Lualine integration

[istrupin]

First and foremost -- this is a fantastic tool, and probably my favorite free or paid AI coding assistant that I've ever used due to the flexibility.

I have a question that I'm certain comes down to user error but I am trying to follow the lualine integration per the documentation and am having a bit of trouble.

After saving the code in the documentation as, say, companion_lualine.lua, if I try to require it in my lualine config like so:

return {
    'nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim',
    dependencies = { 'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons' },
    opts = {

        options = {
            icons_enabled = true,
            -- theme = 'auto',
            theme = 'rose-pine',
            component_separators = { left = '', right = '' },
            section_separators = { left = '', right = '' },
            disabled_filetypes = {
                statusline = {},
                winbar = {},
            },
            ignore_focus = {},
            always_divide_middle = true,
            globalstatus = false,
            refresh = {
                statusline = 1000,
                tabline = 1000,
                winbar = 1000,
            }
        },
        sections = {
            lualine_a = { 'mode' },
            lualine_b = { 'branch', 'diff', 'diagnostics' },
            lualine_c = { { 'filename', path = 1 } },
            lualine_x = { 'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype', {require("istrupin.companion_lualine")} },
            lualine_y = { 'progress' },
            lualine_z = { 'location' }
        },
        inactive_sections = {
            lualine_a = {},
            lualine_b = {},
            lualine_c = { 'filename' },
            lualine_x = { 'location' },
            lualine_y = {},
            lualine_z = {}
        },
        tabline = {},
        winbar = {},
        inactive_winbar = {},
        extensions = {}
    }
}

I get the following error

.../.config/nvim/lua/istrupin/companion_lualine.lua:1: module 'lualine.component' not found:

I'm sure this is a matter of me not setting up the require correctly with the order of when things need to load. For the sake of completeness, I did try asking companion to solve this for me but I didn't have much luck.

Instead of using the opts, try config

opts being a table will be resolved while the plugin spec is being determined , whereas config being a function will be called after all the plugins specs are loaded.

return {
    "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
    dependencies = { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" },
    config = function()
        require("lualine").setup({
            options = {
                icons_enabled = true,
                -- theme = 'auto',
                theme = "rose-pine",
                component_separators = { left = "", right = "" },
                section_separators = { left = "", right = "" },
                disabled_filetypes = {
                    statusline = {},
                    winbar = {},
                },
                ignore_focus = {},
                always_divide_middle = true,
                globalstatus = false,
                refresh = {
                    statusline = 1000,
                    tabline = 1000,
                    winbar = 1000,
                },
            },
            sections = {
                lualine_a = { "mode" },
                lualine_b = { "branch", "diff", "diagnostics" },
                lualine_c = { { "filename", path = 1 } },
                lualine_x = { "encoding", "fileformat", "filetype", { require("istrupin.companion_lualine") } },
                lualine_y = { "progress" },
                lualine_z = { "location" },
            },
            inactive_sections = {
                lualine_a = {},
                lualine_b = {},
                lualine_c = { "filename" },
                lualine_x = { "location" },
                lualine_y = {},
                lualine_z = {},
            },
            tabline = {},
            winbar = {},
            inactive_winbar = {},
            extensions = {},
        })
    end,
}

or You might try this

  lualine_x = { "encoding", "fileformat", "filetype", { function() return require("istrupin.companion_lualine") end } },

While the second suggestion with the function did not work for me, the first suggestion did! Thank you so much for your help! I had a feeling it had to do with the order of things loading.

Just for my own curiosity I'd love to figure out why the second suggestion didn't work If you have any pointers about that I'd love to hear them. But -- as far as getting my issue resolved, this did it!
