PLUGIN SPEC *lazy.nvim-lazy.nvim-plugin-spec* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Property Type Description -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ [1] string? Short plugin url. Will be expanded using config.git.url_format dir string? A directory pointing to a local plugin url string? A custom git url where the plugin is hosted name string? A custom name for the plugin used for the local plugin directory and as the display name dev boolean? When true, a local plugin directory will be used instead. See config.dev lazy boolean? When true, the plugin will only be loaded when needed. Lazy-loaded plugins are automatically loaded when their Lua modules are required, or when one of the lazy-loading handlers triggers enabled boolean? or fun():boolean When false, or if the function returns false, then this plugin will not be included in the spec cond boolean? or fun(LazyPlugin):boolean When false, or if the function returns false, then this plugin will not be loaded. Useful to disable some plugins in vscode, or firenvim for example. dependencies LazySpec[] A list of plugin names or plugin specs that should be loaded when the plugin loads. Dependencies are always lazy-loaded unless specified otherwise. When specifying a name, make sure the plugin spec has been defined somewhere else. init fun(LazyPlugin) init functions are always executed during startup opts table or fun(LazyPlugin, opts:table) opts should be a table (will be merged with parent specs), return a table (replaces parent specs) or should change a table. The table will be passed to the Plugin.config() function. Setting this value will imply Plugin.config() config fun(LazyPlugin, opts:table) or true config is executed when the plugin loads. The default implementation will automatically run require(MAIN).setup(opts). Lazy uses several heuristics to determine the plugin’s MAIN module automatically based on the plugin’s name. See also opts. To use the default implementation without opts set config to true. main string? You can specify the main module to use for config() and opts(), in case it can not be determined automatically. See config() build fun(LazyPlugin) or string or a list of build commands build is executed when a plugin is installed or updated. Before running build, a plugin is first loaded. If it’s a string it will be ran as a shell command. When prefixed with : it is a Neovim command. You can also specify a list to executed multiple build commands. Some plugins provide their own build.lua which is automatically used by lazy. So no need to specify a build step for those plugins. branch string? Branch of the repository tag string? Tag of the repository commit string? Commit of the repository version string? or false to override the default Version to use from the repository. Full Semver ranges are supported pin boolean? When true, this plugin will not be included in updates submodules boolean? When false, git submodules will not be fetched. Defaults to true event string? or string[] or Lazy-load on event. Events can be specified as fun(self:LazyPlugin, event:string[]):string[] BufEnter or with a pattern like BufEnter *.lua cmd string? or string[] or Lazy-load on command fun(self:LazyPlugin, cmd:string[]):string[] ft string? or string[] or Lazy-load on filetype fun(self:LazyPlugin, ft:string[]):string[] keys string? or string[] or LazyKeys[] or Lazy-load on key mapping fun(self:LazyPlugin, keys:string[]):(string \| LazyKeys)[] module false? Do not automatically load this Lua module when it’s required somewhere priority number? Only useful for start plugins (lazy=false) to force loading certain plugins first. Default priority is 50. It’s recommended to set this to a high number for colorschemes. optional boolean? When a spec is tagged optional, it will only be included in the final spec, when the same plugin has been specified at least once somewhere else without optional. This is mainly useful for Neovim distros, to allow setting options on plugins that may/may not be part of the user’s plugins ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAZY LOADING ~ **lazy.nvim** automagically lazy-loads Lua modules, so it is not needed to specify `module=...` everywhere in your plugin specification. This means that if you have a plugin `A` that is lazy-loaded and a plugin `B` that requires a module of plugin `A`, then plugin `A` will be loaded on demand as expected. If you don’t want this behavior for a certain plugin, you can specify that with `module=false`. You can then manually load the plugin with `:Lazy load foobar.nvim`. You can configure **lazy.nvim** to lazy-load all plugins by default with `config.defaults.lazy = true`. Additionally, you can also lazy-load on **events**, **commands**, **file types** and **key mappings**. Plugins will be lazy-loaded when one of the following is `true` - Theplugin only exists as a dependency in your spec - It has an `event`, `cmd`, `ft` or `keys` key - `config.defaults.lazy == true` COLORSCHEMES Colorscheme plugins can be configured with `lazy=true`. The plugin will automagically load when doing `colorscheme foobar`. **NOTE:** since **start** plugins can possibly change existing highlight groups, it’s important to make sure that your main **colorscheme** is loaded first. To ensure this you can use the `priority=1000` field. **(see the examples)** LAZY KEY MAPPINGS The `keys` property can be a `string` or `string[]` for simple normal-mode mappings, or it can be a `LazyKeys` table with the following key-value pairs: - **[1]**(`string`) lhs **(required)** - **[2]**(`string|fun()`) rhs **(optional)** - **mode**(`string|string[]`) mode **(optional, defaults to "n")** - **ft**(`string|string[]`) `filetype` for buffer-local keymaps **(optional)** - any other option valid for `vim.keymap.set` Key mappings will load the plugin the first time they get executed. When `[2]` is `nil`, then the real mapping has to be created by the `config()` function. >lua -- Example for neo-tree.nvim { "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim", keys = { { "ft", "Neotree toggle", desc = "NeoTree" }, }, config = function() require("neo-tree").setup() end, } < VERSIONING ~ If you want to install a specific revision of a plugin, you can use `commit`, `tag`, `branch`, `version`. The `version` property supports Semver ranges. Click to see some examples ~ - `*`latest stable version (this excludes pre-release versions) - `1.2.x`any version that starts with `1.2`, such as `1.2.0`, `1.2.3`, etc. - `^1.2.3`any version that is compatible with `1.2.3`, such as `1.3.0`, `1.4.5`, etc., but not `2.0.0`. - `~1.2.3`any version that is compatible with `1.2.3`, such as `1.2.4`, `1.2.5`, but not `1.3.0`. - `>1.2.3`any version that is greater than `1.2.3`, such as `1.3.0`, `1.4.5`, etc. - `>=1.2.3`any version that is greater than or equal to `1.2.3`, such as `1.2.3`, `1.3.0`, `1.4.5`, etc. - `<1.2.3`any version that is less than `1.2.3`, such as `1.1.0`, `1.0.5`, etc. - `<=1.2.3`any version that is less than or equal to `1.2.3`, such as `1.2.3`, `1.1.0`, `1.0.5`, etc You can set `config.defaults.version = "*"` to install the latest stable version of plugins that support Semver.

Open the help with `` to see all the key mappings. You can press `` on a plugin to show its details. Most properties can be hovered with `` to open links, help files, readmes, git commits and git issues. Lazy can automatically check for updates in the background. This feature can be enabled with `config.checker.enabled = true`. Any operation can be started from the UI, with a sub command or an API function: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Command Lua Description ------------------------- -------------------------------- ----------------------- :Lazy build {plugins} require("lazy").build(opts) Rebuild a plugin :Lazy check [plugins] require("lazy").check(opts?) Check for updates and show the log (git fetch) :Lazy clean [plugins] require("lazy").clean(opts?) Clean plugins that are no longer needed :Lazy clear require("lazy").clear() Clear finished tasks :Lazy debug require("lazy").debug() Show debug information :Lazy health require("lazy").health() Run :checkhealth lazy :Lazy help require("lazy").help() Toggle this help page :Lazy home require("lazy").home() Go back to plugin list :Lazy install [plugins] require("lazy").install(opts?) Install missing plugins :Lazy load {plugins} require("lazy").load(opts) Load a plugin that has not been loaded yet. Similar to :packadd. Like :Lazy load foo.nvim. Use :Lazy! load to skip cond checks. :Lazy log [plugins] require("lazy").log(opts?) Show recent updates :Lazy profile require("lazy").profile() Show detailed profiling :Lazy reload {plugins} require("lazy").reload(opts) Reload a plugin (experimental!!) :Lazy restore [plugins] require("lazy").restore(opts?) Updates all plugins to the state in the lockfile. For a single plugin: restore it to the state in the lockfile or to a given commit under the cursor :Lazy sync [plugins] require("lazy").sync(opts?) Run install, clean and update :Lazy update [plugins] require("lazy").update(opts?) Update plugins. This will also update the lockfile ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any command can have a **bang** to make the command wait till it finished. For example, if you want to sync lazy from the cmdline, you can use: >shell $ nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa < `opts` is a table with the following key-values: - **wait**when true, then the call will wait till the operation completed - **show**when false, the UI will not be shown - **plugins**a list of plugin names to run the operation on - **concurrency**limit the `number` of concurrently running tasks Stats API (`require("lazy").stats()`): >lua { -- startuptime in milliseconds till UIEnter startuptime = 0, -- when true, startuptime is the accurate cputime for the Neovim process. (Linux & Macos) -- this is more accurate than `nvim --startuptime`, and as such will be slightly higher -- when false, startuptime is calculated based on a delta with a timestamp when lazy started. real_cputime = false, count = 0, -- total number of plugins loaded = 0, -- number of loaded plugins ---@type table times = {}, } < **lazy.nvim** provides a statusline component that you can use to show the number of pending updates. Make sure to enable `config.checker.enabled = true` to make this work. Example of configuring lualine.nvim ~ >lua require("lualine").setup({ sections = { lualine_x = { { require("lazy.status").updates, cond = require("lazy.status").has_updates, color = { fg = "#ff9e64" }, }, }, }, }) < USER EVENTS ~ The following user events will be triggered: - **LazyDone**when lazy has finished starting up and loaded your config - **LazySync**after running sync - **LazyInstall**after an install - **LazyUpdate**after an update - **LazyClean**after a clean - **LazyCheck**after checking for updates - **LazyLog**after running log - **LazyLoad**after loading a plugin. The `data` attribute will contain the plugin name. - **LazySyncPre**before running sync - **LazyInstallPre**before an install - **LazyUpdatePre**before an update - **LazyCleanPre**before a clean - **LazyCheckPre**before checking for updates - **LazyLogPre**before running log - **LazyReload**triggered by change detection after reloading plugin specs - **VeryLazy**triggered after `LazyDone` and processing `VimEnter` auto commands - **LazyVimStarted**triggered after `UIEnter` when `require("lazy").stats().startuptime` has been calculated. Useful to update the startuptime on your dashboard. LOCKFILE LAZY-LOCK.JSON *lazy.nvim-lazy.nvim-lockfile-lazy-lock.json* After every **update**, the local lockfile is updated with the installed revisions. It is recommended to have this file under version control. If you use your Neovim config on multiple machines, using the lockfile, you can ensure that the same version of every plugin is installed. If you are on another machine, you can do `:Lazy restore`, to update all your plugins to the version from the lockfile. PERFORMANCE *lazy.nvim-lazy.nvim-performance* Great care has been taken to make the startup code (`lazy.core`) as efficient as possible. During startup, all Lua files used before `VimEnter` or `BufReadPre` are byte-compiled and cached, similar to what impatient.nvim does. My config for example loads in about `11ms` with `93` plugins. I do a lot of lazy-loading though :) **lazy.nvim** comes with an advanced profiler `:Lazy profile` to help you improve performance. The profiling view shows you why and how long it took to load your plugins. DEBUG *lazy.nvim-lazy.nvim-debug* See an overview of active lazy-loading handlers and what’s in the module cache. STARTUP SEQUENCE *lazy.nvim-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: 1. All the plugins’ `init()` functions are executed 2. All plugins with `lazy=false` are loaded. This includes sourcing `/plugin` and `/ftdetect` files. (`/after` will not be sourced yet) 3. All files from `/plugin` and `/ftdetect` directories in you rtp are sourced (excluding `/after`) 4. All `/after/plugin` files are sourced (this includes `/after` from plugins) Files from runtime directories are always sourced in alphabetical order. STRUCTURING YOUR PLUGINS *lazy.nvim-lazy.nvim-structuring-your-plugins* Some users may want to split their plugin specs in multiple files. Instead of passing a spec table to `setup()`, you can use a Lua module. The specs from the **module** and any top-level **sub-modules** will be merged together in the final spec, so it is not needed to add `require` calls in your main plugin file to the other files. The benefits of using this approach: - Simple to **add** new plugin specs. Just create a new file in your plugins module. - Allows for **caching** of all your plugin specs. This becomes important if you have a lot of smaller plugin specs. - Spec changes will automatically be **reloaded** when they’re updated, so the `:Lazy` UI is always up to date. Example: - `~/.config/nvim/init.lua` >lua require("lazy").setup("plugins") < - `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua` or `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua` **(this file is optional)** >lua return { "folke/neodev.nvim", "folke/which-key.nvim", { "folke/neoconf.nvim", cmd = "Neoconf" }, } < - Any lua file in `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/*.lua` will be automatically merged in the main plugin spec For a real-life example, you can check LazyVim and more specifically: - lazyvim.plugins contains all the plugin specs that will be loaded IMPORTING SPECS, CONFIG & OPTS ~ As part of a spec, you can add `import` statements to import additional plugin modules. Both of the `setup()` calls are equivalent: >lua require("lazy").setup("plugins") -- Same as: require("lazy").setup({{import = "plugins"}}) < To import multiple modules from a plugin, add additional specs for each import. For example, to import LazyVim core plugins and an optional plugin: >lua require("lazy").setup({ spec = { { "LazyVim/LazyVim", import = "lazyvim.plugins" }, { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.coding.copilot" }, } }) < When you import specs, you can override them by simply adding a spec for the same plugin to your local specs, adding any keys you want to override / merge. `opts`, `dependencies`, `cmd`, `event`, `ft` and `keys` are always merged with the parent spec. Any other property will override the property from the parent spec. MIGRATION GUIDE *lazy.nvim-lazy.nvim-migration-guide* PACKER.NVIM ~ - `setup` `init` - `requires` `dependencies` - `as` `name` - `opt` `lazy` - `run` `build` - `lock` `pin` - `disable=true` `enabled = false` - `tag='*'` `version="*"` - `after` **not needed** for most use-cases. Use `dependencies` otherwise. - `wants` **not needed** for most use-cases. Use `dependencies` otherwise. - `config` don’t support string type, use `fun(LazyPlugin)` instead. - `module` is auto-loaded. No need to specify - `keys` spec is |lazy.nvim-different| - `rtp` can be accomplished with: >lua config = function(plugin) vim.opt.rtp:append(plugin.dir .. "/custom-rtp") end < With packer `wants`, `requires` and `after` can be used to manage dependencies. With lazy, this isn’t needed for most of the Lua dependencies. They can be installed just like normal plugins (even with `lazy=true`) and will be loaded when other plugins need them. The `dependencies` key can be used to group those required plugins with the one that requires them. The plugins which are added as `dependencies` will always be lazy-loaded and loaded when the plugin is loaded. PAQ-NVIM ~ - `as` `name` - `opt` `lazy` - `run` `build` UNINSTALLING *lazy.nvim-lazy.nvim-uninstalling* To uninstall **lazy.nvim**, you need to remove the following files and directories: - **data**`~/.local/share/nvim/lazy` - **state**`~/.local/state/nvim/lazy` - **lockfile**`~/.config/nvim/lazy-lock.json` Paths can differ if you changed `XDG` environment variables.

This file will be loaded when the plugin is installed or updated. This makes it easier for users, so they no longer need to specify a `build` command.
