lazy.nvim

✨ Features

• Partial clones instead of shallow clones
• waits till missing deps are installed (bootstrap Neovim and start using it right away)
• Async
• No need for compile
• Fast
• Correct sequencing of dependencies (deps should always be opt. Maybe make everything opt?)
• Import specs from Packer
• Config in multiple files
• Patterns for local packages
• Profiling
• lockfile
• upvalues in config & init
• check for updates
• package.lua
• package-lock.lua
• tag/version support git tag --sort version:refname
• auto-loading on completion for lazy-loaded commands
• bootstrap code
• semver https://devhints.io/semver https://semver.npmjs.com/

✅ TODO

• health checks: check merge conflicts async
• allow setting up plugins through config
• support for Plugin.lock
• defaults for git log
• view keybindings for update/clean/...
• add profiler to view
• add buttons for actions
• show time taken for op in view
• package meta index (package.lua cache for all packages)
• auto lazy-loading of lua modules
• use uv file watcher to check for config changes
• clear errors
• add support for versions git tag --sort v:refname
• rename requires to dependencies
• move tasks etc to Plugin.state
• handlers imply opt
• dependencies imply opt for deps
• fix local plugin spec
• investigate all opt=true. Simplifies logic (easily switch between opt/start afterwards)
• add support to specify engines, os and cpu like in package.json

📦 Differences with Packer

• Plugin Spec:

  • setup => init
  • requires => dependencies
  • as => name
