How to remove a panel programmatically ?

[RiadhAdrani]

I want to remove a panel depending on an external user event, I searched the docs but I didn't find anything, any suggestions ?

There actually isn't a removePanel method directly exposed currently so to progmatically remove you would need to do this via the panels api methods. For example you can close a panel by calling .close().

const panel = api.getPanel(my_panel_id);
panel.api.close();

I will add a task to expose a removePanel-like method to the primary api though as I can see how this would be useful.

Let me know if this helps and if you have any other questions.

Yep, it worked for me, looking forward to some helper functions.

v1.8.0 now has exposed a removePanel(panel: IDockviewPanel) method and is documented here.
