Installation

This plugin can be installed as part of 'mini.nvim' library (recommended) or as a standalone Git repository.

There are two branches to install from:

• main (default, recommended) will have latest development version of plugin. All changes since last stable release should be perceived as being in beta testing phase (meaning they already passed alpha-testing and are moderately settled).
• stable will be updated only upon releases with code tested during public beta-testing phase in main branch.

Here are code snippets for some common installation methods (use only one):

With mini.deps

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet
'mini.nvim' library	Main	Follow recommended 'mini.deps' installation
	Stable
Standalone plugin	Main	add('echasnovski/mini.notify')
	Stable	add({ source = 'echasnovski/mini.notify', checkout = 'stable' })

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet

	Stable	{ 'echasnovski/mini.nvim', version = '*' },
Standalone plugin	Main	{ 'echasnovski/mini.notify', version = false },
	Stable	{ 'echasnovski/mini.notify', version = '*' },

Github repo	Branch	Code snippet

Important: don't forget to call require('mini.notify').setup() to enable its functionality.

Note: if you are on Windows, there might be problems with too long file paths (like error: unable to create file <some file name>: Filename too long). Try doing one of the following:

• Enable corresponding git global config value: git config --system core.longpaths true. Then try to reinstall.

Default config

-- No need to copy this inside `setup()`. Will be used automatically.
{
  -- Content management
  content = {
    -- Function which formats the notification message
    -- By default prepends message with notification time
    format = nil,

    -- Function which orders notification array from most to least important
    -- By default orders first by level and then by update timestamp
    sort = nil,
  },

  -- Notifications about LSP progress
  lsp_progress = {
    -- Whether to enable showing
    enable = true,

    -- Duration (in ms) of how long last message should be shown
    duration_last = 1000,
  },

  -- Window options
  window = {
    -- Floating window config
    config = {},

    -- Maximum window width as share (between 0 and 1) of available columns
    max_width_share = 0.382,

    -- Value of 'winblend' option
    winblend = 25,
  },
}
