# 🚀 Usage
## ▶️ Startup Sequence
**lazy.nvim** does **NOT** use Neovim packages and even disables plugin loading
completely (`vim.go.loadplugins = false`). It takes over the complete
startup sequence for more flexibility and better performance.
In practice this means that step 10 of [Neovim Initialization](https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#initialization) is done by Lazy:
1. All the plugins' `init()` functions are executed
2. All plugins with `lazy=false` are loaded. This includes sourcing `/plugin` and `/ftdetect` files. (`/after` will not be sourced yet)
3. All files from `/plugin` and `/ftdetect` directories in your rtp are sourced (excluding `/after`)
4. All `/after/plugin` files are sourced (this includes `/after` from plugins)
Files from runtime directories are always sourced in alphabetical order.
## 🚀 Commands
Plugins are managed with the `:Lazy` command.
Open the help with `<?>` to see all the key mappings.

4. All `/after/plugin` files are sourced (this includes `/after` from plugins)
Files from runtime directories are always sourced in alphabetical order.
## 📂 Structuring Your Plugins
Some users may want to split their plugin specs in multiple files.
Instead of passing a spec table to `setup()`, you can use a Lua module.
The specs from the **module** and any top-level **sub-modules** will be merged together in the final spec,
so it is not needed to add `require` calls in your main plugin file to the other files.
The benefits of using this approach:
- Simple to **add** new plugin specs. Just create a new file in your plugins module.
- Allows for **caching** of all your plugin specs. This becomes important if you have a lot of smaller plugin specs.
- Spec changes will automatically be **reloaded** when they're updated, so the `:Lazy` UI is always up to date.
Example:
- `~/.config/nvim/init.lua`
```lua
require("lazy").setup("plugins")
```
- `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua` or `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua` **_(this file is optional)_**
```lua
return {
"folke/neodev.nvim",
"folke/which-key.nvim",
{ "folke/neoconf.nvim", cmd = "Neoconf" },
}
```
- Any lua file in `~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/*.lua` will be automatically merged in the main plugin spec
For a real-life example, you can check [LazyVim](https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim) and more specifically:
- [lazyvim.plugins](https://github.com/LazyVim/LazyVim/tree/main/lua/lazyvim/plugins) contains all the plugin specs that will be loaded
### ↩️ Importing Specs, `config` & `opts`
As part of a spec, you can add `import` statements to import additional plugin modules.
Both of the `setup()` calls are equivalent:
```lua
require("lazy").setup("plugins")
-- Same as:
require("lazy").setup({{import = "plugins"}})
```
To import multiple modules from a plugin, add additional specs for each import.
For example, to import LazyVim core plugins and an optional plugin:
```lua
require("lazy").setup({
spec = {
{ "LazyVim/LazyVim", import = "lazyvim.plugins" },
{ import = "lazyvim.plugins.extras.coding.copilot" },
}
})
```
When you import specs, you can override them by simply adding a spec for the same plugin to your local
specs, adding any keys you want to override / merge.
`opts`, `dependencies`, `cmd`, `event`, `ft` and `keys` are always merged with the parent spec.
Any other property will override the property from the parent spec.
