Can csvview.nvim be lazy loaded by file type.

[boydkelly]

I notice there is no mention of lazy loading by file type. I would love to have csvview loaded and enabled on opening a tsv file from the command line. But if lazyloading with event Ui enter, this does not seem to work, and trying by ft = csv or tsv also does not seem work. Either the module is not enabled or if i try to enable in ftplugin/tsv.lua i get a message that the module is not loaded. Great plugin!! Not a deal breaker, but would be nice to have.

Thanks for the feedback!
I tested it with the configuration below, and it worked successfully for me. Could you please share your configuration?

-- lazy.nvim config
{
  "hat0uma/csvview.nvim",
  opts = {},
  ft = { "csv", "tsv" },
},

~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/csv.lua:

require("csvview").enable()

@hat0uma, thank you for csvview! I recommend its use in R.nvim-config-examples.

The command require("csvview").enable() in ~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/csv.lua ensures that csvview is automatically enabled when we open a CSV file. However, the plugin is always loaded, not lazy-loaded by file type. Lazy.nvim can force csvview to be lazy-loaded by filetype, but if we use the built-in vim.pack.add() function, csvview will always be loaded because it's a general plugin, although, in my opinion, it should be a filetype plugin. I believe that the code from plugin/csvview.lua should be moved to the lua/csvview/ directory. The files ftplugin/csv_csvview.lua and ftplugin/tsv_csvview.lua could be created with the line suggested above:

require("csvview").enable()

Ideally, require("csvview").setup() would be very quick, and just store user options. This is what I did in zotcite, but you may find a better solution.

I've found a way to lazy-load with vim.pack.add(): call vim.pack.add() from ~/.config/nvim/after/ftplugin/[ct]sv.lua.
