- 💪 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](https://devhints.io/semver) support
- 📈 Statusline component to see the number of pending updates
- 🎨 Automatically lazy-loads colorschemes
## ⚡️ Requirements
- Neovim >= **0.8.0** (needs to be built with **LuaJIT**)
- Git >= **2.19.0** (for partial clones support)
- a [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) **_(optional)_**
## 📦 Installation
You can add the following Lua code to your `init.lua` to bootstrap **lazy.nvim**
<!-- bootstrap:start -->
```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",
"--branch=stable", -- remove this if you want to bootstrap to HEAD
"https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
lazypath,
})
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
```
<!-- bootstrap:end -->
Next step is to add **lazy.nvim** to the top of your `init.lua`
```lua
require("lazy").setup(plugins, opts)
```
- **plugins**: this should be a `table` or a `string`
- `table`: a list with your [Plugin Spec](#-plugin-spec)
- `string`: a Lua module name that contains your [Plugin Spec](#-plugin-spec). See [Structuring Your Plugins](#-structuring-your-plugins)
- **opts**: see [Configuration](#%EF%B8%8F-configuration) **_(optional)_**
```lua
-- example using a list of specs with the default options
vim.g.mapleader = " " -- make sure to set `mapleader` before lazy so your mappings are correct
require("lazy").setup({
"folke/which-key.nvim",
{ "folke/neoconf.nvim", cmd = "Neoconf" },
"folke/neodev.nvim",
})
```
ℹ️ It is recommended to run `:checkhealth lazy` after installation
## 🔌 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():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 |
| **config** | `fun(LazyPlugin)` or `true` or `table` | `config` is executed when the plugin loads. You can also set to `true` or pass a `table`, that will be passed to `require("plugin").setup(opts)` |
| **build** | `fun(LazyPlugin)` or `string` or a list of build commands | `build` is executed when a plugin is installed or updated. 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 |
| **branch** | `string?` | Branch of the repository |
| **tag** | `string?` | Tag of the repository |
| **commit** | `string?` | Commit of the repository |
| **version** | `string?` | Version to use from the repository. Full [Semver](https://devhints.io/semver) ranges are supported |
| **pin** | `boolean?` | When `true`, this plugin will not be included in updates |
| **event** | `string?` or `string[]` | Lazy-load on event. Events can be specified as `BufEnter` or with a pattern like `BufEnter *.lua` |
| **cmd** | `string?` or `string[]` | Lazy-load on command |
| **ft** | `string?` or `string[]` | Lazy-load on filetype |
| **keys** | `string?` or `string[]` or `LazyKeys[]` | Lazy-load on key mapping |
| **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. |
### Lazy Loading
**lazy.nvim** automagically lazy-loads Lua modules, so it is not needed to
specify `module=...` everywhere in your plugin specification. This mean 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`:
- the plugin 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"`)_**
- 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 = {
{ "<leader>ft", "<cmd>Neotree toggle<cr>", 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](https://semver.org/) ranges.
<details>
<summary>Click to see some examples</summary>
- `*`: 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
</details>
You can set `config.defaults.version = "*"` to install the latest stable
version of plugins that support Semver.

## 🚀 Usage
Plugins are managed with the `:Lazy` command.
Open the help with `<?>` to see all the key mappings.
You can press `<CR>` on a plugin to show its details. Most properties
can be hovered with `<K>` 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:
<!-- commands:start -->
| Command | Lua | Description |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `: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 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` |
| `:Lazy log [plugins]` | `require("lazy").log(opts?)` | Show recent updates |
| `:Lazy profile` | `require("lazy").profile()` | Show detailed profiling |
| `: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 |
<!-- commands:end -->
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()`):
<!-- stats:start -->
```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.
startuptime_cputime = false,
count = 0, -- total number of plugins
loaded = 0, -- number of loaded plugins
}
```
<!-- stats:end -->
**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.
<details>
<summary>Example of configuring <a href="https://github.com/nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim">lualine.nvim</a></summary>
```lua
require("lualine").setup({
sections = {
lualine_x = {
{
require("lazy.status").updates,
cond = require("lazy.status").has_updates,
color = { fg = "#ff9e64" },
},
},
},
})
```
</details>
### 📆 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
- **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`
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
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](https://github.com/lewis6991/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.

## ▶️ 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](https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#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 inludes `/after` from plugins)
Files from runtime directories are always sourced in alphabetical order.
## 📂 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 my personal dots:
- [init.lua](https://github.com/folke/dot/blob/master/config/nvim/init.lua) where I require `config.lazy`
- [config.lazy](https://github.com/folke/dot/blob/master/config/nvim/lua/config/lazy.lua) where I bootstrap and setup **lazy.nvim**
- [config.plugins](https://github.com/folke/dot/blob/master/config/nvim/lua/config/plugins/init.lua) is my main plugin config module
- Any submodule of [config.plugins (submodules)](https://github.com/folke/dot/tree/master/config/nvim/lua/config/plugins) will be automatically loaded as well.
## 📦 Migration Guide
### [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)
- `setup` ➡️ `init`
- `requires` ➡️ `dependencies`
- `as` ➡️ `name`
- `opt` ➡️ `lazy`
- `run` ➡️ `build`
- `lock` ➡️ `pin`
- `disable=true` ➡️ `enabled = false`
- `tag='*'` ➡️ `version="*"`
- `after` ℹ️ **_not needed_** for most use-cases. Use `dependencies` otherwise.
- `wants` ℹ️ **_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 [different](#%EF%B8%8F-lazy-key-mappings)
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.

- `as` ➡️ `name`
- `opt` ➡️ `lazy`
- `run` ➡️ `build`
## ❌ 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.
