lazy.nvim is a modern plugin manager for Neovim.
- π¦ Manage all your Neovim plugins with a powerful UI
- π Fast startup times thanks to automatic caching and bytecode compilation of Lua modules
- πΎ Partial clones instead of shallow clones
- π Automatic lazy-loading of Lua modules and lazy-loading on events, commands, filetypes, and key mappings
- β³ Automatically install missing plugins before starting up Neovim, allowing you to start using it right away
- πͺ Async execution for improved performance
- π οΈ No need to manually compile plugins
- π§ͺ Correct sequencing of dependencies
- π Configurable in multiple files
- π Generates helptags of the headings in
README.md
files for plugins that don't have vimdocs - π» Dev options and patterns for using local plugins
- π Profiling tools to optimize performance
- π Lockfile
lazy-lock.json
to keep track of installed plugins - π Automatically check for updates
- π Commit, branch, tag, version, and full Semver support
- π Statusline component to see the number of pending updates
- π¨ Automatically lazy-loads colorschemes
- Neovim >= 0.8.0 (needs to be built with LuaJIT)
- Git >= 2.19.0 (for partial clones support)
- a Nerd Font (optional)
You can add the following Lua code to your init.lua
to bootstrap lazy.nvim:
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
vim.fn.system({
"git",
"clone",
"--filter=blob:none",
"https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
"--branch=stable", -- latest stable release
lazypath,
})
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
Next step is to add lazy.nvim below the code added in the prior step in init.lua
:
require("lazy").setup(plugins, opts)
- plugins: this should be a
table
or astring
table
: a list with your Plugin Specstring
: a Lua module name that contains your Plugin Spec. See Structuring Your Plugins
- opts: see Configuration (optional)
-- 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
vim.g.maplocalleader = "\\" -- Same for `maplocalleader`
require("lazy").setup({
"folke/which-key.nvim",
{ "folke/neoconf.nvim", cmd = "Neoconf" },
"folke/neodev.nvim",
})
βΉοΈ It is recommended to run :checkhealth lazy
after installation.
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(LazyPlugin):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 |
opts | table or fun(LazyPlugin, opts:table) |
opts should be a table (will be merged with parent specs), 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) or true |
config is executed when the plugin loads. The default implementation will automatically run require(MAIN).setup(opts) . 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 a list of build commands |
build is executed when a plugin is installed or updated. Before running build , a plugin is first loaded. 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. Some plugins provide their own build.lua which is automatically used by lazy. So no need to specify a build step for those plugins. |
branch | string? |
Branch of the repository |
tag | string? |
Tag of the repository |
commit | string? |
Commit of the repository |
version | string? or false to override the default |
Version to use from the repository. Full 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 |
event | string? or string[] or fun(self:LazyPlugin, event:string[]):string[] or {event:string[]|string, pattern?:string[]|string} |
Lazy-load on event. Events can be specified as BufEnter or with a pattern like BufEnter *.lua |
cmd | string? or string[] or fun(self:LazyPlugin, cmd:string[]):string[] |
Lazy-load on command |
ft | string? or string[] or fun(self:LazyPlugin, ft:string[]):string[] |
Lazy-load on filetype |
keys | string? or string[] or LazyKeysSpec[] or fun(self:LazyPlugin, keys:string[]):(string | LazyKeysSpec)[] |
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. |
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 |
lazy.nvim automagically lazy-loads Lua modules, so it is not needed to
specify module=...
everywhere in your plugin specification. 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.
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
orkeys
key config.defaults.lazy == true
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)
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.
-- 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,
}
If you want to install a specific revision of a plugin, you can use commit
,
tag
, branch
, version
.
The version
property supports Semver ranges.

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:
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()
):
{
-- 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.
Example of configuring lualine.nvim
require("lualine").setup({
sections = {
lualine_x = {
{
require("lazy.status").updates,
cond = require("lazy.status").has_updates,
color = { fg = "#ff9e64" },
},
},
},
})
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
- LazyLoad: after loading a plugin. The
data
attribute will contain the plugin name. - LazySyncPre: before running sync
- LazyInstallPre: before an install
- LazyUpdatePre: before an update
- LazyCleanPre: before a clean
- LazyCheckPre: before checking for updates
- LazyLogPre: before running log
- LazyReload: triggered by change detection after reloading plugin specs
- VeryLazy: triggered after
LazyDone
and processingVimEnter
auto commands - LazyVimStarted: triggered after
UIEnter
whenrequire("lazy").stats().startuptime
has been calculated. Useful to update the startuptime on your dashboard.
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.
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 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.
See an overview of active lazy-loading handlers and what's in the module cache.
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:
- All the plugins'
init()
functions are executed - All plugins with
lazy=false
are loaded. This includes sourcing/plugin
and/ftdetect
files. (/after
will not be sourced yet) - All files from
/plugin
and/ftdetect
directories in your rtp are sourced (excluding/after
) - All
/after/plugin
files are sourced (this includes/after
from plugins)
Files from runtime directories are always sourced in alphabetical order.
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
require("lazy").setup("plugins")
~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua
or~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua
(this file is optional)
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 and more specifically:
- lazyvim.plugins contains all the plugin specs that will be loaded
As part of a spec, you can add import
statements to import additional plugin modules.
Both of the setup()
calls are equivalent:
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:
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.

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.

If your plugin needs a build step, you can create a file build.lua
or build/init.lua
in the root of your repo. This file will be loaded when the plugin is installed or updated.
This makes it easier for users, as they no longer need to specify a build
command.
