lazy.nvim/TODO.md

✅ TODO

• fancy UI to manage all your Neovim plugins

• auto lazy-loading of lua modules

• lazy-loading on events, commands, filetypes and key mappings

• Partial clones instead of shallow clones

• waits till missing deps are installed (bootstrap Neovim and start using it right away)

• Async

• No need to manually compile

• Fast. Automatically caches and compiles byte code of all lua modules needed during startup

• Correct sequencing of dependencies (deps should always be opt. Maybe make everything opt?)

• Config in multiple files

• dev option and patterns for local packages

• Profiling

• lockfile lazy-lock.json

• upvalues in config & init

• automatically check for updates

• commit, branch, tag, version and full semver support

• statusline component to see number of pending updates

• semver https://devhints.io/semver

• auto-loading on completion for lazy-loaded commands

• bootstrap code

• Background update checker

• health checks: check merge conflicts async

  • unsupported props or props from other managers
  • other packages still in site?
  • other package manager artifacts still present? compiled etc

• status page showing running handlers and cache stats

• temp colorscheme used during startup when installing missing plugins

• automatically reloads when config changes are detected

• handlers imply opt

• dependencies imply opt for deps

• show spec errors in health

• fix plugin details

• show disabled plugins (strikethrough?)

• log file

• git tests

• Import specs from other plugin managers

• packspec

  • add support to specify engines, os and cpu like in package.json
  • semver merging. Should check if two or more semver ranges are compatible and calculate the union range
    • default semver merging strategy: if no version matches all, then use highest version?
  • package meta index (package.lua cache for all packages)

• check in cache if rtp files match

• I think the installation section, specifically the loading part, could use an extra sentence or two. I was confused on what config.plugins was initially. Maybe a quick, "for example, if you have a lua file ~/.config/nvim/lua/config/plugins.lua that returns a table" or something it'd remove most question marks I think.

• When autoinstalling the plugins the cursor isn't focused on the floating window, but on the non-floating window in the background.

• Doing :Lazy clean doesn't show which plugins were removed.

• Shouldn't the "Versioning" section be in the "Lockfile" chapter?

• Why are personal dotfiles used as examples? Dotfiles change all the time, there's no guarantee this will be relevant or even exist in two years.

• What's the difference between lazy-loading and verylazy-loading?

• Most emojis in "Configuration" aren't shown for me.

• add section on how to uninstall

• add :Packadd command or something similar

Typos:

• automcatilly check for plugin updates
• A custom name for the plugin used for the local plugin directory and as the dispay name
• local plugins need to be explicitely configured with dir
