evil text objects for code object at point?

Question

I use text objects with evil like "i(" for the contents of the brackets. I would quite like "magic code aware text objects"?

This textobject would:

• return the entire function if I was at a function
• return the entire class if I was at a class
• return the switch if I was at an "if/elif" block

etc.

Is there a way to do this task that does not consist of completely implementing it myself?

May be https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter can fit your need.

Take a look at Doom Emacs' tree-sitter module config for examples.

But if you need something so DWIMmy instead of vi's preferred explicit approach, IMO tree-sitter & expand-region : tree-sitter-mark-bigger-node should be more appropriate for you.
