# NixVim config
**PERSONAL** configuration for [Neovim](https://neovim.io/) using [Nixvim](https://nix-community.github.io/nixvim/). Heavily inspired by [AstroNvim](https://astronvim.com/).
> [!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
