Are there any more examples of custom components?

I'm trying to author a whitespace/mix-indent component similar to galaxyline.nvim or airline and not having much luck. I tried to model this after some snippets in the slanted-gaps example but I seem to be missing something.

Check out https://github.com/nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim/wiki/Component-snippets#mixed-indent

If you want to create a new type of component . You need to extened the base component class then implement update_status method.

Checkout components in https://github.com/nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim/tree/master/lua/lualine/components . & Base component is found here .

But if you're just putting it in your config . You can just use the mixed-indent function as a component as shown here

You can just do

local function mixed_indent()
  local space_pat = [[\v^ +]]
  local tab_pat = [[\v^\t+]]
  local space_indent = vim.fn.search(space_pat, 'nwc')
  local tab_indent = vim.fn.search(tab_pat, 'nwc')
  local mixed = (space_indent > 0 and tab_indent > 0)
  local mixed_same_line
  if not mixed then
    mixed_same_line = vim.fn.search([[\v^(\t+ | +\t)]], 'nwc')
    mixed = mixed_same_line > 0
  end
  if not mixed then return '' end
  if mixed_same_line ~= nil and mixed_same_line > 0 then
     return 'MI:'..mixed_same_line
  end
  local space_indent_cnt = vim.fn.searchcount({pattern=space_pat, max_count=1e3}).total
  local tab_indent_cnt =  vim.fn.searchcount({pattern=tab_pat, max_count=1e3}).total
  if space_indent_cnt > tab_indent_cnt then
    return 'MI:'..tab_indent
  else
    return 'MI:'..space_indent
  end
end

require('lualine').setup {
  lualine_x = {mixed_indent},
}
