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.

|
||
- 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** (needs to be built with **LuaJIT**)
|
||
- Built for **Linux** and **MacOS**
|
||
- Git >= **2.19.0** (for partial clones support)
|
||
|
||
|
||
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",
|
||
"git@github.com:folke/lazy.nvim.git",
|
||
lazypath,
|
||
})
|
||
end
|
||
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
})
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It is recommended to run `:checkhealth lazy` after installation
|
||
|
||

||
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.
|
||
|
||
You can configure **lazy.nvim** to lazy-load all plugins by default with
|
||
`config.defaults.lazy = true`.
|
||
|
||
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`.
|
||
|
||
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 `cmd` key
|
||
- it defines an `init` method
|
||
- `config.defaults.lazy == true`
|
||
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
|
||
- :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.

EXAMPLES ~
|
||
|
||
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.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.

USAGE *lazy.nvim-usage*
|
||
|
||
You can manage all your plugins with the main `:Lazy` command. Alternatively
|
||
you can start any operation with a specific command, sub command or API
|
||
function:
|
||
|
||
│ Command │ Lua │ Description │
|
||
│:Lazy home │require("lazy").home() │Go back to plugin list │
|
||
│:Lazy install [plugins] │require("lazy").install(plugins?) │Install missing plugins │
|
||
│:Lazy update [plugins] │require("lazy").update(plugins?) │Update all plugins. This will also update the lockfile │
|
||
│:Lazy sync │require("lazy").sync() │Run install, clean and update │
|
||
│:Lazy clean [plugins] │require("lazy").clean(plugins?) │Clean plugins that are no longer needed │
|
||
│:Lazy check [plugins] │require("lazy").check(plugins?) │Check for updates and show the log (git fetch) │
|
||
│:Lazy log [plugins] │require("lazy").log(plugins?) │Show recent updates for all plugins │
|
||
│:Lazy restore [plugins] │require("lazy").restore(plugins?) │Updates all plugins to the state in the lockfile │
|
||
│:Lazy profile │require("lazy").profile() │Show detailed profiling │
|
||
│:Lazy debug │require("lazy").debug() │Show debug information │
|
||
│:Lazy help │require("lazy").help() │Toggle this help page │
|
||
│:Lazy clear │require("lazy").clear() │Clear finished tasks │
|
||
│:Lazy load {plugins} │require("lazy").load(plugins) │Load a plugin that has not been loaded yet. Similar to :packadd. Like :Lazy load foo.nvim │
|
||
|
||
|
||
LOCKFILE `LAZY-LOCK.JSON` *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.
|
||
|
||
On the other machine, you can do `Lazy restore`, to update all your plugins to
|
||
the version from the lockfile
|
||
|
||
PROFILER *lazy.nvim-profiler*
|
||
|
||
The profiling view shows you why and how long it took to load your plugins.

STARTUP SEQUENCE *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 files from `/plugin` and `/ftdetect` directories in you rtp are sourced (excluding `/after`)
|
||
2. all plugins with `lazy=false` are loaded. This includes sourcing `/plugin` and `/ftdetect` files. (`/after` will not be sourced yet)
|
||
3. all plugins’ `/after/plugin` files are sourced
|
||
4. all `/after/plugin` files from the original rtp are sourced
|
||
5. all the plugins’ `init()` functions are executed
|
||
|
||
|
||
Files from runtime directories are always sourced in alphabetical order.
|
||
|
||
DIFFERENCES WITH PACKER *lazy.nvim-differences-with-packer*
|
||
|
||
|
||
- **Plugin Spec**:
|
||
- `setup` => `init`
|
||
- `requires` => `dependencies`
|
||
- `as` => `name`
|
||
- `opt` => `lazy`
|
||
- `run` => `build`
|
||
- `lock` => `pin`
|
||
- `module` is auto-loaded. No need to specify
|
||
|
||
|
||
UNINSTALLING *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.
