Non-lazy Method

As of version 0.5, we have a more extensive API for configuring plugins that should be preferred over the legacy method. This API is available as {option}vim.extraPlugins. Instead of using DAGs exposed by the library directly, you may use the extra plugin module as follows:

{pkgs, ...}: {
  config.vim.extraPlugins = {
    aerial = {
      package = pkgs.vimPlugins.aerial-nvim;
      setup = ''
        require('aerial').setup {
          -- some lua configuration here
        }
      '';
    };

    harpoon = {
      package = pkgs.vimPlugins.harpoon;
      setup = "require('harpoon').setup {}";
      after = ["aerial"];
    };
  };
}

This provides a level of abstraction over the DAG system for faster iteration.
