The following is an example.

Explorer style

Start by command:

:VFiler -auto-cd -auto-resize -keep -layout=left -name=explorer -width=30 -columns=indent,icon,name

Start by Lua script:

require('vfiler/config').setup {
  options = {
    auto_cd = true,
    auto_resize = true,
    keep = true,
    layout = 'left',
    name = 'explorer',
    width = 30,
    columns = 'indent,icon,name',
  },
}

require('vfiler').start()

Start by vim script:

let cfg = ":lua require('vfiler/config').setup {\n" .
            \   "options = {\n" .
            \     "auto_cd = true,\n" .
            \     "auto_resize = true,\n" .
            \     "keep = true,\n" .
            \     "layout = 'left',\n" .
            \     "name = 'explorer',\n" .
            \     "width = 30,\n" .
            \     "columns = 'indent,icon,name',\n" .
            \   "},\n" .
            \ "}\n"
call execute(cfg)

:VFiler

or

lua << EOF
require('vfiler/config').setup {
  options = {
    auto_cd = true,
    auto_resize = true,
    keep = true,
    layout = 'left',
    name = 'explorer',
    width = 30,
    columns = 'indent,icon,name',
  },
}
EOF

:VFiler

Note: For Vim users, if you are using vim-plug, the setup scrpt should be put after "plug#end()"

call plug#begin()
Plug 'obaland/vfiler.vim'
call plug#end()

lua << EOF
require('vfiler/config').setup {
