## Screenshots
Here is a preview of how lualine can look like.
Screenshots of all available themes are listed in [THEMES.md](./THEMES.md)
## Performance compared to other plugins
Unlike other statusline plugins lualine loads only defined components, nothing else.
Startup time performance measured with an amazing plugin [tweekmonster/startuptime.vim](https://github.com/tweekmonster/startuptime.vim)

## Installation
### [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
```vim
Plug 'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim'
" If you want to have icons in your statusline choose one of these
Plug 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons'
Plug 'ryanoasis/vim-devicons'
```
### [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)
```lua
use {
'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim',
requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons', opt = true}
}
```
## Usage and customization
Lualine has sections as shown below.
```
+-------------------------------------------------+
| A | B | C X | Y | Z |
+-------------------------------------------------+
```
Each sections holds it's components e.g. current vim's mode.
Colorscheme of sections is mirrored, meaning section `A` will have the same colorscheme as section `Z` etc.
Configuration is currently limited to lua, please use lua block or a separate lua file to configure lualine.
### Starting lualine
```lua
local lualine = require('lualine')
lualine.status()
```
### Setting a theme
```lua
lualine.theme = 'gruvbox'
```
All available themes are listed in [THEMES.md](./THEMES.md)
Please create a pr if you managed to port a popular theme before me, [here is how to do it](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
### Changing separator in section
Lualine defines a separator between components in given section, the default
separator is `|`. You can change the separator this way:
```lua
lualine.separator = '|'
```
or disable it
```lua
lualine.separator = ''
```
### Changing components in lualine sections
Lualine defaults
```lua
lualine.sections = {
lualine_a = { 'mode' },
lualine_b = { 'branch' },
lualine_c = { 'filename' },
lualine_x = { 'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype' },
lualine_y = { 'progress' },
lualine_z = { 'location' },
lualine_diagnostics = { }
}
lualine.inactiveSections = {
lualine_a = { },
lualine_b = { },
lualine_c = { 'filename' },
lualine_x = { 'location' },
lualine_y = { },
lualine_z = { }
}
```
Available components
* general
* branch
* encoding
* fileformat
* filename
* filetype
* location
* mode
* progress
* plugin
* signify
Using custom functions as lualine component
You can define a custom function as a lualine component
```lua
local function hello()
return [[hello world]]
end
lualine.sections = { lualine_a = { hello } }
```
### Loading plugin extensions
Lualine extensions change statusline appearance for a window/buffer with a plugin loaded e.g. [junegunn/fzf.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim)
By default no plugin extension are loaded to improve performance. If you are using a plugin which is supported you can load it this way:
```lua
lualine.extensions = { 'fzf' }
```
All available extensions are listed in [EXTENSIONS.md](./EXTENSIONS.md)
### Full config example using [packer.nvim](https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim)
packer config
```lua
use {
'hoob3rt/lualine.nvim',
requires = {'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons', opt = true},
config = function()
local lualine = require('lualine')
lualine.theme = 'gruvbox'
lualine.separator = '|'
lualine.sections = {
lualine_a = { 'mode' },
lualine_b = { 'branch' },
lualine_c = { 'filename' },
lualine_x = { 'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype' },
lualine_y = { 'progress' },
lualine_z = { 'location' },
lualine_diagnostics = { }
}
lualine.inactiveSections = {
lualine_a = { },
lualine_b = { },
lualine_c = { 'filename' },
lualine_x = { 'location' },
lualine_y = { },
lualine_z = { }
}
lualine.extensions = { 'fzf' }
lualine.status()
end
}
```
