📦 Migration Guide

packer.nvim​

  • setup ➡️ init
  • requires ➡️ dependencies
  • as ➡️ name
  • opt ➡️ lazy
  • run ➡️ build
  • lock ➡️ pin
  • disable=true ➡️ enabled = false
  • tag='*' ➡️ version="*"
  • after is not needed for most use-cases. Use dependencies otherwise.
  • wants is not needed for most use-cases. Use dependencies otherwise.
  • config don't support string type, use fun(LazyPlugin) instead.
  • module is auto-loaded. No need to specify
  • keys spec is different
  • rtp can be accomplished with:
config = function(plugin)
    vim.opt.rtp:append(plugin.dir .. "/custom-rtp")
end

With packer wants, requires and after can be used to manage dependencies. With lazy, this isn't needed for most of the Lua dependencies. They can be installed just like normal plugins (even with lazy=true) and will be loaded when other plugins need them. The dependencies key can be used to group those required plugins with the one that requires them. The plugins which are added as dependencies will always be lazy-loaded and loaded when the plugin is loaded.
