Neovim config for the lazy

LazyVim

LazyVim is a Neovim setup powered by 💤 lazy.nvim to make it easy to customize and extend your config. Rather than having to choose between starting from scratch or using a pre-made distro, LazyVim offers the best of both worlds - the flexibility to tweak your config as needed, along with the convenience of a pre-configured setup.

✨ Features

• 🔥 Transform your Neovim into a full-fledged IDE
• 💤 Easily customize and extend your config with lazy.nvim
• 🚀 Blazingly fast
• 🧹 Sane default settings for options, autocmds, and keymaps
• 📦 Comes with a wealth of plugins pre-configured and ready to use

⚡️ Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.8.0 (needs to be built with LuaJIT)
• Git >= 2.19.0 (for partial clones support)
• a Nerd Font (optional)

🚀 Getting Started

You can find a starter template for LazyVim here

Try it with Docker

docker run -w /root -it --rm alpine:edge sh -uelic '
  apk add git lazygit neovim ripgrep alpine-sdk --update
  git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim
  cd ~/.config/nvim
  nvim
'

Install the LazyVim Starter

• Make a backup of your current Neovim files:

  mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
  mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak

• Clone the starter

  git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim

• Start Neovim!

  nvim

  Refer to the comments in the files on how to customize LazyVim.

📂 File Structure

The files under config will be automatically loaded at the appropriate time, so you don't need to require those files manually. LazyVim comes with a set of default config files that will be loaded before your own. See here

You can add your custom plugin specs under lua/plugins/. All files there will be automatically loaded by lazy.nvim

~/.config/nvim

⚙️ Configuration

LazyVim can be configured in the same way as any other plugin.

For example in lua/plugins/core.lua

return {
  {
    "LazyVim/LazyVim",
    opts = {
      colorscheme = "catppuccin",
    }
  }
}

Default Settings

{
  -- colorscheme can be a string like `catppuccin` or a function that will load the colorscheme
  ---@type string|fun()
  colorscheme = function()
    require("tokyonight").load()
  end,
  -- icons used by other plugins
  icons = {
    diagnostics = {
      Error = " ",
      Warn = " ",
      Hint = " ",
      Info = " ",
    },
    git = {
      added = " ",
      modified = " ",
      removed = " ",
    },
    kinds = {
      Array = " ",
      Boolean = " ",
      Class = " ",
      Color = " ",
      Constant = " ",
      Constructor = " ",
      Enum = " ",
      EnumMember = " ",
      Event = " ",
      Field = " ",
      File = " ",
      Folder = " ",
      Function = " ",
      Interface = " ",
      Key = " ",
      Keyword = " ",
      Method = " ",
      Module = " ",
      Namespace = " ",
      Null = "ﳠ ",
      Number = " ",
      Object = " ",
      Operator = " ",
      Package = " ",
      Property = " ",
      Reference = " ",
      Snippet = " ",
      String = " ",
      Struct = " ",
      Text = " ",
      TypeParameter = " ",
      Unit = " ",
      Value = " ",
      Variable = " ",
    },
  },
}

🚀 Configuring Plugins

Configuring LazyVim is exactly the same as using lazy.nvim to build a config from scratch.

For the full plugin spec documentation please check the lazy.nvim readme.

Example spec: lua/plugins/example.lua

-- every spec file under config.plugins will be loaded automatically by lazy.nvim
--
-- In your plugin files, you can:
-- * add extra plugins
-- * disable/enabled LazyVim plugins
-- * override the configuration of LazyVim plugins
return {
  -- add gruvbox
  { "ellisonleao/gruvbox.nvim" },

  -- Configure LazyVim to load gruvbox
  {
    "LazyVim/LazyVim",
    opts = {
      colorscheme = "gruvbox",
    },
  },

  -- change trouble config
  {
    "folke/trouble.nvim",
    -- opts will be merged with the parent spec
    opts = { use_diagnostic_signs = true },
  },

  -- disable trouble
  { "folke/trouble.nvim", enabled = false },

  -- add symbols-outline
  {
    "simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim",
    cmd = "SymbolsOutline",
    keys = { { "<leader>cs", "<cmd>SymbolsOutline<cr>", desc = "Symbols Outline" } },
    config = true,
  },

  -- override nvim-cmp and add cmp-emoji
  {
    "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
    dependencies = { "hrsh7th/cmp-emoji" },
    ---@param opts cmp.ConfigSchema
    opts = function(_, opts)
      local cmp = require("cmp")
      opts.sources = cmp.config.sources(vim.list_extend(opts.sources, { { name = "emoji" } }))
    end,
  },

  -- change some telescope options and a keymap to browse plugin files
  {
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    keys = {
      -- add a keymap to browse plugin files
      -- stylua: ignore
      {
        "<leader>fp",
        function() require("telescope.builtin").find_files({ cwd = require("lazy.core.config").options.root }) end,
        desc = "Find Plugin File",
      },
    },
    -- change some options
    opts = {
      defaults = {
        layout_strategy = "horizontal",
        layout_config = { prompt_position = "top" },
        sorting_strategy = "ascending",
        winblend = 0,
      },
    },
  },

  -- add telescope-fzf-native
  {
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    dependencies = { { "nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim", build = "make" } },
    -- apply the config and additionally load fzf-native
    config = function(_, opts)
      local telescope = require("telescope")
      telescope.setup(opts)
      telescope.load_extension("fzf")
    end,
  },

  -- add pyright to lspconfig
  {
    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
    ---@class PluginLspOpts
    opts = {
      ---@type lspconfig.options
      servers = {
        -- pyright will be automatically installed with mason and loaded with lspconfig
        pyright = {},
      },
    },
  },

  -- add tsserver and setup with typescript.nvim instead of lspconfig
  {
    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
    dependencies = {
      "jose-elias-alvarez/typescript.nvim",
      init = function()
        require("lazyvim.util").on_attach(function(_, buffer)
          -- stylua: ignore
          vim.keymap.set( "n", "<leader>co", "TypescriptOrganizeImports", { buffer = buffer, desc = "Organize Imports" })
          vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>cR", "TypescriptRenameFile", { desc = "Rename File", buffer = buffer })
        end)
      end,
    },
    ---@class PluginLspOpts
    opts = {
      ---@type lspconfig.options
      servers = {
        -- tsserver will be automatically installed with mason and loaded with lspconfig
        tsserver = {},
      },
      -- you can do any additional lsp server setup here
      -- return true if you don't want this server to be setup with lspconfig
      ---@type table<string, fun(server:string, opts:_.lspconfig.options):boolean?>
      setup = {
        -- example to setup with typescript.nvim
        tsserver = function(_, opts)
          require("typescript").setup({ server = opts })
          return true
        end,
        -- Specify * to use this function as a fallback for any server
        -- ["*"] = function(server, opts) end,
      },
    },
  },

  -- for typescript, LazyVim also includes extra specs to properly setup lspconfig,
  -- treesitter, mason and typescript.nvim. So instead of the above, you can use:
  { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.lang.typescript" },

  -- add more treesitter parsers
  {
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    opts = {
      ensure_installed = {
        "bash",
        "help",
        "html",
        "javascript",
        "json",
        "lua",
        "markdown",
        "markdown_inline",
        "python",
        "query",
        "regex",
        "tsx",
        "typescript",
        "vim",
        "yaml",
      },
    },
  },

  -- since `vim.tbl_deep_extend`, can only merge tables and not lists, the code above
  -- would overwrite `ensure_installed` with the new value.
  -- If you'd rather extend the default config, use the code below instead:
  {
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    opts = function(_, opts)
      vim.list_extend(opts.ensure_installed, {
        -- add tsx and treesitter
        ensure_installed = {
          "tsx",
          "typescript",
        },
      })
    end,
  },

  -- the opts function can also be used to change the default opts:
  {
    "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    opts = function(_, opts)
      table.insert(opts.sections.lualine_x, "😄")
    end,
  },

  -- or you can return new options to override all the defaults
  {
    "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    opts = function()
      return {
        --[[add your custom lualine config here]]
      }
    end,
  },

  -- use mini.starter instead of alpha
  { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.ui.mini-starter" },

  -- add jsonls and schemastore ans setup treesitter for json, json5 and jsonc
  { import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.lang.json" },

  -- add any tools you want to have installed below
  {
    "williamboman/mason.nvim",
    opts = {
      ensure_installed = {
        "stylua",
        "shellcheck",
        "shfmt",
        "flake8",
      },
    },
  },
}
