Question 1

How do I install package-info.nvim with packer.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Add `use({ 'vuki656/package-info.nvim', requires = 'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim' })` to your packer config and run `:PackerSync`. Ensure you have Neovim >= 0.9.0 and a package manager like npm installed.

Question 2

Does package-info.nvim work with bun package manager?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports bun along with npm, yarn, and pnpm. It auto-detects from `bun.lock` or can be set manually in the config using `package_manager = 'bun'`.

Question 3

package-info.nvim vs just using terminal commands: which is faster?

Accepted Answer

For quick, single dependency checks and updates, package-info.nvim reduces context switching, but for batch operations or scripts, terminal commands may be more efficient due to the plugin's caching and performance limits.

Question 4

How to disable notifications in package-info.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Set `notifications = false` in the setup configuration. This stops pop-up alerts when running commands, which can be distracting in some workflows.

Question 5

Can package-info.nvim update all dependencies at once?

Accepted Answer

No, it focuses on per-line actions for individual dependencies. For bulk updates, you'd need to use terminal commands or other tools, as the plugin doesn't support mass operations.

Question 6

Why does package-info.nvim show cached versions instead of real-time data?

Accepted Answer

It caches outdated dependency results for one hour to avoid repeated slow fetches from `npm outdated`. Use `force = true` in the show function to bypass the cache and fetch fresh data.
