= Jetpack.vim

Jetpack.vim is a plugin manager for https://vim.org[Vim], https://neovim.io[Neovim], and https://github.com/terrychou/iVim[iVim].

The lightning-fast minimalist plugin manager for Vim/ Neovim. vim-jetpack is a jetpack for the most of vimmers. Unbelievably, it is faster than vimrc uses the built-in plugin manager only.

== Features

  • Single file installation
    ** You need to just download a single file and put it.
  • First-class Lua support
    ** This plugin is not written in Lua but we provide a Lua API.
  • Fancy User Interface
    ** You can see a progress of installation with a graphical progress bar.
  • pack/*/start -free installation
    ** You can install plugins without pack/*/start directory.
  • Git-free installation
    ** You can optionally install plugins without git.

== Installation

The installation is very simple. You just need to download a single file and put it on the runtimepath.

== Usage

Jetpack was initially implemented as a successor of vim-plug. Nowadays, we also provide compatibility layers for other plugin managers, dein.vim, packer.nvim.nvim, and paq.nvim.nvim. You can use Jetpack as a drop-in replacement of them. In personal opinion, vim-plug style is the most stable and easy to use.

=== Vim-plug style

[source, vim]

packadd vim-jetpack
call jetpack#begin()
Jetpack 'tani/vim-jetpack', {'opt': 1} "bootstrap
Jetpack 'https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale'
Jetpack 'junegunn/fzf.vim'
Jetpack 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': {-> fzf#install()} }
Jetpack 'neoclide/coc.nvim', { 'branch': 'release' }
Jetpack 'neoclide/coc.nvim', { 'branch': 'master', 'do': 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile' }
Jetpack 'vlime/vlime', { 'rtp': 'vim' }
Jetpack 'dracula/vim', { 'as': 'dracula' }
Jetpack 'tpope/vim-fireplace', { 'for': 'clojure' }
call jetpack#end()

=== Dein.vim style

[source, vim]

packadd vim-jetpack
call jetpack#begin()
call jetpack#load_toml('path/to/dein.toml')
call jetpack#add('tani/vim-jetpack', {'opt': 1}) "bootstrap
call jetpack#add('https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale')
call jetpack#add('junegunn/fzf.vim')
call jetpack#add('junegunn/fzf', { 'build': './install' })
call jetpack#add('neoclide/coc.nvim', { 'branch': 'release' })
call jetpack#add('neoclide/coc.nvim', { 'branch': 'master', 'build': 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile' })
call jetpack#add('vlime/vlime', { 'rtp': 'vim' })
call jetpack#add('dracula/vim', { 'name': 'dracula' })
call jetpack#add('tpope/vim-fireplace', { 'on_ft': 'clojure' })
call jetpack#end()

=== Legacy packer.nvim style

[source, lua]

-- Packer.nvim v1
vim.cmd('packadd vim-jetpack')
require('jetpack.packer').startup(function(use)
use { 'tani/vim-jetpack' } -- bootstrap
use 'https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale'
use 'junegunn/fzf.vim'
use {'junegunn/fzf', run = 'call fzf#install()' }
use {'neoclide/coc.nvim', branch = 'release'}
use {'neoclide/coc.nvim', branch = 'master', run = 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'}

run = ':TSUpdate',
config = function()
require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
ensure_installed = 'maintained',
highlight = { enable = true }
}
end
}
end)

=== Modern packer.nvim/ paq.nvim style

[source, lua]

-- Packer.nvim v2
vim.cmd('packadd vim-jetpack')
require('jetpack.packer').add {
{'tani/vim-jetpack'}, -- bootstrap
'https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale',
'junegunn/fzf.vim',
{'junegunn/fzf', run = 'call fzf#install()' },

run = ':TSUpdate',
config = function()
require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
ensure_installed = 'maintained',
highlight = { enable = true }
}
end
}
}

[source, lua]

-- Paq.nvim
vim.cmd('packadd vim-jetpack')
require('jetpack.paq') {
{'tani/vim-jetpack'}, -- bootstrap
'https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale',
'junegunn/fzf.vim',
{'junegunn/fzf', run = './install' },
{'neoclide/coc.nvim', branch = 'release'},
{'neoclide/coc.nvim', branch = 'master', run = 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'},
{'dracula/vim', as = 'dracula' },
}

== Configuration

=== Configuration Variables

We provide configuration variables to change the internal behaviors: copying files, downloading plugins.

g:jetpack_download_method:: Jetpack downloads plugins with git by default. Further, Jetpack can download plugins with git, cURL, and wget This is useful for environments without git. Non-git options are not recommended because they are slower than git as jeptack downloads the whole repository as a tar archive.

[TIP]
.iVim does not have git command.

We recommend the following configuration to avoid
the external commands except cURL.
[source, vim]

let g:jetpack_download_method = 'curl'

====

=== Configuration Parameters

CAUTION: You might be able to use another configuration parameters, you can use on_cmd in vim-plug style for example, but it might be going to be removed in the future. Thus, we recommend you not to use unlisted configuration parameters.

==== Vim-plug style

You can pass the configuration parameters to Jetpack command as follows.

[source, vim]

Jetpack 'tani/vim-jetpack', { 'as': 'jetpack' }

== API

CAUTION: You might be able to use other functions, commands, and events. but it might be going to be removed in the future. Thus, we recommend you not to use unlisted ones.

=== VimL Function

  • jetpack#begin([path])
    ** The function setups jetpack plugins. All plugin declarations should be
    placed after this function. You can give path if you want to use another
    directory to manage plugins.
  • jetpack#add(repo [, options])
    ** repo is a pair of string concatenated with / such as tani/vim-jetpack.
    options is a dictionary. See below.
  • jetpack#sync()
    ** The function performs to install, update, and bundle all plugins.
    The function is everything all you need to know.
    You must run this function after a change of your configuration.
  • jetpack#end()
    ** The function loads declared plugins. All plugin declarations should be
    placed before this function.
  • jetpack#tap(name)
    ** It returns a truthy value if the plugin is available,
    otherwise it returns a falsy value.
  • jetpack#names()
    ** It returns the list of plugin names registered including unavailable
    plugins.
  • jetpack#get(name)
    ** It returns metadata of the plugin if possible, otherwise it returns {}.
    This is the same as dein#get of dein.vim.
  • jetpack#load(name)
    ** This is a wrapper function for packadd; since it fires config options,
    etc., it is recommended to use this instead of packadd.
  • jetpack#load_toml(path)
    ** This function load dein-style toml settings.

=== Lua Function

All jetpack# functions are exported as jetpack module. You can call them using require('jetpack') as you want. Additionally, functions compatible with packer.nvim and paq.nvim are available.

  • require('jetpack.paq')(config)
    ** This function loads plugins described in config like paq.nvim.
  • require('jetpack.packer').startup(config)
    ** This function loads plugins described by use function like packer.nvim.
  • require('jetpack.packer').add(config)
    ** This function loads plugins described by use function like packer.nvim.
  • require('jetpack.packer').init(option)
    ** Now supported option is only package_root.

=== Commands

  • :JetpackSync ** The function performs to install, update, and bundle all plugins. The function is everything all you need to know. You must run this function after a change of your configuration.

  • :Jetpack repo [, options] ** A command version of jetpack#add(). It is useful for the vim-plug style declaration of plugins in vimrc.

=== Events

  • User JetpackPre:{plugin-name}/ User JetpackPost:{plugin-name} ** Let {plugin-name} be the name of the plugin. The specified event is fired before/after the plugin is loaded.

  • User Jetpack{PluginName}Pre/ User Jetpack{PluginName}Post ** Let {PluginName} be a CamelCase of plugin name. The specified event is fired before/after the plugin is loaded.

[%autowidth] |=== | plugin-name | EventName

| vim-jetpack | VimJetpack

| goyo.vim | GoyoVim

| vim_foo | VimFoo |===

=== Autocmd Groups

  • Jetpack
    ** vim-jetpack's lazy loading system uses autocommands
    defined under Jetpack autocmd-group.
