## ✨ Features
- 📦 Manage all your Neovim plugins with a fancy UI
- 🚀 Fast startup: Automatically caches and compiles byte code of all lua modules needed during startup
- 💾 Partial clones instead of shallow clones
- 🔌 Auto lazy-loading of lua modules
- 📆 Lazy-loading on events, commands, filetypes and key mappings
- ⏳ Automatically installs missing plugins before starting up so you can start using Neovim right away
- 💪 Async execution for improved performance
- 🛠️ No need to manually compile plugins
- 🧪 Correct sequencing of dependencies
- 📁 Configurable in multiple files
- 💻 Dev option and patterns for using local plugin
- 📊 Profiling tools to optimize performance
- 🔒 Lockfile `lazy-lock.json` to keep track of installed plugin versions
- 🔎 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**
## 📦 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
```
## Profiler
The profiling view shows you why and how long it took to load your plugins.

## 📦 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
