Luapack - A simple package manager for Neovim

Luapack is a package manager that utilizes Neovim's built in packaging system (see :h packages for more information). It is intended for use with a primarily Lua configuration.

Installation

Before installing please read!! Luapack uses features from the latest neovim-nightly, it will not work if you are not on the latest build.

Using git:

Clone the repository into your preferred package directory under 'luapack/opt/luapack'

git clone https://github.com/travonted/luapack.git \
    ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/luapack/opt/luapack

Usage

These instructions are all in Lua, if you are doing this in your init.vim wrap the code in a :lua block

lua<<EOF
" Add lua code here
EOF

Defining Plugins

Simple configuration

First in your init.vim do

packadd luapack

This needs to be before any configuration that requires Luapack to be loaded

-- We use a global variable here so that we can re-use the same object throughout the configuration
Luapack = require('luapack')
Luapack.plugins = {
   'travonted/luapack',
   'travonted/luajob'
}
Luapack.load()

Installing,Updating, and Cleaning Plugins

Call the appropriate function on the Luapack object that you defined

:lua Luapack.install() :lua Luapack.update() :lua Luapack.clean()
