+Create a Lua healthcheck *health-dev-lua*
+
+Healthchecks are functions that check the user environment, configuration,
+etc. Nvim has built-in healthchecks in $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/health/.
-health.vim functions are for creating new healthchecks. They mostly just do
-some layout and formatting, to give users a consistent presentation.
+To add a new healthcheck for your own plugin, simply define a Lua module in
+your plugin that returns a table with a "check()" function. |:checkhealth|
+will automatically find and invoke this function.
-health#report_start({name}) *health#report_start*
- Starts a new report. Most plugins should call this only once, but if
+If your plugin is named "foo", then its healthcheck module should be a file in
+one of these locations on 'runtimepath' or 'packpath':
+ - lua/foo/health/init.lua
+ - lua/foo/health.lua
+
+If your plugin provides a submodule named "bar" for which you want a separate
+healthcheck, define the healthcheck at one of these locations on 'runtimepath'
+or 'packpath':
+ - lua/foo/bar/health/init.lua
+ - lua/foo/bar/health.lua
+
+All submodules should return a Lua table containing the method `check()`.
+
+Copy this sample code into `lua/foo/health/init.lua` or `lua/foo/health.lua`,
+replacing "foo" in the path with your plugin name: >
+
+ local M = {}
+ local health = require("health")
+
+ M.check = function()
+ health.report_start("my_plugin report")
+ -- make sure setup function parameters are ok
+ if check_setup() then
+ health.report_ok("Setup function is correct")
+ else
+ health.report_error("Setup function is incorrect")
+ end
+ -- do some more checking
+ -- ...
