Question on using the requires and config keywords

[vendion]

I'm still trying to figure out how to use packer, but I like you can specify dependencies via the requires keyword and have it load in configuration for the plugin via config. What I am trying to do is have all the plugin settings in $HOME/.config/nvim/lua/vendion/config/(file).lua and in my packer file I just require it like so:

use {'wbthomason/packer.nvim'}

-- Themes & Display
use {'arcticicestudio/nord-vim'}
use {
  "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
  config = require('vendion.config.lualine'),
  requires = {
    { "kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons" },
    { "SmiteshP/nvim-navic" },
  },
}
use {
  'goolord/alpha-nvim',
  requires = {
    { "kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons" },
  },
  config = require('vendion.config.alpha-nvim')
}

-- Utilities
use {
  'TimUntersberger/neogit',
  config = require('vendion.config.neogit')
  requires = {
    {'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'},
    {
      'sindrets/diffview.nvim',
      cmd = {
        "DiffviewOpen",
        "DiffviewClose",
        "DiffviewToggleFiles",
        "DiffviewFocusFiles",
      },
      config = require('vendion.config.diffview'),
    },
  },
  cmd = "Neogit",
}

This seems to be somewhat working as I was able to do PackerInstall and PackerSync and the plugins got installed. The problem comes in when packer tries to build the packer_compiled.lua file as it throws the following error:

[ERROR Wed 03 Aug 2022 04:17:04 PM -03 22173591714491] .../site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim/lua/packer/async.lua:20: Error in coroutine: ...e/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim/lua/packer.lua:709: invalid value (boolean) at index 16 in table for 'concat'

So, what I'm wondering is if my approach is wrong or if there is a better way to do what I'm wanting or if this is a bug?

The issue is that config is expecting a function but is given what ever is returned from the lua modules that you are requiring. This is simply fixed by wrapping the require call in a function.

use {
  'goolord/alpha-nvim',
  requires = {{ "kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons" }},
  config = function() require('vendion.config.alpha-nvim') end,
}
