autoload

Summary

autoload'' marks functions from the plugin for autoloading. It is equivalent to calling atinit'autoload the-function' but supports convenient renaming syntax.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice autoload"my-function"
zi ice autoload"func1 func2"
zi ice autoload"original-name → new-name"
zi ice autoload"fun → my-fun; fun2 → my-fun2"

Details

Functions named in the autoload'' value are set up for autoloading from the plugin’s directory. The renaming syntax (→ or ->) allows the function to be exposed under a different name.

Multiple functions are separated by spaces; multiple rename pairs by ;.

Equivalent to atinit'autoload fun' but more declarative.

Examples

# Autoload two functions from a utility plugin
zi ice autoload"my-util other-util"
zi light user/zsh-functions

# Rename on autoload
zi ice autoload"long-function-name → shortfn"
zi light user/zsh-utils
