how to use vimscript plugins with lua for neovim

I have some plugins that it's config use vim-script how can I config plugins that use vim-script with lua for neovim.

for example gruvbox use vim-script I look in docs for lua config but I didn't find any thing, I have to use vim-script to configure it.

Solution

While writing your nvim stuff in lua, the vim object is automatically injected into your code by Neovim. It allows getting and setting vim, plugins and variable related options in lua.

The gruvbox theme requires setting variables in the global scope. You can access the global scope using the vim.g field.

For example to set g:gruvbox_bold to 1, which is true in lua, you need to write

vim.g.gruvbox_bold = true

in your init.lua file.

I recommend you to take a look at this article. https://www.notonlycode.org/neovim-lua-config/. It is short and teaches the basics of using lua in Neovim.
