## 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 installed
| clean vimrc | lualine | lightline | airline |
| :------------: | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: |
| 8.943 ms | 9.034 ms | 11.463 ms | 13.425 ms |
## 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 can be configured with both lua and vimscript.
Click [here](#lua-config-example) if you want to see a config example in lua and [here](#vimscript-config-example) if you want to see a config example in vimscript.
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.
### Starting lualine
```lua
local lualine = require('lualine')
lualine.status()
```
### Setting a theme
```lua
lualine.options.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 two kinds of seperators. One is for sections and other is for components. Default section seperators are '', '' and component separators are '', ''.
They require powerline patched fonts. But you can easily change yours to something else like below
```lua
lualine.options.section_separators = {'', ''}
lualine.options.component_separators = {'', ''}
```
or disable it
```lua
lualine.options.section_separators = nil
lualine.options.component_separators = nil
```
### Changing components in lualine sections
<details>
<summary><b>Lualine defaults</b></summary>
```lua
lualine.sections = {
lualine_a = { 'mode' },
lualine_b = { 'branch' },
lualine_c = { 'filename' },
lualine_x = { 'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype' },

lualine_z = { }
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Available components</b></summary>
* branch (git branch)
* diagnostics (diagnostics count from your prefered source)
* encoding (file encoding)
* fileformat (file format)
* filename
* filetype

<summary><b>Using custom functions as lualine component</b></summary>
You can define a custom function as a lualine component
```lua
local function hello()
return [[hello world]]
end
lualine.sections.lualine_a = { hello }
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Using vim functions as lualine component</b></summary>
You can use vim functions as a lualine component
```lua
lualine.sections.lualine_b = { 'FugitiveHead' }
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Using variables as lualine component</b></summary>
You can use variables from vim and lua globals as a lualine component
Variables from g:, v:, t:, w:, b:, o, go:, vo:, to:, wo:, bo: scopes
can be used. Scopes ending with o are options usualy accessed with `&` in vimscript
```lua
lualine.sections.lualine_b = { 'g:coc_status', 'bo:filetype' }
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Options for components</b></summary>
### Available options:
#### Global options
Global options chnge behaviour of all suported components.
All of these options can also be specifically set to all supported components, full example below.
##### Available global options
Option | Default | Behaviour | Supported components
:------: | :------: | :----------: | :-----:
icons_enabled | true | Displays icons on components You should have nerd-fonts supported fonts to see icons properly. | branch, fileformat, filetype, location, diagnostics
padding | 1 | Adds padding to the left and right of components | all
left_padding | 1 | Adds padding to the left of components | all
right_padding | 1 | Adds padding to the right of components | all
upper | false | Changes components to be uppercase | all
lower | false | Changes components to be lowercase | all
format | nil | Takes a function . The funtion gets the result of component as argument and it's return value is displayed. So this function can parse and format the output as user wants. | all
##### Global options example
```lua
lualine.options.icons_enabled = true
```
#### Component specific options
As mentioned above, all global options can be applied to specific components.
However there are some options which are component-only (you cannot set them as globals)
Option | Default | Behaviour
:------: | :------: | :----:
icon | Differs for each component | Displays an icon in front of the component
color | nil | Sets custom color for the component in this format<br></br>`color = {fg = '#rrggbb', bg= '#rrggbb', gui='style'}`<br></br>The fields of color table are optional and default to theme
In addition, some components have unique options.
* `diagnostics` component options
Option | Default | Behaviour | Format
:------: | :------: | :----: | :---:
sources | `nil` | displays diagnostic count from defined source | array containing one or many string from set `{'nvim_lsp', 'coc', 'ale'}`
sections | `{'error', 'warn', 'info'}` | displays diagnostics of defined severity | array containing one or many string from set `{'error', 'warn', 'info'}`
color_error | `DiffDelete` foreground color | changes diagnostic's error section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
color_warn | `DiffText` foreground color | changes diagnostic's warn section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
color_info | `Normal` foreground color | changes diagnostic's info section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
symbols | `{error = ' ', warn = ' ', info = ' '}` or `{error = 'E:', warn = 'W:', info = 'I:'}` | changes diagnostic's info section foreground color | table containing one or more symbols for levels |
* `filename` component options
Option | Default | Behaviour
:------: | :------: | :----:
file_status | true | Displays file status (readonly status, modified status)
full_path | false | Displays relative path if set to `true`, absolute path if set to `false`
shorten | true | if `full_path` is true and `shorten` is `false` it shortens absolute path `aaa/bbb/ccc/file` to `a/b/c/file`
* `diff` component options
Option | Default | Behaviour | Format
:------: | :------: | :----: | :---:
colored | true | displays diff status in color if set to `true` |
color_added | `DiffAdd` foreground color | changes diff's added section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
color_modified | `DiffChange` foreground color | changes diff's changed section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
color_removed | `DiffDelete` foreground color | changes diff's removed section foreground color | color in `#rrggbb` format
symbols | `{added = '+', modified = '~', removed = '-'}` | changes diff's symbols | table containing on or more symbols |
##### Component options example
```lua
lualine.sections.lualine_b = {
{
'branch',
icon = '',
upper = true,
color = { fg = '#00aa22' }
},
{
'filename',
full_name = true,
shorten = true,
format = function(name)
-- Capitalize first charecter of filename to capital.
local path, fname = name:match('(.*/)(.*)')
if not path then path = ''; fname = name end
return path .. fname:sub(1, 1):upper() .. fname:sub(2, #fname)
end
}
}
```
</details>
### Using tabline as statusline
You can use lualine to display components in tabline .
The sections, configurations and highlights are same as statusline.
```
lualine.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
instead of lualine.sections & lualine.inactive_sections and setting them to empty
```
lualine.tabline = {
......
}
lualine.sections = {}
lualine.inactive_sections = {}
```
### 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)
### Lua config example
