To make the browser-bookmarks.nvim
plugin lazy-load in Neovim, you need to specify the appropriate trigger for when the plugin should be loaded. In your case, the lazy = true
option alone is not enough. You’ll need to define the specific event, command, or action that will trigger the loading of the plugin.
Here are some common ways to lazy-load a plugin:
1. Lazy-load on Command
You can make the plugin load when a specific command is called (e.g., :BrowserBookmarks
).
Example:
return {
"dhruvmanila/browser-bookmarks.nvim",
version = "*", -- Use the latest version
lazy = true, -- Enable lazy loading
cmd = "BrowserBookmarks", -- Lazy load on specific command
dependencies = {
"kkharji/sqlite.lua",
},
config = function()
-- Default configuration here
require("browser-bookmarks").setup({
selected_browser = "firefox", -- Default browser
config_dir = "/home/jenny/.mozilla/firefox/", -- Default config directory
profile_name = "default-release", -- Default Firefox profile
url_open_command = "firefox", -- Default URL open command
})
end,
}
With this configuration, the plugin will only be loaded when you run the :BrowserBookmarks
command. You can change the command name to whatever fits your use case.
2. Lazy-load on Filetype
If you want the plugin to be loaded only when certain filetypes are opened (e.g., *.html
, *.txt
), you can use the ft
(filetype) option.
Example:
return {
"dhruvmanila/browser-bookmarks.nvim",
version = "*", -- Use the latest version
lazy = true, -- Enable lazy loading
ft = { "html", "markdown" }, -- Lazy load on opening .html or .md files
dependencies = {
"kkharji/sqlite.lua",
},
config = function()
-- Default configuration here
require("browser-bookmarks").setup({
selected_browser = "firefox", -- Default browser
config_dir = "/home/jenny/.mozilla/firefox/", -- Default config directory
profile_name = "default-release", -- Default Firefox profile
url_open_command = "firefox", -- Default URL open command
})
end,
}
This will load the browser-bookmarks.nvim
plugin only when opening html
or markdown
files.
3. Lazy-load on Event
You can also make the plugin load on a specific event, such as BufRead
(when a buffer is read), VimEnter
(when Vim starts), or any other supported events.
Example:
return {
"dhruvmanila/browser-bookmarks.nvim",
version = "*", -- Use the latest version
lazy = true, -- Enable lazy loading
event = "BufRead", -- Lazy load on buffer read
dependencies = {
"kkharji/sqlite.lua",
},
config = function()
-- Default configuration here
require("browser-bookmarks").setup({
selected_browser = "firefox", -- Default browser
config_dir = "/home/jenny/.mozilla/firefox/", -- Default config directory
profile_name = "default-release", -- Default Firefox profile
url_open_command = "firefox", -- Default URL open command
})
end,
}
This will make the plugin load when any file is read into a buffer (BufRead
event).
4. Lazy-load on Keybinding
You can also lazy-load the plugin when a specific keybinding is pressed.
Example:
return {
"dhruvmanila/browser-bookmarks.nvim",
version = "*", -- Use the latest version
lazy = true, -- Enable lazy loading
keys = { "<leader>bb" }, -- Lazy load on key press
dependencies = {
"kkharji/sqlite.lua",
},
config = function()
-- Default configuration here
require("browser-bookmarks").setup({
selected_browser = "firefox", -- Default browser
config_dir = "/home/jenny/.mozilla/firefox/", -- Default config directory
profile_name = "default-release", -- Default Firefox profile
url_open_command = "firefox", -- Default URL open command
})
end,
}
This configuration will load the plugin when you press the <leader>bb
key combination.
5. Lazy-load on Function Call
If you want the plugin to load when a specific function is called, you can use func
to trigger the loading.
Example:
return {
"dhruvmanila/browser-bookmarks.nvim",
version = "*", -- Use the latest version
lazy = true, -- Enable lazy loading
func = "BrowserBookmarks", -- Lazy load on function call
dependencies = {
"kkharji/sqlite.lua",
},
config = function()
-- Default configuration here
require("browser-bookmarks").setup({
selected_browser = "firefox", -- Default browser
config_dir = "/home/jenny/.mozilla/firefox/", -- Default config directory
profile_name = "default-release", -- Default Firefox profile
url_open_command = "firefox", -- Default URL open command
})
end,
}
In this case, the plugin will be loaded when the BrowserBookmarks()
function is called.
Conclusion
To enable lazy loading for the browser-bookmarks.nvim
plugin, you can choose the method that suits your needs based on events, commands, filetypes, keybindings, or function calls. The most common and flexible way is to use the cmd
or keys
option to trigger the plugin load only when necessary.
Here is a final example with lazy loading on a command:
return {
"dhruvmanila/browser-bookmarks.nvim",
version = "*", -- Use the latest version
lazy = true, -- Enable lazy loading
cmd = "BrowserBookmarks", -- Load on the command `:BrowserBookmarks`
dependencies = {
"kkharji/sqlite.lua",
},
config = function()
-- Default configuration here
require("browser-bookmarks").setup({
selected_browser = "firefox", -- Default browser
config_dir = "/home/jenny/.mozilla/firefox/", -- Default config directory
profile_name = "default-release", -- Default Firefox profile
url_open_command = "firefox", -- Default URL open command
})
end,
}
This makes sure the plugin only loads when the user runs the :BrowserBookmarks
command.
