nvim-treesitter VS lazy.nvim

Then open the file in your favorite code editor, that is for me neovim btw, you might want to install a treesitter to provide some syntax highlighting although nice but not necessary, in vscode you can install a plugin for the syntax highlighting.

Neovim could use the default regex based grammar that Vim uses for syntax highlighting. But I recommended installing treesitter. This uses a concrete syntax tree to provide more semantic meaning to tokens, allowing enriched (and faster) highlighting.

👉 Tree-sitter plugin for code highlighting.

Treesitter is what makes your neovim colorful. It uses the LSP and colorscheme and colors your variables, keywords and other stuff. To understand how treesitter works and configure treesitter please read the docs. Here is my configuration for treesitter:

nvim-treesitter is a plugin that has been around for 4 years now. A lot of people will say this is essential to your Neovim experience, and I do agree to some extend. It is incredibly useful... as a dependency for other plugins. It allows Neovim to gather more information about source code of the current file, and plugin authors can do really cool things that. For "normal users" like you and me there are some modules we can enable. One of them can be used to enhance the syntax highlight of many programming languages. That I think the feature nvim-treesitter is known for.

I wouldn't really count those. Every editor with treesitter support will have those, it's for treesitter: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/blob/mast...

nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter (to provide a simple and easy way to use the interface for tree-sitter in Neovim and to provide some basic functionality such as highlighting based on it)

nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter: Nvim Treesitter configurations and abstraction layer.

I use Neovim daily; it is highly customizable and can be configured to meet my needs. The configuration samples shown use Lazy.nvim.

-- Bootstrap lazy.nvim local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim" if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then local lazyrepo = "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git" local out = vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "--branch=stable", lazyrepo, lazypath }) if vim.v.shell_error ~= 0 then vim.api.nvim_echo({ { "Failed to clone lazy.nvim:\n", "ErrorMsg" }, { out, "WarningMsg" }, { "\nPress any key to exit..." }, }, true, {}) vim.fn.getchar() os.exit(1) end end vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath) -- Make sure to setup `mapleader` and `maplocalleader` before -- loading lazy.nvim so that mappings are correct. -- This is also a good place to setup other settings (vim.opt) vim.g.mapleader = " " vim.g.maplocalleader = "\\" -- Setup lazy.nvim require("lazy").setup({ spec = { -- All the plugins go here }, -- Configure any other settings here. See the documentation for more details. -- colorscheme that will be used when installing plugins. install = { missing = true, colorscheme = { "catppuccin-mocha" } }, -- automatically check for plugin updates checker = { enabled = true, notify = false }, }, { ui = { -- If you are using a Nerd Font: set icons to an empty table which will use the -- default lazy.nvim defined Nerd Font icons, otherwise define a unicode icons table icons = vim.g.have_nerd_font and {} or { cmd = '⌘', config = '🛠', event = '📅', ft = '📂', init = '⚙', keys = '🗝', plugin = '🔌', runtime = '💻', require = '🌙', source = '📄', start = '🚀', task = '📌', lazy = '💤 ', }, }, })

The plugin is inspired by Themery.nvim and Lazy.nvim, and it offers a simple way of managing and switching your colorschemes. Check out the Github Repository to learn more about Themify.

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim" if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release lazypath, }) end vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath) require("lazy").setup({ { import = "charly3pins.plugins" }, { import = "charly3pins.plugins.lsp" } }, { change_detection = { notify = false, } })

-- ~/nvim/lua/slydragonn/lazy.lua local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim" if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", -- latest stable release lazypath, }) end vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath) require("lazy").setup("slydragonn.plugins")

For example, I am inspired a lot by the README of lazy.nvim. Learning from other's success is a good way to improve your project.

--init.lua local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim" if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", lazypath, }) end vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

First, I installed NeoSolarized.nvim via lazy.nvim, so the code would be simple like the following one.

In my case, I have switched to Lazy.nvim for all of my Neovim plugin needs ( Thanks again Folke! ), so it would be great if you were at least minimally familiar with how Lazy works as well.

If you've read old tutorials about Neovim configuration you've find the way they create keymaps is a little bit different from what people do now. And if you check other people's configuration sometimes you'll find they create their keymaps using lazy.nvim. This is causing confusion among Neovim users.
