|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
[Download plug.vim](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim)
|
|
and put it in the "autoload" directory.
|
|
|
|
###### Unix
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
###### Neovim
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fLo ~/.config/nvim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
###### Windows
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
md ~\vimfiles\autoload
|
|
|
|
$uri = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'
|
|
(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($uri, (Resolve-Path ~\vimfiles\autoload\plug.vim))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Add a vim-plug section to your `~/.vimrc` (or `~/.config/nvim/init.vim` for Neovim):
|
|
|
|
1. Begin the section with `plug#begin()`
|
|
1. List the plugins with `Plug` commands
|
|
1. `plug#end()` to update `&runtimepath` and initialize plugin system
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
|
|
|
|
" Make sure you use single quotes
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/seoul256.vim'
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/vim-easy-align'
|
|
|
|
" Group dependencies, vim-snippets depends on ultisnips
|
|
Plug 'SirVer/ultisnips' | Plug 'honza/vim-snippets'
|
|
|
|
" On-demand loading
|
|
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' }

|
|
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'dir': '~/.fzf', 'do': './install --all' }
|
|
|
|
" Unmanaged plugin (manually installed and updated)
|
|
Plug '~/my-prototype-plugin'
|
|
|
|
" Add plugins to &runtimepath
|
|
call plug#end()
|

Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'
|
|
call plug#end()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### On-demand loading of plugins
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" NERD tree will be loaded on the first invocation of NERDTreeToggle command
|
|
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' }
|
|
|
|
" Multiple commands
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/vim-github-dashboard', { 'on': ['GHDashboard', 'GHActivity'] }
|
|
|
|
" Loaded when clojure file is opened
|
|
Plug 'tpope/vim-fireplace', { 'for': 'clojure' }
|
|
|
|
" Multiple file types
|
|
Plug 'kovisoft/paredit', { 'for': ['clojure', 'scheme'] }
|
|
|
|
" On-demand loading on both conditions
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/vader.vim', { 'on': 'Vader', 'for': 'vader' }
|
|
|
|
" Code to execute when the plugin is loaded on demand
|
|
Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe', { 'for': 'cpp' }
|
|
autocmd! User YouCompleteMe if !has('vim_starting') | call youcompleteme#Enable() | endif
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`for` option is generally not needed as most plugins for specific file types
|
|
usually don't have too much code in `plugin` directory. You might want to
|
|
examine the output of `vim --startuptime` before applying the option.
|
|
|
|
### Post-update hooks
|
|
|
|
There are some plugins that require extra steps after installation or update.
|
|
In that case, use `do` option to describe the task to be performed.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
Plug 'Shougo/vimproc.vim', { 'do': 'make' }
|
|
Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': './install.py' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you need more control, you can pass a reference to a Vim function that
|
|
takes a single argument.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
function! BuildYCM(info)
|
|
" info is a dictionary with 3 fields
|
|
" - name: name of the plugin
|
|
" - status: 'installed', 'updated', or 'unchanged'
|
|
" - force: set on PlugInstall! or PlugUpdate!
|
|
if a:info.status == 'installed' || a:info.force
|
|
!./install.py
|
|
endif
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
Plug 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': function('BuildYCM') }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both forms of post-update hook are executed inside the directory of the plugin
|
|
and only run when the repository has changed, but you can force it to run
|
|
unconditionally with the bang-versions of the commands: `PlugInstall!` and
|
|
`PlugUpdate!`.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to escape BARs and double-quotes when you write `do` option inline
|
|
as they are mistakenly recognized as command separator or the start of the
|
|
trailing comment.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': 'yes \| ./install' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
But you can avoid the escaping if you extract the inline specification using a
|
|
variable (or any Vimscript expression) as follows:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:fzf_install = 'yes | ./install'
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': g:fzf_install }
|
|
```
