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
- 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 <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**
>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",
"https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
lazypath,
})
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)
end
<
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
})
