**PERSONAL** configuration for [Neovim](https://neovim.io/) using [Nixvim](https://nix-community.github.io/nixvim/). Heavily inspired by [AstroNvim](https://astronvim.com/).
🚧 **This is a work in progress** 🚧
> [!NOTE]
> This project uses the [flake system](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) and is not intended to be used without Flakes.
The [flake](./flake.nix) exports two packages:
* `default`: Nixvim package built from the configuration files
* `lite`: Same as above, without the LSP stuff
> [!WARNING]
> 🚧 **This is a work in progress** 🚧
## 📥 Installation
```nix
{
inputs.nixvim-config.url = "github:nicolas-goudry/nixvim-config";
outputs = { nixvim-config, ... }: {
overlays.additions = final: _prev: {
nixvim = nixvim-config.packages.${_prev.system}.default;
# Or use the lite version
# nixvim = nixvim-config.packages.${_prev.system}.lite;
}
}
}
```
## 🍱 Structure
The config is mainly split in two directories:
* [plugins](./plugins): Nixvim plugins configuration, using a custom load mechanism
* [config](./config): nvim configuration (like options, global keymaps, etc)
Other configuration attributes may be found in [`default.nix`](./default.nix) if they dont justify being in a separate file.
### 🥣 Configuration
The configuration is split in multiple files organized by “topic” in the [config](./config) directory. These are auto-`import`ed in the main [`default.nix`](./default.nix) file.
### 🥢 Plugins
The plugins are not explicitly declared as Nixvim `plugins.<plugin>` attributes. Instead, they are looked up in and loaded from the [plugins](./plugins) directory.
In short, a lambda will read the files in the directory and use the filename to assign a plugin to the right attribute. Example: `telescope.nix` will be loaded in `config.plugins.telescope`. Custom plugins are also supported, read further.
Each plugin file must export a lambda, which is called with an attribute set containing the `nixpkgs`'s library as `lib`. Plugins may or may not use it. It must return an attribute set which can contain the following attributes:
* `opts`: plugin options as expected by Nixvim
* `rootOpts`: extra options for the root Nixvim `config` attribute
* this allows to further configure the plugin if it doesnt expose a given option
* `extra`: custom plugin not supported by Nixvim
* `extra.packages`: list of packages to be added as `extraPlugins` (ie. `vimPlugins.<plugin>`)
* `extra.config`: plugin configuration in lua

# This file will load all plugins defined in the current directory (plugins)
# and load their content in the 'plugins' nixvim attribute.
# Each plugin file must export a lambda, which is called with an attrset
# containing nixpkgs library as 'lib'. Plugins may or may not use it.
# For plugins natively supported by nixvim, the plugin file must have the same
# name as the plugin attribute name expected by nixvim (ie. 'telescope.nix' for
# 'plugins.telescope'). The plugin lambda must return an attrset with at least
# the 'opts' attribute, this attribute is the plugin options as expected by
# nixvim.
# For plugins not supported by nixvim, the plugin file can have any name. The
# plugin lambda must return an attrset with the 'extra' attribute which is also
# an attrset with two attributes: 'package' and 'config'. The 'package'
# attribute is the plugin package in nixpkgs (ie. vimPlugins.<plugin>). The
# 'config' attribute is the plugin configuration in Lua format.
# Additionally, a 'rootOpts' can be returned alongside other attributes, this
# attribute will be used to set extra options to the root nixvim options. For
# example, this allows to set keymaps for plugins that do not have an internal
# option to set keymaps.
