With lazy.nvim:

{
    'crispgm/nvim-tabline',
    dependencies = { 'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons' }, -- optional
    config = true,
}

Configuration

require('tabline').setup({opts})

Defaults

require('tabline').setup({
    show_index = true,           -- show tab index
    show_modify = true,          -- show buffer modification indicator
    show_icon = false,           -- show file extension icon
    fnamemodify = ':t',          -- file name modifier string
                                 -- can be a function to modify buffer name
    modify_indicator = '[+]',    -- modify indicator
    no_name = 'No name',         -- no name buffer name
    brackets = { '[', ']' },     -- file name brackets surrounding
    inactive_tab_max_length = 0  -- max length of inactive tab titles, 0 to ignore
})

Show Tabline

" Only if there are at least two tabs (default)
vim.opt.showtabline = 1

" Always
vim.opt.showtabline = 2

" Never
vim.opt.showtabline = 0
