will it supports folkes new lazy? about nvim-laurel HOT 8 CLOSED

Thank you for the kind comment :)

To use macros before registering it with plugin manager, we have to add the root paths of macros to 'runtimepath' manually.

It is common to do that when we write our config on some features of such plugins as runtime compiler, macros, any other Lua/Vimscript functions, or plugin manager itself.

In most cases, plugin manager should only manage the versions for such plugins.

Thus, lazy.nvim can support nvim-laurel on version control, but we need another script to make sure nvim-laurel macros are ready in 'runtimepath' before. For example,

-- In init.lua or somewhere else

local function prerequisites(name, url)
  -- To manage the version of repo, the path should be where your plugin manager will download it.
  -- In this example, I use lazy.nvim because it specifies its default download path and it manages plugins without 'packpath'.
  -- Adjust `dir` if you prefer another plugin manager.
	local dir = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy"
	local path = dir .. "/" .. name
	if not vim.loop.fs_stat(path) then
		vim.fn.system({
			"git",
			"clone",
			"--filter=blob:none",
			"--single-branch",
			url,
			path,
		})
	end
	vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(path)
end

-- Install your favorite plugin manager.
prerequisites("lazy.nvim", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim")
-- prerequisites("packer.nvim", "https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim")
-- prerequisites("dein.vim", "https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim")

-- Install macros like nvim-laurel
prerequisites("nvim-laurel", "https://github.com/aileot/nvim-laurel")

-- Install a runtime compiler if you feel like
prerequisites("hotpot.nvim", "https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim")

require("hotpot").setup({
	compiler = {
		macros = {
			env = "_COMPILER",
			allowedGlobals = false,
		},
	},
})

require("load-plugins-by-lazy")

;; In ~/.config/nvim/fnl/load-plugins-by-lazy.fnl

(local lazy (require :lazy))
(local opts {:defaults {:lazy true}})

;; Just manage their versions
(lazy.setup [:rktjmp/hotpot.nvim
             :aileot/nvim-laurel
             ...]
            opts)

P.S. I have updated nvim-fnl, a part of my private dotfiles. I hope it can be of some help to you ;)

i guess the files are ~/.config/nvim/init.lua ~/.config/nvim/fnl/load-plugins-by-lazy.fnl ?
i tried different versions.. but lazy try to download it from git?

Yes, you are right. The path was wrong. I fixed the path in the snippet above.
I mean it as a sample local module to manage plugins with lazy.nvim in Fennel.

Ah, okay, my bad; I thought this was a working example; I think I was too tired to realize this.
my fennel game is still very weak, I tried to make it work and failed. I will take a look on it tomorrow after some sleep. :D

okay, i think i need to wait until you have time for more instructions.
i forked your config and tried.

thanks for all your answers so far, keep up the good work. and maybe post it on reddit if you want some traction

I have to say ... in the snippets just represents ellipsis, not varargs (Variadic Arguments). You should simply remove it or replace it with other plugins like :folke/tokyonight.nvim.

great :D haha i thought that the ... is some fennel magic its working now .. wonderful

Good. I hope you enjoy Neovim, and sleep tight 👍
