FEATURES                                                  *lazy.nvim-features*


- Manage all your Neovim plugins with a fancy UI
- Fast startup: Automatically caches and compiles byte code of all lua modules needed during startup
- Partial clones instead of shallow clones
- Auto lazy-loading of lua modules
- Lazy-loading on events, commands, filetypes and key mappings
- Automatically installs missing plugins before starting up so you can start using Neovim right away
- Async execution for improved performance
- No need to manually compile plugins
- Correct sequencing of dependencies
- Configurable in multiple files
- Dev option and patterns for using local plugin
- Profiling tools to optimize performance
- Lockfile `lazy-lock.json` to keep track of installed plugin versions
- Automatically check for updates
- Commit, branch, tag, version, and full Semver <https://devhints.io/semver> support
- Statusline component to see the number of pending updates


REQUIREMENTS                                          *lazy.nvim-requirements*


- Neovim >= **0.8.0**


INSTALLATION                                          *lazy.nvim-installation*

You can use the following Lua code to bootstrap **lazy.nvim**

>
      local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
      if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
        vim.fn.system({
          "git",
          "clone",
          "--filter=blob:none",
          "--single-branch",
          "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
          lazypath,
        })
        vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)
      end
<


USAGE                                                        *lazy.nvim-usage*

Add **lazy.nvim** to the top of your `init.lua`

>
    -- You can use a lua module that contains your plugins.
    -- All sub modules of the lua module will also be automatically loaded
    -- This is the preferred setup so your plugin specs can be properly cached.
    require("lazy").setup("config.plugins", {
      -- add any optional configuration options here
    })
    
    -- Alternatively you can specify a plugin list
    require("lazy").setup({
        "folke/neodev.nvim",
        "folke/which-key.nvim",
        { "folke/neoconf.nvim", cmd = "Neoconf" },
      }, {
      -- add any optional configuration options here
    })

CONFIGURATION                                        *lazy.nvim-configuration*

**lazy.nvim** comes with the following defaults:

>
    {
      root = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy", -- directory where plugins will be installed
      defaults = {
        lazy = false, -- should plugins be lazy-loaded?
        version = nil,
        -- version = "", -- enable this to try installing the latest stable versions of plugins
      },
      lockfile = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/lazy-lock.json", -- lockfile generated after running update.
      concurrency = nil, ---@type number limit the maximum amount of concurrent tasks

        -- defaults for the `Lazy log` command

        log = { "--since=1 days ago" }, -- show commits from the last 3 days
        timeout = 120, -- kill processes that take more than 2 minutes
        url_format = "https://github.com/%s.git",
      },
      dev = {
        -- directory where you store your local plugin projects
        path = vim.fn.expand("~/projects"),
        ---@type string[] plugins that match these patterns will use your local versions instead of being fetched from GitHub
        patterns = {}, -- For example {"folke"}
      },
      install = {
        -- install missing plugins on startup. This doesn't increase startup time.
        missing = true,
        -- try to load one of these colorschemes when starting an installation during startup
        colorscheme = { "habamax" },
      },

        -- The border to use for the UI window. Accepts same border values as |nvim_open_win()|.
        border = "none",
        icons = {

        },
        throttle = 20, -- how frequently should the ui process render events
      },
      checker = {
        -- automcatilly check for plugin updates
        enabled = false,
        concurrency = nil, ---@type number? set to 1 to check for updates very slowly
        notify = true, -- get a notification when new updates are found
        frequency = 3600, -- check for updates every hour
      },
      performance = {
        ---@type LazyCacheConfig
        cache = nil,
        reset_packpath = true, -- reset the package path to improve startup time
        rtp = {
          reset = true, -- reset the runtime path to $VIMRUNTIME and your config directory
          ---@type string[] list any plugins you want to disable here
          disabled_plugins = {
            -- "gzip",

DIFFERENCES WITH PACKER                    *lazy.nvim-differences-with-packer*


- **Plugin Spec**:
    - `setup` => `init`
    - `requires` => `dependencies`
    - `as` => `name`
    - `opt` => `lazy`
    - `run` => `build`
