Minimap config in lua

Question

Sorry if the question looks dumb, is it possible to set the config file of minimap in lua ?

I test the following, but the plugin is not found (the package command works wheel eg. Minimap or MinimapClose).

the error

plugin/minimap.lua:4: module 'minimap' not found

plugin file

local status, packer = pcall(require, 'packer')

if (not status) then
  print('🔥 Packer is not installed')
  return
end

vim.cmd [[packadd packer.nvim]]

packer.startup(
  function(use)
    ... other plugins
    use {'wfxr/minimap.vim', as = 'minimap'}
  end
)

and my config file for minimap

local status, minimap = pcall(require, 'minimap')
if (not status) then return end

minimap.setup({
  config = function ()
    vim.g.minimap_width = 10
    vim.g.minimap_auto_start = 1
    vim.g.minimap_auto_start_win_enter = 1
  end
})

The error you are receiving is caused by you attempting to call the setup function of a Vimscript plugin. Remember that Vimscript plugins do not need a setup() function and not all Lua plugins need them either. In your case, you would need to define your global variables before the plugin is loaded:

run this before Packer loads your plugin:

vim.g.minimap_width = 10
vim.g.minimap_auto_start = 1
vim.g.minimap_auto_start_win_enter = 1

Plugin Spec:

use {
  'wfxr/minimap.vim',
  as = 'minimap',
}
