Defer loading with use-package

andyleejordan opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

Do you know how to defer the loading of evil-ediff with use-package? I just don't know what :bind or :mode to use to defer it (since I don't want it bound or loaded with a file). I think I'd need to (use-package ediff :config (use-package evil-ediff)) but am not sure, as evil-ediff requires both evil and ediff, and I'd want it loaded on demand (long after evil is loaded). Do you think this is accomplishable?

Try this

(use-package ediff
  :defer t
  :config (require 'evil-ediff))

@andschwa did that work?

Yes! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

(use-package ediff
  :defer t
  :config (use-package evil-ediff))

I was honestly surprised, since I expected ediff's bindings to longer be loaded; but it appears those auto-loads are added regardless. This worked great. Thanks @justbur!
