Installation

Tip

Installing this plugin with ya will conveniently clone the plugin from GitHub, copy it to your plugins directory, and update the package.toml to lock its version ¹.

To install it with ya run:

ya pack -a macydnah/office

Or if you prefer a manual approach:

## For linux and MacOS
git clone https://github.com/macydnah/office.yazi.git ~/.config/yazi/plugins/office.yazi

## For Windows
git clone https://github.com/macydnah/office.yazi.git %AppData%\yazi\config\plugins\office.yazi

Usage

In your yazi.toml add rules to preloaders² and previewers³ to run office plugin with office documents.

Note

Your config may be different depending if you're appending, prepending or overriding default rules. If unsure, take a look at Configuration⁴ and Configuration mixing⁵

For a general usecase, you may use the following rules

[plugin]

prepend_preloaders = [
    # Office Documents
    { mime = "application/openxmlformats-officedocument.*", run = "office" },
    { mime = "application/oasis.opendocument.*", run = "office" },
    { mime = "application/ms-*", run = "office" },
    { mime = "application/msword", run = "office" },
    { name = "*.docx", run = "office" },
]

prepend_previewers = [
    # Office Documents
    { mime = "application/openxmlformats-officedocument.*", run = "office" },
    { mime = "application/oasis.opendocument.*", run = "office" },
    { mime = "application/ms-*", run = "office" },
    { mime = "application/msword", run = "office" },
    { name = "*.docx", run = "office" },
]
