PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO OTHER PLUGINS*lualine-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>
All times are measured with only `startuptime.vim` and given statusline plugin

USAGE AND CUSTOMIZATION *lualine-usage-and-customization*
Lualine has sections as shown below.
>
+-------------------------------------------------+
| A | B | C X | Y | Z |
+-------------------------------------------------+
<
Each sections holds its components e.g. current vims mode.
Default config

SEPARATORS
Lualine defines two kinds of separators:
- `section_separators` - separators between sections
- `components_separators` - separators between components in sections
>
options = {
section_separators = {'', ''},
component_separators = {'', ''}
}
<
Disabling separators

options = {section_separators = '', component_separators = ''}

CHANGING COMPONENTS IN LUALINE SECTIONS
>
sections = {lualine_a = {'mode'}}
<
**Available components**
- `branch` (git branch)
- `diagnostics` (diagnostics count from your prefered source)
- `encoding` (file encoding)
- `fileformat` (file format)
- `filename`
- `filesize`
- `filetype`
- `hostname`
- `location` (location in file in line:column format)
- `mode` (vim mode)
- `progress` (%progress in file)
- `diff` (git diff status)

LUA FUNCTIONS AS LUALINE COMPONENT
>
local function hello()
return [[hello world]]
end
sections = {lualine_a = {hello}}
<
VIM FUNCTIONS AS LUALINE COMPONENT
>
sections = {lualine_a = {'FugitiveHead'}}
<
*lualine-Vims-statusline-items-as-lualine-component*
>

<
VIM VARIABLES AS LUALINE COMPONENT
Variables from `g:`, `v:`, `t:`, `w:`, `b:`, `o`, `go:`, `vo:`, `to:`, `wo:`,
`bo:` scopes can be used.
See `:h lua-vim-variables` and `:h lua-vim-options` if you are not sure what to
use.
>
sections = {lualine_a = {'g:coc_status', 'bo:filetype'}}
<
LUA EXPRESSIONS AS LUALINE COMPONENT
You can use any valid lua expression as a component including * oneliners *
global variables * require statements
>
sections = {lualine_c = {"os.date('%a')", 'data', "require'lsp-status'.status()"}}
<
`data` is a global variable in this example.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPONENT OPTIONS
Component options can change the way a component behave. There are two kinds of
options: * global options affecting all components * local options affecting
specific
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:
>
require'lualine'.setup {
options = {lower = true},
sections = {lualine_a = {{'mode', lower = false}}, lualine_b = {'branch'}}
}
<
`mode` will be displayed with `lower = false` and `branch` will be displayed
with `lower = true`
*lualine-Available-options*
**Global options**

options = {
icons_enabled = true, -- displays icons in alongside component
padding = 1, -- adds padding to the left and right of components

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TABLINE
You can use lualine to display components in tabline. The configuration for
tabline sections is exactly the same as for statusline.
>
tabline = {
lualine_a = {},
lualine_b = {'branch'},
lualine_c = {'filename'},
lualine_x = {},
lualine_y = {},
lualine_z = {}
}
<
This will show branch and filename component in top of neovim inside tabline.
You can also completely move your statuline to tabline by configuring
`lualine.tabline` and disabling `lualine.sections` and
`lualine.inactive_sections`.
>
tabline = {
......
},
sections = {},
inactive_sections = {},
<
If youre looking for bufferline or want to show tabs in tabline. There are
manny awesome plugins that can do that. For example:
- 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>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTENSIONS
Lualine extensions change statusline appearance for a window/buffer with
specified filetypes.
By default no extension are loaded to improve performance. You can load
extensions with:
>
extensions = {'quickfix'}
<
**Available extensions**
- chadtree
- fugitive
- fzf
- nerdtree
- nvim-tree
- quickfix
**Custom extensions**
You can define your own extensions. If you think an extension might be useful
for others then please submit a pr.
>
local my_extension = {sections = {lualine_a = 'mode'}, filetypes = {'lua'}}
require'lualine'.setup {extensions = {my_extension}}
<
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISABLING LUALINE
You can disable lualine for specific filetypes
>
options = {disabled_filetypes = {'lua'}}
