System Patterns

System Architecture

1. Configuration Layer Design

   • Core configuration (init.lua)
   • Module-based organization
   • Plugin management system
   • User customization layer

2. Feature Organization

   • LSP services management
   • Completion engine integration
   • File tree and navigation
   • Buffer and window management

3. Event System

   • Autocommands framework
   • Key mapping system
   • Plugin hooks
   • Custom events

Key Technical Decisions

1. Plugin Management

   • Use of lazy.nvim for plugin management
   • Lazy-loading strategy for performance
   • Conditional plugin loading
   • Dependencies management

2. LSP Implementation

   • Native LSP client usage
   • Mason.nvim for LSP server management
   • Language-specific configurations
   • Diagnostic system integration

3. Performance Optimization

   • Modular loading system
   • Cache implementation
   • Startup optimization
   • Memory management

Architecture Patterns

1. Module Pattern

   -- Module structure
   local M = {}
   -- Configuration
   M.setup = function(opts)
     -- Setup logic
   end
   -- Module functions
   M.function_name = function()
     -- Implementation
   end
   return M
   

2. Plugin Setup Pattern

   -- Plugin configuration pattern
   {
     "plugin/name",
     event = "Event",
     dependencies = {},
     config = function()
       require("plugin").setup({})
     end
   }
   

3. LSP Configuration Pattern

   -- LSP server setup pattern
   lspconfig[server].setup({
     capabilities = capabilities,
     on_attach = on_attach,
     settings = {}
   })
   

Implementation Guidelines

1. Code Organization

   • One feature per file
   • Clear module interfaces
   • Consistent naming conventions
   • Documentation standards

2. Configuration Standards

   • User-facing options
   • Default values
   • Type checking
   • Validation

3. Error Handling

   • Graceful degradation
   • User feedback
   • Debug logging
   • Recovery mechanisms

System Components

1. Core Components

   • Plugin manager
   • LSP client
   • Completion engine
   • File explorer

2. Language Support

   • LSP servers
   • Treesitter parsers
   • Language tools
   • Formatters

3. UI Components

   • Status line
   • Buffer line
   • Command line
   • Notifications

4. Integration Layer

   • Git integration
   • Terminal
   • Debug adapter
   • External tools
