* flake: add lz.n and lzn-auto-require

* lazy: init module

* lzn-auto-require: add init lua code

* wrapper: fix opt plugin format

* lib.binds: add lz.n variant of bind functions

* telescope: lazy load

* nvim-tree: lazy load

* dapui: lazy load

* trouble: lazy load

* toggleterm: lazy load

* cheatsheet: lazy load

* diffview: lazy load

* leap: lazy load

* fidget: lazy load

* docs: add section on lazy plugins

* lazy: support lazy.enable=false

* surround-nvim: lazy load

* neo-tree: lazy load

* fixup! lazy: init module

* dap: appease the nix gods (fix statix lint)

* flake.lock: fix merge mistake

* doc: update release note

* fixup! doc: update release note

* neo-tree: fix duplicate neo-tree install

* flake: update lz.n

* lazy: update lz.n plugin spec

* lazy: allow lines in place of str for lua code

* copilot: lazy load

* cmp: lazy load

this moves cmp itself to lazy.plugins but other plugins that call cmp
are not yet lazy so cmp is technically not yet lazy

* luasnip: lazy load

* flake: add rtp.nvim

* cmp: actually lazy load source

* fixup! cmp: actually lazy load source

* format

* docs: fix broken link

* cmp-nvim-lsp: lazy load

* lazy: allow key mode of str type

* cmp: install sourcess via cmp.sourcePlugins

* Update docs/manual/hacking/additional-plugins.md

* lazy: refactor common var

* nvim-dap-ui: add setupOpts

* refactor: re-order plugin and lz.n configs

lazy: make lzn-auto-require togglable

* docs: update dag-entries

* trouble: remove redundant import

* lazy: remove unused module arg

* toggleterm: make lazygit keybind optional

* toggleterm: use toLuaObject for clarity

* surround: rework keymap config

* remove stale FIXME

* lsp: use cmp_nvim_lsp capabilities

* cmp: deduplicate attr key

* theme: ensure themes load before lazy plugins

* doc: update description of `theme` dag entry

* lsp: avoid loading cmp on startup

* doc: update configuration docs on custom plugins

* cmp: skip trigger_load if lazy disabled

* treesitter: remove redundant code

* lsp: mark hack as HACK

* comment: remove redundant plugin

* Squash merge v0.7 into feature/lzn

Configuring

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.

{
  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:

config.vim.extraPlugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
  aerial = {
    package = aerial-nvim;
    setup = "require('aerial').setup {}";
  };

  harpoon = {
    package = harpoon;
    setup = "require('harpoon').setup {}";
    after = ["aerial"]; # place harpoon configuration after aerial
  };
}

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:

{
  # this will create an "aquarium" section in your init.lua with the contents of your custom config
  # which will be *appended* to the rest of your configuration, inside your init.vim
  config.vim.luaConfigRC.aquarium = "vim.cmd('colorscheme aquiarum')";
}

:::{.note} If your configuration needs to be put in a specific place in the config, you can use functions from inputs.nvf.lib.nvim.dag to order it. Refer to https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/master/modules/lib/dag.nix to find out more about the DAG system. :::

If you successfully made your plugin work, please feel free to create a PR to add it to nvf or open an issue with your findings so that we can make it available for everyone easily.
