Hiding lualine in zen-mode

[plum]

Please do tell me what I'm doing wrong here!

When I invoke zen-mode, lualine fails to disappear.
In plugins/zenmode.lua , I have written the following code:

`return {
  on_open = function()
    require("lualine").hide({
      place = { "statusline", "tabline", "winbar" }, 
      unhide = false, -- whether to re-enable lualine again/
    })
  end,

  on_close = function()
    require("lualine").hide({ unhide = true })
  end,
}
`

I am fresh to lua code, and am struggling with this after may attempts. Meanwhile I am studying the examples presented here, and the vim-lua guide making my way through the lua wiki tutorials.
i did manage to get lualine hiding with goyo , which appears to be a little more complicated. However, I apprecoiate zen-mode because is written in lua.

Here below, I have modelled a zenmode.lua plugin based on my successful goyo effort, but it too fails to hide the lualine:

`On_open = function()
  require("lualine").hide({
    place = { "statusline", "tabline", "winbar" }, -- the segment this change applies to.
    unhide = false, -- whether to re-enable lualine again/
  })
end


On_close = function()
  require("lualine").hide({ unhide = true })
end

ZenModeGroup = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("Zen-modeGroup", { clear = true })

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  pattern = "ZenMode",
  callback = On_open,
  group = ZenModeGroup,
})

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
  pattern = "ZenMode",
  callback = On_close,
  group = ZenModeGroup,
})

Help will spur me on!

whilst i wouldn't classify my method as a true solution, i do have a workaround.

The main issue seems to be the execution order. Lualine needs to be hidden first, otherwise it just does not work.
Steps:

1. hide lualine
2. toggle zen-mode.

if anyone is still interested. this is my code.

--]] file: ...../plugins/zenmode.lua
--]] sourced: https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/init.lua/blob/master/lua/theprimeagen/lazy/zenmode.lua

local hide_winbar_tabs = function()
    require('lualine').hide(
        {
            place = { 'tabline', 'winbar' }, -- The segment this change applies to.
            unhide = false,
        })
end

return {
    "folke/zen-mode.nvim",

    config = function()
        vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>zz", function()
            hide_winbar_tabs()
            require("zen-mode").setup {
                window = {
                    width = 110,
                    options = {}
                },

                -- callback when the Zen window opens
                -- this callback is just incapable of hiding lualine
                -- useless
                on_open = function()
                    vim.cmd("echo 'ZenMode opened'")
                    -- vim.cmd("lua require('lualine').hide()")
                    -- hide_winbar_tabs()
                end,
                -- callback when the Zen window closes
                on_close = function()
                    require('lualine').hide({
                        -- place = { 'tabline', 'winbar' }, -- The segment this change applies to.
                        unhide = true, -- whether to re-enable lualine again/
                    })
                    vim.cmd("echo 'ZenMode closed'")
                end,
            }
            require("zen-mode").toggle()
            vim.wo.number = true
            vim.wo.rnu = true
        end)
}

NOTE:

1. hide_winbar_tabs() is a separate function because of modularity.
2. on_close: callback works as expected.
3. on_open: callback can be removed without any problem. i was just testing something.
