FEATURES *lazy.nvim-features* - Manage all your Neovim plugins with a sleek and intuitive UI - Fast startup times thanks to automatic caching and bytecode compilation of lua modules. - Partial clones instead of shallow clones - Automatic lazy-loading of lua modules and lazy-loading on events, commands, filetypes, and key mappings. - Automatically install missing plugins before starting up Neovim, allowing you to start using it right away. - Async execution for improved performance - No need to manually compile plugins - Correct sequencing of dependencies - Configurable in multiple files - Generates helptags of the headings in `README.md` files for plugins that don’t have vimdocs - Dev options and patterns for using local plugins - Profiling tools to optimize performance - Lockfile `lazy-lock.json` to keep track of installed plugins - Automatically check for updates - Commit, branch, tag, version, and full 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** >lua 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", "git@github.com:folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath, }) end vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath) < Next step is to add **lazy.nvim** to the top of your `init.lua` >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 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 here }) < PLUGIN SPEC *lazy.nvim-plugin-spec* │ Property │ Type │ Description │ │[1] │string? │Short plugin url.

STARTUP SEQUENCE *lazy.nvim-startup-sequence* **lazy.nvim** does **NOT** use Neovim packages and even disables plugin loading completely (`vim.go.loadplugins = false`). It takes over the complete startup sequence for more flexibility and better performance. In practice this means that step 10 of |Neovim Initialization| is done by Lazy. DIFFERENCES WITH PACKER *lazy.nvim-differences-with-packer* - **Plugin Spec**: - `setup` => `init` - `requires` => `dependencies` - `as` => `name` - `opt` => `lazy` - `run` => `build` - `lock` => `pin` - `module` is auto-loaded. No need to specify OTHER NEOVIM PLUGIN MANAGERS IN LUA*lazy.nvim-other-neovim-plugin-managers-in-lua* - packer.nvim - paq-nvim - neopm - dep - optpack.nvim - pact.nvim Generated by panvimdoc vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:
