My Neovim-Lua Configuration

Advantages

• Fast Startup
• Better Configuration
• Native LSP support

Directory Structure

For language server build files you can create a directory name language-servers and put the configuration of language servers in their individual folders.

Like sumneko-lua and jdtls require such configuration.

• init: init.lua contains all the main modules required.

• Plugins: All the installed are in lua/plugins/init.lua and their configuration is stored in their respective files inside lua/plugins.

• Keybindings: General keybinds are stored in lua/keymaps.lua and plugin specific keybindings are stored in lua/plugins/plugin_keybindings.lua. Few plugins have some of the key-mapping stored in their config too.

• Settings: General settings are stored in lua/settings.lua and plugin specific as mentioned before are stored in lua/plugins.

• Colors: Color configuration, both general and plugin's variables are setup in lua/colors.lua file. General highlight group overrides are provided in lua/colors.lua, while plugin specific highlight groups are stored in their individual configuration files. This is the only reason for putting plugin module after colors in init.lua.

• colpallete.lua: file contains custom color palletes which can be used by plugins by loading individually in their configuration file.

• LSP: All the LSP related stuff are in lua/lsp/init.lua. Note that completion and other LSP related plugin's configuration are in their configuration files in lua/plugins directory.
