Kraftnix's neovim configuration

Uses NixCats to generate Neovim configurations.

• NixCats Docs
• NixCats lazy.nvim wrapper

Currently uses the lazy.nvim wrapper.

Exposed Configurations

There are multiple neovim configurations exposed from this flake:

• kraftnvim: standalone neovim nightly, with bundled lua configuration
• kraftnvimLocal: neovim nightly, uses host lua configuration
• kraftnvimStable: standalone neovim from nixpkgs, with bundled lua configuration
• kraftnvimStableLocal: neovim from nixpkgs, uses host lua configuration

The Local flavours of the packages use $XDG_CONFIG/nvim by default. Since neovim 0.9, you can use $NVIM_APPNAME to change the location in $XDG_CONFIG to use for neovim configuration.

However nixCats always sets NVIM_APPNAME to whatever is set in settings.configDirName. While this is useful, sometimes you actually want to override this (for maybe testing local changes not in $XDG_CONFIG/{configDirName}) So I added a KRAFTNVIM_NAME to overriding the nixCats setting at runtime.

Usage:

git clone https://github.com/kraftnix/kraftnvim ~/.config/kraftnvim-wip
KRAFTNVIM_NAME=kraftnvim-wip kraftnvimLocal

Downstream Usage

Instructions on how to use this configuration in downstream ways.

Direct Package

Run directly from this flake or add to packages.

nix run github:kraftnix/kraftnvim#kraftnvim

Add to devshell or package

{ inputs, pkgs, ... }: {
  environment.systemPackages = [
    inputs.kraftnvim.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.kraftnvimStable
  ];
}

Home Manager

Extra Plugins

Extra vim plugins are fetched using nvfetcher.

All plugins are added to an overlay at overlays.vimPlugins and available as packages at packages.<system>.vimPlugins

Adding a new Plugin

Add an entry to sources.toml and add the plugin to the list at the top of packages.

Update nvfetcher Plugins

Uses nvfetcher to handle extra vimPlugins.

nvfetcher -c ./packages/sources.toml -o ./packages/_sources

ToDo

• integrate nixCats splits of categories in lua plugin code
  • currently only splitting for adding plugins, which is ignored by lazy.nvim anyway
• investigate using lze for plugin loading instead of lazy.nvim
