1. 📰 What’s new? *lazy.nvim-📰-what’s-new?*
|
||
|
||
|
||
11.X *lazy.nvim-📰-what’s-new?-11.x*
|
||
|
||
- **New Website**: There’s a whole new website with a fresh look and improved
|
||
documentation. Check it out at <https://lazy.folke.io>. The GitHub `README.md`
|
||
has been updated to point to the new website. The `vimdoc` contains all the
|
||
information that is available on the website.
|
||
- **Spec Resolution & Merging**: the code that resolves a final spec from a
|
||
plugin’s fragments has been rewritten. This should be a tiny bit faster, but
|
||
more importantly, fixes some issues and is easier to maintain.
|
||
- Packages <https://lazy.folke.io/packages> can now specify their dependencies
|
||
and configuration using one of:
|
||
- **Lazy**: `lazy.lua` file
|
||
- **Rockspec**: luarocks <https://luarocks.org/> `*-scm-1.rockspec` file <https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Rockspec-format>
|
||
- **Packspec**: `pkg.json` (experimental, since the format <https://github.com/neovim/packspec/issues/41> is not quite there yet)
|
||
Related _lazy.nvim_ options:
|
||
>lua
|
||
{
|
||
pkg = {
|
||
enabled = true,
|
||
cache = vim.fn.stdpath("state") .. "/lazy/pkg-cache.lua",
|
||
-- the first package source that is found for a plugin will be used.
|
||
sources = {
|
||
"lazy",
|
||
"rockspec", -- will only be used when rocks.enabled is true
|
||
"packspec",
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
rocks = {
|
||
enabled = true,
|
||
root = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy-rocks",
|
||
server = "https://nvim-neorocks.github.io/rocks-binaries/",
|
||
},
|
||
}
|
||
<
|
||
- Installing neorg <https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg> is now as simple as:
|
||
>lua
|
||
{ "nvim-neorg/neorg", opts = {} }
|
||
<
|
||
- Packages are not limited to just Neovim plugins. You can install any
|
||
**luarocks** package, like:
|
||
>lua
|
||
{ "https://github.com/lubyk/yaml" }
|
||
<
|
||
Luarocks packages without a `/lua` directory are never lazy-loaded, since
|
||
it’s just a library.
|
||
- `build` functions or `*.lua` build files (like `build.lua`) now run
|
||
asynchronously. You can use `coroutine.yield(status_msg)` to show progress.
|
||
Yielding will also schedule the next `resume` to run in the next tick, so you
|
||
can do long-running tasks without blocking Neovim.

|
||
|
||
|
||
==============================================================================
|
||
3. 🛠️ Installation *lazy.nvim-🛠️-installation*
|
||
|
||
There are multiple ways to install **lazy.nvim**. The **Structured Setup** is
|
||
the recommended way, but you can also use the **Single File Setup** if you
|
||
prefer to keep everything in your `init.lua`.
|
||
|
||
Please refer to the Configuration </configuration> section for an overview of
|
||
all available options.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
STRUCTURED SETUP *lazy.nvim-🛠️-installation-structured-setup*
|
||
|
||
>lua
|
||
require("config.lazy")
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
>lua
|
||
-- Bootstrap lazy.nvim
|
||
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
|
||
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
|
||
local lazyrepo = "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git"
|
||
vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "--branch=stable", lazyrepo, lazypath })
|
||
end
|
||
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
|
||
|
||
-- Make sure to setup `mapleader` and `maplocalleader` before
|
||
-- loading lazy.nvim so that mappings are correct.
|
||
-- This is also a good place to setup other settings (vim.opt)
|
||
vim.g.mapleader = " "
|
||
vim.g.maplocalleader = "\\"
|
||
|
||
-- Setup lazy.nvim
|
||
require("lazy").setup({
|
||
-- highlight-start
|
||
spec = {
|
||
-- import your plugins
|
||
{ import = "plugins" },
|
||
},
|
||
-- highlight-end
|
||
-- Configure any other settings here. See the documentation for more details.
|
||
-- colorscheme that will be used when installing plugins.
|
||
install = { colorscheme = { "habamax" } },
|
||
-- automatically check for plugin updates
|
||
checker = { enabled = true },
|
||
})
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
You can then create your plugin specs in `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/`. Each
|
||
file should return a table with the plugins you want to install.

|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Property Type Description
|
||
---------- ---------- -------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
[1] string? Short plugin url. Will be expanded using
|
||
config.git.url_format. Can also be a url or dir.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
A valid spec should define one of `[1]`, `dir` or `url`.
|

|
||
|
||
SPEC LOADING *lazy.nvim-🔌-plugin-spec-spec-loading*
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Property Type Description
|
||
-------------- ------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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 Behaves the same as enabled, but won’t uninstall the
|
||
fun(LazyPlugin):boolean plugin when the condition is false. Useful to disable
|
||
some plugins in vscode, or firenvim for example.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
SPEC SETUP *lazy.nvim-🔌-plugin-spec-spec-setup*
|
||
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Property Type Description
|
||
---------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
init fun(LazyPlugin) init functions are always executed during startup
|
||
|
||
opts table or opts should be a table (will be merged with parent specs),
|
||
fun(LazyPlugin, opts:table) return a table (replaces parent specs) or should change a
|
||
table. The table will be passed to the Plugin.config()
|
||
function. Setting this value will imply Plugin.config()
|
||
|
||
config fun(LazyPlugin, opts:table) config is executed when the plugin loads. The default
|
||
or true implementation will automatically run
|
||
require(MAIN).setup(opts) if opts or config = true is set.
|
||
Lazy uses several heuristics to determine the plugin’s MAIN
|
||
module automatically based on the plugin’s name. See also
|
||
opts. To use the default implementation without opts set
|
||
config to true.
|
||
|
||
main string? You can specify the main module to use for config() and
|
||
opts(), in case it can not be determined automatically. See
|
||
config()
|
||
|
||
build fun(LazyPlugin) or string or build is executed when a plugin is installed or updated.
|
||
a list of build commands See Building for more information.

|
||
Property Type Description
|
||
---------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
|
||
lazy boolean? When true, the plugin will only be
|

|
||
are automatically loaded when their Lua
|
||
modules are required, or when one of the
|
||
lazy-loading handlers triggers
|
||
|
||
event string? or string[] or Lazy-load on event. Events can be
|
||
fun(self:LazyPlugin, event:string[]):string[] or specified as BufEnter or with a pattern
|
||
{event:string[]\|string, pattern?:string[]\|string} like BufEnter *.lua
|
||
|
||
cmd string? or string[] or Lazy-load on command
|
||
fun(self:LazyPlugin, cmd:string[]):string[]
|
||
|
||
ft string? or string[] or Lazy-load on filetype
|
||
fun(self:LazyPlugin, ft:string[]):string[]
|
||
|
||
keys string? or string[] or LazyKeysSpec[] or Lazy-load on key mapping
|
||
fun(self:LazyPlugin, keys:string[]):(string \| LazyKeysSpec)[]

|
||
branch string? Branch of the repository
|
||
|
||
tag string? Tag of the repository
|
||
|
||
commit string? Commit of the repository
|
||
|
||
version string? or false to Version to use from the repository. Full
|
||
override the default Semver ranges are supported
|
||
|
||
pin boolean? When true, this plugin will not be included
|
||
in updates
|
||
|
||
submodules boolean? When false, git submodules will not be
|
||
fetched. Defaults to true
|
||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPEC ADVANCED *lazy.nvim-🔌-plugin-spec-spec-advanced*
|
||
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Property Type Description
|
||
---------- ---------- ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
optional boolean? When a spec is tagged optional, it will only be included in the
|
||
final spec, when the same plugin has been specified at least once
|
||
somewhere else without optional. This is mainly useful for Neovim
|
||
distros, to allow setting options on plugins that may/may not be
|
||
part of the user’s plugins.
|
||
|
||
specs LazySpec A list of plugin specs defined in the scope of the plugin. This is
|
||
mainly useful for Neovim distros, to allow setting options on
|
||
plugins that may/may not be part of the user’s plugins. When the
|
||
plugin is disabled, none of the scoped specs will be included in
|
||
the final spec. Similar to dependencies without the automatic
|
||
loading of the specs.
|
||
|
||
module false? Do not automatically load this Lua module when it’s required
|
||
somewhere
|
||
|
||
import string? Import the given spec module.

LAZY LOADING *lazy.nvim-🔌-plugin-spec-lazy-loading*
|
||
|
||
**lazy.nvim** automagically lazy-loads Lua modules. This means 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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
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`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
⌨️ LAZY KEY MAPPINGS ~
|
||
|
||
The `keys` property can be a `string` or `string[]` for simple normal-mode
|
||
mappings, or it can be a `LazyKeysSpec` table with the following key-value
|
||
pairs:
|
||
|
||
- **[1]**: (`string`) lhs **(required)**
|
||
- **[2]**: (`string|fun()`) rhs **(optional)**
|
||
- **mode**: (`string|string[]`) mode **(optional, defaults to "n")**
|
||
- **ft**: (`string|string[]`) `filetype` for buffer-local keymaps **(optional)**
|
||
- 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.

|
||
|
||
|
||
VERSIONING *lazy.nvim-🔌-plugin-spec-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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
EXAMPLES ~
|
||
|
||
- `*`: 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

|
||
5. 📦 Packages *lazy.nvim-📦-packages*
|
||
|
||
**lazy.nvim** supports three ways for plugins to define their dependencies and
|
||
configuration.
|
||
|
||
- **Lazy**: `lazy.lua` file
|
||
- **Rockspec**: luarocks <https://luarocks.org/> `*-scm-1.rockspec` file <https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Rockspec-format>
|
||
- **Packspec**: `pkg.json` (experimental, since the format <https://github.com/neovim/packspec/issues/41> is not quite there yet)
|
||
|
||
You can enable/disable package sources with `config.pkg.sources`
|
||
</configuration>. The order of sources is important, as the first source that
|
||
finds a package will be used.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
LAZY *lazy.nvim-📦-packages-lazy*
|
||
|
||
Using a `lazy.lua` file is the recommended way to define your plugin
|
||
dependencies and configuration. Syntax is the same as any plugin spec.
|
||
|
||
|
||
ROCKSPEC *lazy.nvim-📦-packages-rockspec*
|
||
|
||
When a plugin contains a `*-1.rockspec` file, **lazy.nvim** will automatically
|
||
build the rock and its dependencies.
|
||
|
||
A **rockspec** will only be used if one of the following is true:
|
||
|
||
- the package does not have a `/lua` directory
|
||
- the package has a complex build step
|
||
- the package has dependencies (excluding `lua`)
|
||
|
||
|
||
PACKSPEC *lazy.nvim-📦-packages-packspec*
|
||
|
||
Supports the pkg.json
|
||
<https://github.com/nvim-lua/nvim-package-specification/issues/41> format, with
|
||
a lazy extension in `lazy`. `lazy` can contain any valid lazy spec fields. They
|
||
will be added to the plugin’s spec.
|
||
|
||
|
||
==============================================================================
|
||
6. ⚙️ Configuration *lazy.nvim-⚙️-configuration*
|
||
|
||
**lazy.nvim** comes with the following defaults:
|
||
|
||
>lua

|
||
-- Only do this if you know what you are doing, as it can lead to unexpected behavior.
|
||
lazy = false, -- should plugins be lazy-loaded?
|
||
-- It's recommended to leave version=false for now, since a lot the plugin that support versioning,

7. 🚀 Usage *lazy.nvim-🚀-usage*
|
||
|
||
|
||
▶️ STARTUP SEQUENCE *lazy.nvim-🚀-usage-▶️-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 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 your rtp are sourced (excluding `/after`)
|
||
4. All `/after/plugin` files are sourced (this includes `/after` from plugins)
|
||
|
||
Files from runtime directories are always sourced in alphabetical order.
|
||
|
||
|
||
🚀 COMMANDS *lazy.nvim-🚀-usage-🚀-commands*
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
Command Lua Description
|
||
------------------------- -------------------------------- -----------------------
|
||
:Lazy build {plugins} require("lazy").build(opts) Rebuild a plugin
|
||
|
||
: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 health require("lazy").health() Run :checkhealth lazy
|
||
|
||
: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.
|
||
Use :Lazy! load to skip
|
||
cond checks.
|
||
|
||
:Lazy log [plugins] require("lazy").log(opts?) Show recent updates
|
||
|
||
:Lazy profile require("lazy").profile() Show detailed profiling
|
||
|
||
:Lazy reload {plugins} require("lazy").reload(opts) Reload a plugin
|
||
(experimental!!)
|
||
|
||
: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
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
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()`):
|
||
|
||
>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.
|
||
real_cputime = false,
|
||
count = 0, -- total number of plugins
|
||
loaded = 0, -- number of loaded plugins
|
||
---@type table<string, number>
|
||
times = {},
|
||
}
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
**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.

|
||
|
||
|
||
❌ UNINSTALLING *lazy.nvim-🚀-usage-❌-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.
|
||
|
||
🔒 LOCKFILE *lazy.nvim-🚀-usage-🔒-lockfile*
|
||
|
||
After every **update**, the local lockfile (`lazy-lock.json`) 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.

- `keys` spec is |lazy.nvim-different|
|

- `rtp` can be accomplished with:

end

<
|
||
|
||
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.

⚡ PROFILING & DEBUG *lazy.nvim-🚀-usage-⚡-profiling-&-debug*
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||

|

📂 STRUCTURING YOUR PLUGINS*lazy.nvim-🚀-usage-📂-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 LazyVim
|
||
<https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim> and more specifically:
|
||
|
||
- lazyvim.plugins <https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim/tree/main/lua/lazyvim/plugins> contains all the plugin specs that will be loaded
|
||
|
||
|
||
↩️ IMPORTING SPECS, CONFIG & OPTS
|
||
|
||
As part of a spec, you can add `import` statements to import additional plugin
|
||
modules. Both of the `setup()` calls are equivalent:
|
||
|
||
>lua
|
||
require("lazy").setup("plugins")
|
||
|
||
-- Same as:
|
||
require("lazy").setup({{import = "plugins"}})
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
To import multiple modules from a plugin, add additional specs for each import.
|
||
For example, to import LazyVim core plugins and an optional plugin:
|
||
|
||
>lua
|
||
require("lazy").setup({
|
||
spec = {
|
||
{ "LazyVim/LazyVim", import = "lazyvim.plugins" },
|
||
{ import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.coding.copilot" },
|
||
}
|
||
})
|
||
<
|
||
|
||
When you import specs, you can override them by simply adding a spec for the
|
||
same plugin to your local specs, adding any keys you want to override / merge.
|
||
|
||
`opts`, `dependencies`, `cmd`, `event`, `ft` and `keys` are always merged with
|
||
the parent spec. Any other property will override the property from the parent
|
||
spec.

||

||
8. 🔥 Developers *lazy.nvim-🔥-developers*
|
||
|
||
To make it easier for users to install your plugin, you can include a package
|
||
spec </packages> in your repo.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BEST PRACTICES *lazy.nvim-🔥-developers-best-practices*
|
||
|
||
- If your plugin needs `setup()`, then create a simple `lazy.lua` file like this:
|
||
>lua
|
||
return { "me/my-plugin", opts = {} }
|
||
<
|
||
- Plugins that are pure lua libraries should be lazy-loaded with `lazy = true`.
|
||
>lua
|
||
{ "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim", lazy = true }
|
||
<
|
||
- Only use `dependencies` if a plugin needs the dep to be installed **AND**
|
||
loaded. Lua plugins/libraries are automatically loaded when they are
|
||
`require()`d, so they don’t need to be in `dependencies`.
|
||
- Inside a `build` function or `*.lua` build file, use
|
||
`coroutine.yield(status_msg)` to show progress.
|
||
- Don’t change the `cwd` in your build function, since builds run in parallel
|
||
and changing the `cwd` will affect other builds.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BUILDING *lazy.nvim-🔥-developers-building*
|
||
|
||
The spec **build** property can be one of the following:
|
||
|
||
- `fun(plugin: LazyPlugin)`: a function that builds the plugin.
|
||
- `*.lua`: a Lua file that builds the plugin (like `build.lua`)
|
||
- `":Command"`: a Neovim command
|
||
- `"rockspec"`: this will run `luarocks make` in the plugin’s directory
|
||
This is automatically set by the `rockspec` package </packages> source.
|
||
- any other **string** will be run as a shell command
|
||
- a `list` of any of the above to run multiple build steps
|
||
- if no `build` is specified, but a `build.lua` file exists, that will be used instead.
|
||
|
||
Build functions and `*.lua` files run asynchronously in a coroutine. Use
|
||
`coroutine.yield(status_msg)` to show progress. Yielding will also schedule the
|
||
next `coroutine.resume()` to run in the next tick, so you can do long-running
|
||
tasks without blocking Neovim.
|
||
|
||
|
||
