lazy.nvim is a modern plugin manager for Neovim written in Lua. It provides fast startup via lazy-loading and bytecode compilation, a powerful management UI, lockfiles, and automatic plugin installation and updates.
Use cases
- manage neovim plugins
- speed up neovim startup time
- lazy-load plugins on events and keymaps
- pin plugin versions with a lockfile
- install plugins automatically on first launch
- profile neovim plugin performance
When to choose
- you use Neovim >= 0.8.0 and want a fast, actively maintained plugin manager
- you need lazy-loading, semver version pinning, and dependency sequencing
- you want a UI and profiling tools for managing your plugin setup
When to avoid
- you use Vim rather than Neovim
- you need a plugin manager for editors other than Neovim
- you prefer minimal Lua-free vimscript-only setups
