How to add a nerd-font icon

[odebroqueville]

I noticed that some document types, e.g. PDF, don't have an icon. I created a file called .pls.yml in my home directory ~ on my Mac containing the following code, but it's not working and I honestly don't understand how to validate my YAML file!

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dhruvkb/pls/main/src/pls/data/schema/pls_config.yml

nerd_icons:
  pdf: "\uf724" # nf-mdi-file_pdf

Would be most grateful if someone could help me fix this!

Hey @odebroqueville, there are two steps involved in adding an icon for a file type.

• icon mapping (the step that you have done)
• spec definition (the step that's missing)

Your .pls.yml file should look like this:

nerd_icons:
  pdf: "\uf724" # nf-mdi-file_pdf

node_specs: # teaches `pls` how to map files to icons and colors
  - extension: pdf
    icon: pdf
    color: "#ec1c24"

As for validation of your .pls.yml file, you're on the right track @odebroqueville. The yaml-language-server comment should do the trick. You can also validate manually by following these steps:

• Visit Hyperjump.
• Switch to YAML using the tab in the top-left corner.
• Paste the schema YAML in the left pane and the pls.yml file in the right.
• See the validity of both the schema and your config below the panes.

Hey @dhruvkb , thank you so much. It's working perfectly now. Very kind of you. I really like pls. It's beautiful and a nice complement to my terminal customisation using Powerlevel10k and fig. Will be happy to make modest donation. Keep up the great work!
