## Performance compared to other plugins
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
Unlike other statusline plugins lualine loads only defined components, nothing else.
2021-09-20 11:46:38 +00:00
Startup time performance measured with an amazing plugin [dstein64/vim-startuptime ](https://github.com/dstein64/vim-startuptime )
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
2021-09-20 11:46:38 +00:00
All times are measured with clean `init.vim` with only `vim-startuptime` ,
`vim-plug` and given statusline plugin installed.
2021-09-20 13:40:38 +00:00
In control just `vim-startuptime` and`vim-plug` is installed.
And measured time is complete startuptime of vim not time spent
on specific plugin. These numbers are average of 20 runs.

## Installation
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
### [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
```vim
2021-10-22 04:57:04 +00:00
Plug 'nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim'
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
" If you want to have icons in your statusline choose one of these
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'
```
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
### [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
```lua
use {
2021-10-22 04:57:04 +00:00
'nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim',
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons', opt = true}
}
```
2021-09-20 11:46:38 +00:00
You'll also have need to have a patched font if you want icons.
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
## Usage and customization
2021-03-02 12:58:34 +00:00
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
Lualine has sections as shown below.
```
+-------------------------------------------------+
2021-03-10 23:37:39 +00:00
| A | B | C X | Y | Z |
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
+-------------------------------------------------+
```
Each sections holds it's components e.g. current vim's mode.
2021-11-16 02:56:20 +00:00
#### Configuring lualine in init.vim
2021-09-20 16:03:10 +00:00
All the examples below are in lua. You can use the same examples
in `.vim` file by wrapping them in lua heredoc like this:
```vim
lua < < END
require'lualine'.setup()
END
```
checkout `:help lua-heredoc` .
2021-11-16 02:56:20 +00:00
#### Default config
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
```lua
require'lualine'.setup {
options = {
icons_enabled = true,
2021-08-14 08:39:10 +00:00
theme = 'auto',
2021-09-14 15:14:23 +00:00
component_separators = { left = '', right = ''},
section_separators = { left = '', right = ''},
2021-10-23 12:44:06 +00:00
disabled_filetypes = {},
2021-10-07 22:18:14 +00:00
always_divide_middle = true,
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
},
sections = {
lualine_a = {'mode'},
2021-08-16 18:30:33 +00:00
lualine_b = {'branch', 'diff',
2021-08-26 18:15:18 +00:00
{'diagnostics', sources={'nvim_lsp', 'coc'}}},
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
lualine_c = {'filename'},
lualine_x = {'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype'},
lualine_y = {'progress'},
lualine_z = {'location'}
},
inactive_sections = {
lualine_a = {},
lualine_b = {},
lualine_c = {'filename'},
lualine_x = {'location'},
lualine_y = {},
lualine_z = {}
},
tabline = {},
extensions = {}
}
```
2021-08-04 01:13:37 +00:00
If you want to get your current lualine config. you can

### Separators
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2021-09-14 03:41:19 +00:00
Lualine defines two kinds of separators:
* `section_separators` - separators between sections
* `components_separators` - separators between components in sections
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
```lua
2021-03-17 00:22:00 +00:00
options = {
2021-09-14 15:14:23 +00:00
section_separators = { left = '', right = ''},
component_separators = { left = '', right = ''}
2021-03-17 00:22:00 +00:00
}
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
```
2021-09-14 15:14:23 +00:00
Here left means it'll be used for left sections (a, b, c) and right means
it'll be used for right sections (x, y, z).
2021-11-16 02:56:20 +00:00
#### Disabling separators
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00
```lua
2021-03-19 02:52:13 +00:00
options = {section_separators = '', component_separators = ''}
2020-12-30 16:31:38 +00:00

```lua
sections = {lualine_a = {'FugitiveHead'}}

Variables from `g:` , `v:` , `t:` , `w:` , `b:` , `o` , `go:` , `vo:` , `to:` , `wo:` , `bo:` scopes can be used.
2021-02-10 10:40:29 +00:00
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
See `:h lua-vim-variables` and `:h lua-vim-options` if you are not sure what to use.
2021-02-10 10:40:29 +00:00
2021-03-02 23:34:45 +00:00
```lua
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
sections = {lualine_a = {'g:coc_status', 'bo:filetype'}}

##### Lua expressions as lualine component
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
You can use any valid lua expression as a component including
* oneliners
* global variables
* require statements
```lua
2021-09-03 12:49:05 +00:00
sections = {lualine_c = {"os.date('%a')", 'data', "require'lsp-status'.status()"}}
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
```
2021-09-20 13:11:41 +00:00
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
`data` is a global variable in this example.

2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
### Component options
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
Component options can change the way a component behave.
There are two kinds of options:
2021-05-13 19:08:36 +00:00
* global options affecting all components
* local options affecting specific
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
Global options can be used as local options (can be applied to specific components)
but you cannot use local options as global.
Global option used locally overwrites the global, for example:
2021-09-20 13:11:41 +00:00
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
```lua
require'lualine'.setup {
2021-09-14 15:14:23 +00:00
options = {fmt = string.lower},
sections = {lualine_a = {
{'mode', fmt = function(str) return str:sub(1,1) end}},
lualine_b = {'branch'}}
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
}
```
2021-02-10 10:40:29 +00:00
2021-09-14 15:14:23 +00:00
`mode` will be formatted with the passed fa=unction so only first char will be
shown . On the other hand branch will be formatted with global formatter
`string.lower` so it will be showed in lower case.
2021-02-10 10:40:29 +00:00
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
#### Available options
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2021-11-11 10:12:13 +00:00
#### Global options
2021-09-21 06:26:19 +00:00
These are `options` that are used in options table.
They set behavior of lualine.
Values set here are treated as default for other options
that work in component level.
for example even though `icons_enabled` is a general component option.
you can set `icons_enabled` to `false` and icons will be disabled on all
component. You can still overwrite defaults set in option table by specifying
the option value in component.
2021-03-02 23:34:45 +00:00
```lua
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
options = {
2021-09-21 06:26:19 +00:00
theme = 'auto', -- lualine theme
component_separators = {left = '', right = ''},

#### General component options
2021-11-11 10:12:13 +00:00
2021-09-21 06:26:19 +00:00
These are options that control behavior at component level
and are available for all components.
2021-04-12 06:14:43 +00:00

-- arround component. Option need to be set like

### Tabline
2021-09-14 03:33:18 +00:00
2021-03-10 23:35:08 +00:00
You can use lualine to display components in tabline.
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
The configuration for tabline sections is exactly the same as for statusline.
2021-09-20 13:11:41 +00:00
2021-03-10 23:37:39 +00:00
```lua
2021-03-17 00:22:00 +00:00
tabline = {
lualine_a = {},
lualine_b = {'branch'},
lualine_c = {'filename'},
lualine_x = {},
lualine_y = {},
lualine_z = {}
2021-03-06 15:03:00 +00:00
}
```
2021-09-20 13:11:41 +00:00
2021-03-06 15:03:00 +00:00
This will show branch and filename component in top of neovim inside tabline .
2021-09-20 13:11:41 +00:00
lualine also provides 2 components buffers & tabs that you can use to get more traditional tabline/bufferline.
```lua
tabline = {
lualine_a = {'buffers'},
lualine_b = {'branch'},
lualine_c = {'filename'},
lualine_x = {},
lualine_y = {},
lualine_z = {'tabs'}
}
```
You can also completely move your statusline to tabline by configuring
2021-05-13 19:01:37 +00:00
`lualine.tabline` and disabling `lualine.sections` and `lualine.inactive_sections` .
2021-03-06 15:03:00 +00:00
2021-03-10 23:37:39 +00:00
```lua
2021-03-17 00:22:00 +00:00
tabline = {
2021-03-06 15:03:00 +00:00
......
2021-03-17 00:22:00 +00:00
},
sections = {},
inactive_sections = {},
2021-03-06 15:03:00 +00:00
```
2021-09-20 13:11:41 +00:00
If you want a more sophisticated tabline you can use other
tabline plugins with lualine too . For example:
2021-08-09 10:36:52 +00:00
- [nvim-bufferline ](https://github.com/akinsho/nvim-bufferline.lua )
- [tabline.nvim ](https://github.com/kdheepak/tabline.nvim )
tabline.nvim even uses lualines theme by default 🙌
You can find a bigger list [here ](https://github.com/rockerBOO/awesome-neovim#tabline )
