<code class="literal">config.vim.lazy.plugins.*.setupOpts</code> <code class="literal">config.vim.extraPlugins.*.setup</code> or
|
||
<code class="literal">config.vim.luaConfigRC</code>.</p><p>The first option uses an extended version of <code class="literal">lz.n</code>’s PluginSpec. <code class="literal">setupModule</code>
|
||
and <code class="literal">setupOpt</code> can be used if the plugin uses a <code class="literal">require('module').setup(...)</code>

pattern. Otherwise, the <code class="literal">before</code> and <code class="literal">after</code> hooks should do what you need.</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">{

||
|
||
after = "print('aerial loaded')";
|

};
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
</code></pre><p>The second option uses an attribute set, which maps DAG section names to a
|
||
custom type, which has the fields <code class="literal">package</code>, <code class="literal">after</code>, <code class="literal">setup</code>. They allow you to
|
||
set the package of the plugin, the sections its setup code should be after (note
|
||
that the <code class="literal">extraPlugins</code> option has its own DAG scope), and the its setup code
|
||
respectively. For example:</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">config.vim.extraPlugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
|
||
aerial = {
|
||
package = aerial-nvim;
|
||
setup = "require('aerial').setup {}";

after = ["aerial"]; # place harpoon configuration after aerial
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
</code></pre><p>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:</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">{
|
||
# 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

feature implementation (which you do not wish to implement yourself) first look

among the already <a class="link" href="https://github.com/notashelf/nvf/issues" target="_top">open issues</a> and if no matching issue exists you may open a

means each and every commit in a pull request should make sense both on its own

that is introduced in an earlier commit. In particular, you will be asked to

amend any commit that introduces syntax errors or similar problems even if they

are fixed in a later commit.</p><p>The commit messages should follow the

“Capitalize the subject line”. We also ask you to include the affected code

description if you wish.</p><p>In case of nested modules, i.e <code class="literal">modules/languages/java.nix</code> you are recommended

certain changes are done at the user’s discretion based on how the original code

# which means module = { value = ... } instead of module.value = { ... }
|

module = {

value = mkEnableOption "some description" // { default = true; }; # merges can be done inline where possible
|
||
|

# same as parent modules, unfold submodules

subModule = {
|
||
# this is an option that contains more than one nested value
|
||
someOtherValue = mkOption {
|

type = lib.types.bool;
|
||
description = "Some other description";
|
||
default = true;
|
||
};
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
</code></pre><p>If you move a line down after the merge operator, Alejandra will automatically
|
||
unfold the whole merged attrset for you, which we <span class="strong"><strong>do not</strong></span> want.</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">module = {
|
||
key = mkEnableOption "some description" // {
|
||
default = true; # we want this to be inline

||
}; # ...
|
||
}
|
||
</code></pre><p>For lists, it is mostly up to your own discretion how you want to format them,
|
||
but please try to unfold lists if they contain multiple items and especially if
|
||
they are to include comments.</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix"># this is ok

acceptableList = [
