Doom Emacs

[dboneham]

I couldn't see any notes on how to install into Doomemacs - which I use.

I managed to do this in two basic steps, as follows:

1. Insert the following text into packages.el (one of the three main config files in Doomemacs).
   (package! emacs-application-framework
   :recipe (:host github :repo "manateelazycat/emacs-application-framework"
   :files ("eaf.el" "src/lisp/*.el")))
2. Doing a git clone of the repo into ~/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-27.1/emacs-application framework/
   I had to move eaf.el and emacs-application-framework-autoloads.el to empty the directory before cloning. Then moved the file back afterwards.

There is probably a better way of installing eaf into Doomcasts (without disrupting its processes).

Here is a copy of my eaf config within config.el:
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'eaf-open-browser)
(defalias 'browse-web #'eaf-open-browser)
(setq eaf-browser-enable-adblocker "true")
(setq eaf-browser-continue-where-left-off t)
(setq eaf-browser-default-search-engine "duckduckgo")
(setq eaf-browse-blank-page-url "https://duckduckgo.com")
(setq eaf-browser-default-zoom "3")
(require 'eaf-org)
(defun eaf-org-open-file (file &optional link)
"An wrapper function on eaf-open'." (eaf-open file)) ;; use emacs-application-framework' to open PDF file: link
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\.pdf\'" . eaf-org-open-file))

I am not currently using the evil set-up within eaf for fear of disrupting Doom's own highly developed Evil settings.

Interested in ay tips in relation to using eaf within Doomemacs

Since Github discussion is still a fairly new feature, I dunno whether there are a lot of people looking here and you'll get a solution any time soon. Maybe you should ask on reddit or create an issue instead.

That's OK. I'm not looking for a solution, as such. I just thought any Doomemacs users interested in installing EAF might wish to learn how I did it. Best wishes, David Boneham Matthew Zeng <notifications@github.com> writes:

Oh that's good to know! Sorry I made the wrong assumption, as I'm not a Doom Emacs user myself and didn't pay too much attention on the context.

I've add this snippet to $DOOMDIR/pacakges.el and run doom sync, but it seems that EAF still can't work. For example after running M-x eaf-open-browser and typing a URL, I can only get a blank window, rather than a browser. I tried to run the install.sh. Is there something wrong with what I'm doing?

[colawithsauce]

That's because doom would build the packages and place them into the 'build' directory. Running eaf-install-dependencies is to running ./install-eaf.sh in the build directory. However, when running eaf-open-browser, the program would find these dependencies in repo directory.

So the solution is running ./install-eaf.sh in your repo directory or just manage emacs-application-framework manually, instead of calling eaf-install-dependencies

Now I turn to naive emacs and EAF without doom. But thanks for your solution.

Looks like doom Emacs uses straight for package management.

I've got a working straight configuration for eaf which does all the cloning and building.

Link to the conf.

I've had a headache to match EAF with Straight.el so go for the following setup in $ DOOMDIR config.el or config.org

(use-package! eaf
  :load-path "~/.elisp/emacs-application-framework"
  :init
  :custom
  (eaf-browser-continue-where-left-off t) 
  (eaf-browser-enable-adblocker t)
  (browse-url-browser-function 'eaf-open-browser) ;; Make EAF Browser my default browser
  :config
  (defalias 'browse-web #'eaf-open-browser)

  (require 'eaf-file-manager)
  (require 'eaf-music-player)
  (require 'eaf-image-viewer)
  (require 'eaf-camera)
  (require 'eaf-demo)
  (require 'eaf-airshare)
  (require 'eaf-terminal)
  (require 'eaf-markdown-previewer)
  (require 'eaf-video-player)
  (require 'eaf-vue-demo)
  (require 'eaf-file-sender)
  (require 'eaf-pdf-viewer)
  (require 'eaf-mindmap)
  (require 'eaf-netease-cloud-music)
  (require 'eaf-jupyter)
  (require 'eaf-org-previewer)
  (require 'eaf-system-monitor)
  (require 'eaf-rss-reader)
  (require 'eaf-file-browser)
  (require 'eaf-browser)
  (require 'eaf-org)
  (require 'eaf-mail)
  (require 'eaf-git)
  (when (display-graphic-p)
    (require 'eaf-all-the-icons))

  (require 'eaf-evil)
  (define-key key-translation-map (kbd "SPC")
    (lambda (prompt)
      (if (derived-mode-p 'eaf-mode)
          (pcase eaf--buffer-app-name
            ("browser" (if  (string= (eaf-call-sync "call_function" eaf--buffer-id "is_focus") "True")
                           (kbd "SPC")
                         (kbd eaf-evil-leader-key)))
            ("pdf-viewer" (kbd eaf-evil-leader-key))
            ("image-viewer" (kbd eaf-evil-leader-key))
            (_  (kbd "SPC")))
        (kbd "SPC")))))

It is the best way to get EAF at DoomEmacs, I will be attentive if someone manages to install it in a better way.
