The dashboard-nvim not work

[EdwardWong1994]

HI, previously i use vimscript to configure my vim, now i change to neovim and start to use lua. I am pretty new to lua . I configure dashboard for neovim but it did not work and still give the default neovim interface.

My configration process like this:

1. in my ~/.config/nvim/init.lua file: require ("plugin-config/dashboard")

2. in my ~/.config/nvim/plugin-config/dashboard.lua file, i configure it like this:

local db = require('dashboard')

db.custom_header = {
      '   ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠶⣶⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ',
      ' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢀⠈⢿⢀⣀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀ ',
      ' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⣟⡇⢘⣾⣽⠀⠀⡏⠉⠙⢛⣿⣷⡖⠀ ',
      ' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⠷⠶⠤⠙⠒⠀⠒⢻⣿⣿⡷⠋⠀⠴⠞⠋⠁⢙⣿⣄ ',
      ' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣯⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢹⡄⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠋⠉⠹⡇ ',
      ' ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣇⣀⣀⣀⣛⣛⣒⣲⢾⡷ ',
      ' ⢀⠤⠒⠒⢼⣿⣿⠶⠞⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⣼⠃ ',
      ' ⢮⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠻⣿⡿⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠉⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⣼⠃⠀ ',
      ' ⠈⠓⠶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠈⠒⢤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡠⠚⠁⠀⢀⡼⠃⠀⠀ ',
      ' ⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣥⣤⣤⣤⣴⣟⠁    ',
}

db.custom_center = {
    {icon = "  ", desc = 'Recently lastest session    ', shortcut = "Leader s l", action = "RestoreSession"},
    {icon = "  ", desc = "Recently opened files       ", shortcut = "Leader f h", action = "Telescope oldfiles"},
    {icon = "  ", desc = "Find File                   ", shortcut = "leader f f", action = "Telescope find_files"},
    {icon = "  ", desc = "File Browser                ", shortcut = "leader f b", action = "Telescope file_browser"},
    {icon = "  ", desc = "Find Word                   ", shortcut = "leader g g", action = "Telescope live_grep"},
    {icon = "  ", desc = "Open Personal dotfiles      ", shortcut = "leader e e", action = "edit $MYVIMRC"}
}

db.custom_footer = function()
    local footer = {'', '🎉 Have fun with neovim'}
    if packer_plugins ~= nil then
        local count = #vim.tbl_keys(packer_plugins)
        footer[2] = '🎉 neovim loaded ' .. count .. ' plugins'
        for key, value in pairs(packer_plugins) do
            table.insert(footer, '✨  ' .. key)
        end
    end

    return footer
end

3. in my ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua file,

  use {
      'glepnir/dashboard-nvim',
      event = 'VimEnter',
     requires = {'Nvim-tree'/nvim-web-devicons'}
}

I do think dashboard is a fancy plugin but i just can not make it work. Configure my neovim like this, it still use the default interface when open neovim. Anyone can help me about this??

okay looks like you don't update this plugin for a long time. new version dashbaord has been rewrite for a while . the config is not same as before. please read doc for new config.

I have changed the configuration use hyper theme shown in below figure:

But i still have errors shown below. Can you help me to figure out this problem? I am really new with lua grammar

[glepnir]

so what's error ? you don't show me

[EdwardWong1994]

Can you see the error in below figure? Because i configure the dashboard for nvim in ipad and i just upload photos in my PC side.

[glepnir]

looks like the require failed. try to remove the event if you are using packer.

[EdwardWong1994]

I did use packer, but which event do you specified?? it seems the require in this require(dashboard).setup({}) have problems?
