One-time attempt to require a lazy-loaded plugin without triggering lazy.nvim autoload

[fhfuih]

I have a plugin that is not declared as module=false. But in certain part of the spec, I may want to "attempt to require" the plugin,
but if not exist, don't let lazy.nvim to auto-load that module. I wonder if it is doable with some lazy.core functions.

To be specific about my use case: I have both cmp and luasnip lazy-loaded at InsertEnter.
I think luasnip may be useful elsewhere before InsertEnter so I don't want to declare module=false (Or correct me if I'm wrong!)
Now I am writing my statusline (heirline), and I want to put an indicator if I am inside a snippet (using luasnip's .jumpable()).
But inside this specific statusline config. I want to "attempt to require luasnip, and only show this indicator if luasnip is loaded AND it's jumpable". If luasnip is not loaded, it means I haven't entered insert mode yet, and the indicator is simply turned off. luasnip is not auto-loaded by this specific pcall(require, ..).

P.S. The lazy.core seems undocumented, but many helper functions are quite useful, and is also used by LazyVim. I borrowed some codes there in my config, but I would love to have a documentation of the core functions. Is there a plan to document them, or is there an existing doc that I missed?

You can check if package.loaded.luasnip is nil to tell whether luasnip is loaded already. I think that fulfills your use case.

Thanks! Can you please also help me find where this package.loaded thing is? 😂

It is a lua utility as far as I know. You can do :help package.loaded() to read more about it.

Ah I see! Thanks!
