Guide: Structuring Lua plugins

1. nvim

   1 71 6,558 8.4 Lua

   🍨 Soothing pastel theme for (Neo)vim

   

   I wanted to make a post here but I get shadow banned for not having enough reddit karma :< (I used these to make catppuccin.nvim startup in 1ms)

2. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

   

3. nvim-dap

   2 140 6,477 8.4 Lua

   Debug Adapter Protocol client implementation for Neovim

   

   It's not obvious from the website, but this is the blog of GitHub user @mfussenegger, who is a Neovim core member, one of the primary maintainers of Neovim's LSP client implementation, and the other of several excellent plugins.

4. nvim-jdtls

   3 75 1,316 7.1 Lua

   Extensions for the built-in LSP support in Neovim for eclipse.jdt.ls

5. nvim-lint

   4 28 2,420 8.7 Lua

   An asynchronous linter plugin for Neovim complementary to the built-in Language Server Protocol support.

6. persistence.nvim

   5 8 834 7.4 Lua

   💾 Simple session management for Neovim

   

   I like the idea of a "config" module. Plugins like persistence and mason.nvim have it, they allow you to set variables without calling the main module.

7. mason.nvim

   6 112 9,257 8.2 Lua

   Portable package manager for Neovim that runs everywhere Neovim runs. Easily install and manage LSP servers, DAP servers, linters, and formatters.

8. impatient.nvim

   7 31 1,230 5.9 Lua

   Discontinued Improve startup time for Neovim

   :lua vim.pretty_print(vim.mpack.decode(vim.mpack.encode({some = { thing = false }}))) used by impatient.nvim

9. InfluxDB

10. vim-illuminate

    8 24 2,368 7.3 Lua

    illuminate.vim - (Neo)Vim plugin for automatically highlighting other uses of the word under the cursor using either LSP, Tree-sitter, or regex matching.

    

    +1, I avoided .setup in vim-illuminate and had a github comment explaining why it started and the alternative I went with, https://github.com/RRethy/vim-illuminate/issues/112. Got a lot of push-back on reddit for that. Happy to see some others dislike that useless convention.

11. leap.nvim

    9 41 4,784 8.4 Fennel

    Neovim's answer to the mouse 🦘

    

    +1. I've already taken the first step.

12. neovim-plugin

    10 2 35 10.0 Lua

    

    I'm pretty sure we got started down the .setup road because of this article by norcalli a few years ago. It was published when plugins started using Lua and suddenly I went from seeing one or two plugins using .setup to literally every single plugin use it.
