✨ Features

⚡ Simply search the plugin name and open its configuration at the corresponding file and line.

⚡ Quickly access all the specs where a plugin is defined.

⚡ No more head overload trying to remember in which file you changed that plugin option.

⚡ Easily find duplicates or conflicting overlapping settings.

⚡ Add custom entries to any file for your special needs.

⚡ Quickly execute builtin actions on the selected entry:

  • Open the selected plugin configuration (<CR>).
  • Open the selected plugin webpage in a browser (<C-g>x).
  • Open the selected plugin README file (<C-g>r).
  • Open the selected plugin repository local clone directory (<C-g>d).
  • Open a live_grep picker at the plugin's local directory path (<C-g>l).
  • Open a find_files picker at the plugin's local directory path (<C-g>f).
  • Create/Add your custom actions.

📌 Requirements

  • Neovim >= v0.9.0
  • lazy.nvim >= v11.0.0

📦 Installation

  • Add it into the Telescope dependencies:
return {
  "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    { "polirritmico/telescope-lazy-plugins.nvim" },
  },
  -- etc.
}

Check the Configuration examples and the Configuration section for more details.

Important

📌 If your lazy configuration file is not located in the default path (nvim/lua/config/lazy.lua), the lazy_config option must be set to a valid path.

  • Manually loading the extension:
require("telescope").load_extension("lazy_plugins")

Tip

It's recommended to run :checkhealth telescope after the installation (make sure the extension is loaded first).

🔍 Usage

  • Command-line:
:Telescope lazy_plugins
  • Lua:
require("telescope").extensions.lazy_plugins.lazy_plugins()

🛠️ Configuration:

Add the options in the telescope.nvim opts extensions table inside lazy_plugins (configuration examples).

Option Type Description
lazy_config string Path to the lua file containing the lazy options passed to the setup() call. This is the first-level imported file and the one you would be directed by searching lazy.nvim. Should be set if the lazy.nvim config file path differs from the defaults.
name_only boolean Match only the repository name. Set to false to match the full account/repo_name.
show_disabled boolean Also show disabled plugins from the Lazy spec.
ignore_imports table Array-like string table with modules to ignore. Useful for config distributions like LazyVim to avoid importing the inner configurations, e.g., { "lazyvim.plugins" }.
picker_opts table Telescope layout options passed to the picker. Check :h telescope.layout.
mappings table Keymaps attached to the picker. See :h telescope.mappings. Also, 'Custom Actions' could be added.
live_grep table Custom options to be used by the live_grep picker action (<C-g>l). See :h telescope.builtin.live_grep.
custom_entries table A collection of custom entries to add into the picker. See the 'Custom Entries' section.

⌨️ Mappings

In next table, the lp_actions column refers to the name of the action function provided by the module telescope-lazy-plugins.actions, accessible via:

require("telescope").extensions.lazy_plugins.actions
Insert mode Normal mode lp_actions Description
<CR> <CR> open Open the selected plugin config file at the first line of the plugin spec.
<C-g>d gd open_repo_dir Open the local clone folder of the plugin repository.
<C-g>f gf open_repo_find_files Open a Telescope find_files picker at the repository local clone directory path.
<C-g>l gl open_repo_live_grep Open a Telescope live_grep picker at the repository local clone directory path.
<C-g>r gr open_readme Open the selected plugin README file.
<C-g>x gx open_repo_url Open the plugin repository url in the default web browser.
custom_action A wrapper helper to use custom actions. See the 'Custom Actions' section.

    },
  },
}

⚙️ Configuration Examples:

🍚 Simple config:

{
  "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
  cmd = "Telescope",
  dependencies = {
    { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" },
    {
      "polirritmico/telescope-lazy-plugins.nvim",
      keys = {
        { "<leader>cp", "<Cmd>Telescope lazy_plugins<CR>", desc = "Telescope: Plugins configurations" },
      },
    },
  },
  opts = {
    extensions = {
      lazy_plugins = {
        lazy_config = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/lua/lazy/init.lua", -- Must be a valid path to the file containing the lazy spec and setup() call.
      },
    },
    -- etc.
  },
}

💤 Lazy loading:

Lazy-loading Telescope extensions could be a little tricky. This approach creates a user auto command that checks when the telescope.nvim plugin is loaded and then executes the load_extension function (Could be used with any Telescope extension).

Click to see the configuration example

Lazy loader utility function:

local load_extension_after_telescope_is_loaded = function(extension_name)
  local lazy_cfg = require("lazy.core.config").plugins
  if lazy_cfg["telescope.nvim"] and lazy_cfg["telescope.nvim"]._.loaded then
    -- Since Telescope is loaded, just load the extension:
    require("telescope").load_extension(extension_name)
  else
    -- If Telescope is not loaded, create an autocmd that will load the
    -- extension after Telescope is loaded.
    vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
      pattern = "LazyLoad",
      callback = function(event)
        if event.data == "telescope.nvim" then
          require("telescope").load_extension(extension_name)
          return true
        end
      end,
    })
  end
end

Usage:

return {
  {
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    cmd = "Telescope",
    dependencies = {
      { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" },
      {
        "polirritmico/telescope-lazy-plugins.nvim",
        init = function()
          load_extension_after_telescope_is_loaded("lazy_plugins")
        end,
      },
    },
    keys = {
      {"<leader>cp", "<Cmd>Telescope lazy_plugins<CR>", desc = "Telescope: Plugins configurations"},
    },
    -- Add the plugin configuration through the Telescope extensions options:
    opts = {
      extensions = {
        lazy_plugins = {
          show_disabled = true,
          lazy_config = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/lua/config/lazy.lua", -- path to the file containing the lazy opts and setup() call.
          -- This is not needed. It is just an example of how you can customize the picker layout. Check `:h telescope.layout`.
          picker_opts = {
            layout_strategy = "vertical",
            layout_config = {
              vertical = { preview_cutoff = 15, preview_height = 0.5 },
            },
          },
          -- This is not needed. It is just an example of how you can add custom entries.
          custom_entries = {
            {
              name = "custom-entry-example",
              filepath = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/lua/config/mappings.lua",
              repo_url = "https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/",
              line = 23, -- Open the file with the cursor in this line
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
  -- etc.
}

📜 Full spec table

If your plugins are inside a large table passed directly to the require('lazy').setup({...}, opts) call, make sure to set the lazy_config option to specify the file where the spec table is defined. For example, for configurations in a single init.lua file:

Click to see the configuration example
-- Content of file: ~/.conf/nvim/init.lua
local opts = {
  -- Lazy configuration options
}
require("lazy").setup({
  -- full list of plugins and configs like this:
  "username/a_plugin",
  opts = {
    configurations = "custom values",
  },
  -- etc.
  {
    "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
    dependencies = {
      { "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim" },
      { "polirritmico/telescope-lazy-plugins.nvim" },
    },
    opts = {
      extensions = {
        lazy_plugins = {
          -- Set the path of this file (~/.config/nvim/init.lua) into the `lazy_config` field:
          lazy_config = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/init.lua"
        },
      },
    },
  },
}, opts)

💻 Advanced Features

🔧 Custom Actions

The plugin also offer the possibility to add and define your custom actions to the picker through custom_action and helper functions.

Click to see the functions details

Helper Functions:

  • append_to_telescope_history:

Append the search to the Telescope history, allowing it to be reopened with :Telescope resume.

Inputs/Output Type Description
prompt_bufnr integer Telescope prompt buffer value
return: output nil
  • custom_action:

A wrapper function to use custom actions. This function get and validates the selected entry field, executes the passed custom_function in a protected call and returns its output.

Inputs/Output Type Description
prompt_bufnr integer Telescope prompt buffer value
field string Field of the LazyPluginsData to validate the selected entry (before the custom_function call). Check the 'Custom Entries' section for details on the entry field.
custom_function function Custom function to execute, e.g., foo(bufnr, entry, custom_args). Check the custom action example.
args table? Custom args if needed.
return: output any The output of the custom_function, nil or the error object from pcall.

Examples:

Click to see a custom action example

This example shows a message that displays the repository local clone path of the selected plugin entry.

Use custom_action to access the selected entry and execute a custom function:

--- The example function
---@param bufnr integer passed by the telescope mapping execution call
---@param entry LazyPluginsData passed inside `custom_action`
---@param custom_args {foo: string} If needed custom_args could be added in a table
local function demo_custom_function(bufnr, entry, custom_args)
  -- (require telescope inside the function call to not trigger a lazy load when
  -- parsing the config)
  local lp_actions = require("telescope").extensions.lazy_plugins.actions

  local arguments = custom_args.foo -- access values from the custom_args
  local repository_dir = entry.repo_dir -- access values from the selected picker entry
  local message = string.format("%s%s", arguments, repository_dir)
  vim.notify(message)

  -- Use the provided helper builtin functions:
  lp_actions.append_to_telescope_history(bufnr) -- Used by `:Telescope resume` and others.
  lp_actions.close(bufnr)
end
-- etc.

Then add it to a map action:

--- Inside the lazy_plugins config
lazy_plugins = {
  mappings = {
    ["i"] = {
      ["<C-g>d"] = function(prompt_bufnr)
        local args = { foo = "Plugin path from the selected entry.repo_dir: " }
        require("telescope").extensions.lazy_plugins.actions.custom_action(
          prompt_bufnr,
          "repo_dir", -- This is used to validate the entry. Could be any field of LazyPluginsData (name, full_name, filepath, line, repo_url or repo_dir).
          demo_custom_function,
          args
        )
      end,
    },
  },
},

💈 Custom Entries

Custom entries could be added into the custom_entries field in the options. Should follow this specs:

---@class LazyPluginsCustomEntry
---@field name string Entry name
---@field filepath string Full path to the lua target file
---@field line? integer Optional: Line number to set the view on the target file. Defaults to 1.
---@field repo_url? string Optional: URL to open with the `open_repo_url` action
---@field repo_dir? string Optional: Directory path to open with the `open_repo_dir` action
--- Custom entry example:
lazy_plugins = {
  custom_entries = {
    {
      name = "custom-entry",
      filepath = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/lua/extra-options/somefile.lua",
      -- Optional:
      line = 42,
      repo_url = "https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/",
      repo_dir = vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/lua/extra-options/",
    },
    -- etc.
  },
},
