Hey,

thanks for the awesome plugin, it helped me a lot to understand the asdf & direnv installation process. Unfortunately, I have found out that the performance was/is not very satisfying when I checked zinit times. The plugin takes ~70ms to load and is the slowest in the list by a fair margin, even slower than other bigger contenders.

(not all entries are visible, left some for comparison)

❯ zini times
Plugin loading times:
    1 ms - zdharma-continuum/zinit-annex-as-monitor

   13 ms - romkatv/powerlevel10k
   11 ms - Aloxaf/fzf-tab
    3 ms - zimfw/utility

    3 ms - BurntSushi/ripgrep (sbin command)
   39 ms - zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting
   16 ms - zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

   --> 73 ms - redxtech/zsh-asdf-direnv <--

    2 ms - jesseduffield/lazygit (sbin command)

I took that as a personal challenge to see if I can improve the situation. After some tinkering, I came up with a solution that does not require any extra plugin, just using plain zinit. As this is a completely different approach than yours I still decided to share it here.

Following code plugin setup is the result, it offers less comfort than your approach, but the loading times are better by a manifold. I assume the "generate once & only source the generated file" is the big performance winner compared to the used "eval" approach.

_zini_asdf_install() {
    # path export temporary required so the asdf script finds itself
    PATH="${PWD}/bin:$PATH"
    asdf plugin add direnv
    asdf install direnv latest
    asdf global direnv latest
    # see https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-direnv#setup
    asdf exec direnv hook zsh > asdf_direnv_hook.zsh
    echo 'direnv() { asdf exec direnv "$@"; }' >> asdf_direnv_hook.zsh
}

zinit wait:'0b' \
    lucid \
    light-mode \
    sbin:'bin/asdf' \
    atinit:'export ASDF_DIR="$PWD"' \
    atclone:'_zini_asdf_install' \
    src:'lib/asdf.sh' \
    multisrc:'asdf_direnv_hook.zsh' \
    for \
    depth:1 @asdf-vm/asdf

❯ zini times | grep asdf
    2 ms - asdf-vm/asdf (sbin command)

Cheers!

I have asdf installed, but not direnv and I get:

unknown command: direnv. Perhaps you have to reshim?

Since the most recent update, I see log messages about installing direnv on every new login shell.

Last login: Mon Oct 24 09:33:55 on console
[zsh-asdf-direnv] Installing direnv...
[zsh-asdf-direnv] -> direnv install OK
~ ❯

The latest release adds a check if direnv is already installed, but I think it's making a faulty assumption here:

[[ ! -d "~/.direnv" ]] && _zsh_asdf_direnv_install_direnv

I'm not sure this is the only standard location for the direnv config directory; I've had direnv for a long time and I don't have this directory. Based on the direnv manual this isn't the only place that direnv configuration can go. Maybe there's another way to determine whether direnv is installed.

Steps to reproduce

1. From a blank home directory, install asdf and zsh-asdf-direnv
2. Observe that this is logged:

 [zsh-asdf-direnv] Installing direnv...
 [zsh-asdf-direnv] -> direnv install OK

3. Close the shell and logout
4. Log back in
5. Observe the same log messages as in 2.
