Api to check if a plugin is loaded

[daniele821]

I have this problem: in plugin A i want to call plugin B only if plugin B is already loaded, but if i use require(B) it force the plugin B to load, which i would like to avoid.

So is there some way to check if a plugin is loaded, this way i can run require(B) only if B is already loaded?

to be more specific, in my example plugin B is conform and plugin A is lualine, and i have the following code:

	"nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
	config = function()
		require("lualine").setup({
			sections = {
				lualine_c = {
					"filename",
					function()
						local conform = require("conform")
						local fmt = conform.list_formatters(0)
						local _map = function(elem)
							return elem.name
						end
						if #fmt >= 1 then
							return "󰉿 " .. vim.iter(fmt):map(_map):join(", ")
						end
						return ""
					end,
				},
			},
		})
	end,

and I would like conform from being loaded by lualine, if conform itself wasn't loaded yet.

solved. I just needed to use the package variable
