setup not called unless I supply a config function that does it

[mvolkmann]

I have plugin that has a setup function. I can configure use of this plugin with the following:

return {
  "mvolkmann/autorun.nvim",
  lazy = false, -- load on startup, not just when required
  config = function()
    require("autorun").setup()
  end
}

I don't understand why I need to write the config function. I thought what I wrote is the what the default config function does it I don't supply it.

you can also add opts = {}

[mvolkmann]

@folke Are you saying that config will only default to a function that calls require("plugin-name").setup() if I set opts to something? I see that doing that works, but I just want to be clear that setting opts is what causes that default to take effect.

[folke]

That, or when you set config= true. That's the same as opts = {}
