.lazy.lua, the hidden gem of project specific configuration

• neovim
• lazyvim

After being stuck with the global configuration for a while, I found a hidden gem in the lazyvim plugin called .lazy.lua uwhich allows me to override specific plugins for specific projects.

To make the magic happen, you need to create a .lazy.lua file in the root of your project and add the custom configuration to it. For exapmle, I have a global conform configuration for javascript, typescript and json using eslint and prettier. However, for a specific project, I want to use biomeinstead. Then I add the following configuration to the.lazy.lua file:

return {
  "stevearc/conform.nvim",
  opts = {
    formatters_by_ft = {
      javascript = { "biome" },
      typescript = { "biome" },
      json = { "biome"}
    }
  }
}

This approach is very useful and it is a true hidden gem of the lazyvim plugin. Thank you for this blog that shows me how to use it.
