Package documentation¶
widget.lua checks lazy.nvim for available plugin updates and publishes one item per outdated plugin to EasyBar's native inbox.
Each item has an Update action. The source context menu can refresh the snapshot, update every outdated plugin, and enable or disable automatic updates. Update actions use Lazy's normal update API and update the Lazy lockfile.
Requirements¶
The native inbox must be enabled. Neovim must be available through [app.env].PATH, and its normal configuration must set up lazy.nvim. An optional executable override may be supplied through [app.env]:
[app.env]
NVIM = "/opt/homebrew/bin/nvim"
NVIM may contain an executable name or an absolute path, but not command-line arguments.
The standalone menu-bar presentation is the nvim-lazy package. Install only one presentation unless duplicate update checks are intentional.
Configuration¶
Automatic updates are enabled by default. Every configured interval, the widget checks for plugin updates and installs all available updates. Set automatic_updates = false to keep scheduled checks and Inbox notifications without changing installed plugins automatically. Manual item and Update all actions remain available.
Configure an interval from 5 minutes to 7 days and optional Inbox ordering, then reload EasyBar:
[widgets.nvim-lazy-inbox]
automatic_updates = true
refresh_interval_minutes = 60
source_order = 35
context_order = 35
source_order controls the group when the Inbox is grouped by source. context_order controls its position in the Inbox source menu; lower values appear first. The source menu shows and persists the automatic-update toggle.
