A Lua utility library for Neovim providing commonly needed modules such as async coroutines, job control, path handling, directory scanning, and a test harness. It serves as a shared dependency for many Neovim plugins.
Use cases
- write async lua code in neovim plugins
- run tests for neovim lua plugins
- manipulate file paths in neovim lua
- scan directories from neovim
- run shell jobs asynchronously in neovim
When to choose
- you are developing a Neovim plugin in Lua and need async, path, or job utilities
- a Neovim plugin like telescope.nvim lists plenary.nvim as a dependency
When to avoid
- you need a library outside of Neovim
- you need a long-term maintained library with new features, since it is being archived
