separator in the form of a line break, as well as in the form of a whitespace, should also be removed.

Can it support `=` between two spaces?

Such as <link rel = "stylesheet">.
Thank you!

Question about jsx attributes

Hi,

I use this plugin everyday for html editing and also more and more jsx. Do you think it would make sense to add jsx attributes support?

As mentionned is this vim reddit thread, it doesn't work all the time with jsx attributes.

Best,

Does not work with XML attribute names containing colons.

First things first: awesome plugin, great job!

I'm doing Android development, and I work with a lot of XML like this:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

If I dix at the beginning of android:name, I get this result:

<uses-permission :name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Make it work with numbered motions

AFAICT numbered versions of the key combinations are not implemented, e..g., using d2ix to remove two consecutive xml attributes or d3ix to remove 3, etc.

Is this something that can be potentially supported?
