Hooking a plugin manager into lz.n

[IogaMaster]

Can a custom handler be used to install plugins using mini.deps

[IogaMaster]

Or is it more of a custom function that uses grabs the info from the plugin spec and then calls install

I don't think a custom handler can be used to install plugins. It's meant for loading them.
But it should be possible to use lz.n to lazy-load plugins that are managed with mini.deps.
I haven't tried it though.

Mini.deps loads at the same time as the install, so looks like i will have to make my own plugin manager that uses lz.n under the hood

Actually, I can use the before attribute to call the install

You could also use a table<string, function> where the key is the plugin name and the value is a function that loads/installs the plugin with mini.deps.
Then you could set the load attribute to a function that performs a lookup.

But maybe using the before hook is simpler in this case.
