|
|
|
|
**lazy.nvim** is a modern plugin manager for Neovim.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## ✨ 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
|
|
- 📚 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
|
|
|
|
## ⚡️ 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
|
|
|
|
You can use the following Lua code 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",
|
|
"--single-branch",
|
|
"git@github.com:folke/lazy.nvim.git",
|
|
lazypath,
|
|
})
|
|
end
|
|
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- bootstrap: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
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|

## 🚀 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:
|
|
|
|
<!-- commands:start -->
|
|
|
|
| Command | Lua | Key Mapping | Description |

|
|
| `:Lazy install` or `:LazyInstall` | `require("lazy").install()` | `<I>` | Install missing plugins |
|
|
| `:Lazy update` or `:LazyUpdate` | `require("lazy").update()` | `<U>` | Update all plugins. This will also update the lockfile |
|
|
| `:Lazy sync` or `:LazySync` | `require("lazy").sync()` | `<S>` | Run install, clean and update |
|
|
| `:Lazy clean` or `:LazyClean` | `require("lazy").clean()` | `<X>` | Clean plugins that are no longer needed |
|
|
| `:Lazy check` or `:LazyCheck` | `require("lazy").check()` | `<C>` | Check for updates and show the log (git fetch) |
|
|
| `:Lazy log` or `:LazyLog` | `require("lazy").log()` | `<L>` | Show recent updates for all plugins |
|
|
| `:Lazy restore` or `:LazyRestore` | `require("lazy").restore()` | `<R>` | Updates all plugins to the state in the lockfile |
|
|
| `:Lazy profile` or `:LazyProfile` | `require("lazy").profile()` | `<P>` | Show detailed profiling |
|
|
| `:Lazy debug` or `:LazyDebug` | `require("lazy").debug()` | `<D>` | Show debug information |
|
|
| `:Lazy help` or `:LazyHelp` | `require("lazy").help()` | `<?>` | Toggle this help page |
|
|
| `:Lazy clear` or `:LazyClear` | `require("lazy").clear()` | | Clear finished tasks |
|
|
|
|
<!-- commands:end -->
|
|
|
|
## 📊 Profiler
|
|
|
|
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 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
|
|
|
|
- **Plugin Spec**:
|
|
|
|
- `setup` => `init`
|
|
- `requires` => `dependencies`
|
|
- `as` => `name`
|
|
- `opt` => `lazy`
|
|
- `run` => `build`
|
|
- `lock` => `pin`
|
|
- `module` is auto-loaded. No need to specify
|
