# Configuring {#sec-configuring-plugins}
Just making the plugin to your Neovim configuration available might not always
be enough. In that case, you can write custom lua config using either
`config.vim.extraPlugins` (which has the `setup` field) or
`config.vim.luaConfigRC`. The first option uses an attribute set, which maps DAG
section names to a custom type, which has the fields `package`, `after`,
`setup`. They allow you to set the package of the plugin, the sections its setup
code should be after (note that the `extraPlugins` option has its own DAG
Just making the plugin to your Neovim configuration available might not always be enough. In that
case, you can write custom lua config using either `config.vim.lazy.plugins.*.setupOpts`
`config.vim.extraPlugins.*.setup` or `config.vim.luaConfigRC`.
The first option uses an extended version of `lz.n`'s PluginSpec. `setupModule` and `setupOpt` can
be used if the plugin uses a `require('module').setup(...)` pattern. Otherwise, the `before` and
`after` hooks should do what you need.
```nix
{
config.vim.lazy.plugins = {
aerial-nvim = {
# ^^^^^^^^^ this name should match the package.pname or package.name
package = aerial-nvim;
setupModule = "aerial";
setupOpts = {option_name = false;};
after = "print('aerial loaded')";
};
};
}
```
The second option uses an attribute set, which maps DAG section names to a custom type, which has
the fields `package`, `after`, `setup`. They allow you to set the package of the plugin, the
sections its setup code should be after (note that the `extraPlugins` option has its own DAG
scope), and the its setup code respectively. For example:
```nix
@ -24,7 +44,7 @@ config.vim.extraPlugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
}
```
The second option also uses an attribute set, but this one is resolved as a DAG
The third option also uses an attribute set, but this one is resolved as a DAG
directly. The attribute names denote the section names, and the values lua code.
For example:
