import plugin spec and pass in custom options

[nik-rev]

I want to create a meta-plugin which takes in options and configures other plugins.
For example, in LazyVim starter you use:

{ "LazyVim/LazyVim", import = "lazyvim.plugins" },

But what If I wanted to pass in some options e.g. like this:

{ "LazyVim/LazyVim", import = "lazyvim.plugins", opts = { theme = "catppuccin" } },

I tried the above, but it seems that lazyvim.plugins will not get passed those options. And also, lazyvim/init.lua will be activated AFTER lazyvim/plugins/init.lua

i even tried setting a global variable and that also didn't work

Is this possible to accomplish?

I am currently solving this issue by creating a function in my meta-plugin and using it e.g. like so

require("my-meta-plugin").setup({ some = options })

And have the above evaluate to a LazySpec[], then I just place it with my other plugins

but this is not ideal because Lazy.nvim does not track or recognize my "meta" plugin.

Is there a better approach for this?
