is it ok to use config() when installing plugins?

[aschleifer]

Hello,

I recently migrated to neovim and decided to use Lazy as plugin manager.

Whenever a plugin needs configuration that can't be done in a setup() / opts = {...} call I decided to add a config() function to the plugin loading definition to do these configurations.

Is this good practice or is it better to do it in a ~/.config/nvim/after/plugins/<pluginname>.lua file?

What is the difference between these two ways?
