ZPLUG-DEFER(5)

💖 zplug-defer 💖 — from the ZPLUG Manual, no cap

okay bestie, gather round, because this page is lowkey about ✨timing✨ and timing is everything 🕰️

✨ NAME ✨

zplug-defer — it defers the loading of a package, periodt 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

zplug "username/reponame", defer:1

real quick though, because words matter: the word package here means the string in the format "username/reponame". that's the whole definition, don't overthink it 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea 🍓 — with the defer tag you get to set the priority of loading the packages. you're basically telling zplug "bestie, hold this one, i'll call you when i'm ready."

and if the value is 2 or above? zplug will source the plugin after compinit. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

here's the zplug defer tag deets, table-ified into something your eyeballs can vibe with:

• Possive Values — 0..3
• Default value — 0

(and yes, that's literally how the table header is spelled in the original, we're keeping it, character for character, because the facts do not change just because the vibe did 💀)

besides all that, by using the zstyle command you can change that default value:

$ zstyle ":zplug:tag" defer 1

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

Priority:

$ zplug "~/.zsh", \
    as:plugin, \
    defer:1

look at that line continuation glow-up 🧚
