For the vast majority of plugins, Nix expressions are automatically generated by running [`./update.py`](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/update.py). This creates a [generated.nix](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/generated.nix) file based on the plugins listed in [vim-plugin-names](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/vim-plugin-names). Plugins are listed in alphabetical order in `vim-plugin-names` using the format `[github username]/[repository]`. For example https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree becomes `scrooloose/nerdtree`. Some plugins require overrides in order to function properly. Overrides are placed in [overrides.nix](/pkgs/misc/vim-plugins/overrides.nix). Overrides are most often required when a plugin requires some dependencies, or extra steps are required during the build process. For example `deoplete-fish` requires both `deoplete-nvim` and `vim-fish`, and so the following override was added: -```nix + +``` deoplete-fish = super.deoplete-fish.overrideAttrs(old: { dependencies = with super; [ deoplete-nvim vim-fish ]; }); |
