Lua api for lazy

[AckslD]

I made a convinience function to quckly switch to the directory of one of my plugins which can be useful to look at the code or add print statements for debugging. I did this by accessing require('lazy.core.config').plugins and was just wondering if this is maybe considered internal and might change often and if there is a plan to expose some other lua api to access eg the plugins currently configured.

Also thought I'd share the function if someone finds it useful:

local M = {}

M.workon = function()
  local config = require('lazy.core.config')
  vim.ui.select(vim.tbl_values(config.plugins), {
    prompt = 'lcd to:',
    format_item = function(plugin)
      return string.format('%s (%s)', plugin.name, plugin.dir)
    end,
  }, function(plugin)
    if not plugin then
      return
    end
    vim.schedule(function()
      vim.cmd.lcd(plugin.dir)
    end)
  end)
end

return M

Nice!

I'm not planning to fully document the API, but feel free to use it. Especially that part should be fairly stable.

Here is another useful one for Telescope (for the keys prop):

  keys = {
    {
      "<leader>fp",
      function()
        require("telescope.builtin").find_files({
          cwd = require("lazy.core.config").options.root,
        })
      end,
      desc = "Find Plugin File",
    },
  },

You could use your select first to get a plugin and then launch telescope.

Definitely not planning on bringing symlinks back :) I made a lot of effort to make sure symlinks are not needed with lazy. It simplifies a lot of things.

I may add some proper telescope support soon though. May be useful for a lot of things related to plugins

Makes sense :)

There's actually alread a telescope extension! https://github.com/tsakirist/telescope-lazy.nvim

Looks pretty useful

If one wants to include all files one could also do:

local find_plugin_file = function()
  local dirs = vim.tbl_map(function(p) return p.dir end, vim.tbl_values(require('lazy.core.config').plugins))
  local cmd = {'fd', '.', '--type', 'f'}
  vim.list_extend(cmd, dirs)

  require('telescope.builtin').find_files({
    find_command = cmd,
  })
end

There's also <localleader>t that opens a terminal floating window for the plugin dirrectory. Use it on a plugin in the ui
