File Nesting

[rawnly]

I'm not into neovim plug-ins, and I'm not familiar with this code aspe, but shouldn't be difficult to support vscode like file nesting, maybe by adopting the same config

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_67#_explorer-file-nesting

At the end of the day these are just "virtual" folders(?)

Also Xcode has the same feature by creating groups only in the ide but not as folders.

We already have this feature. See :h neo-tree-file-nesting. For example:

    require("neo-tree").setup({
        nesting_rules = {
          ts = { ".d.ts", "js", "css", "html", "scss" }
        },
    })

Thanks! Is there any docs other than the help?

I'd like to group all my *.config.js under package.json but the API seems limited

[cseickel]

Sorry, it does not do that at all. It only nests files with a common base name.

I'm not even sure I would accept a PR where the nesting gets complex enough to do what you are looking for. I personally think it's an unnecessary level of complexity that would likely be a maintenance problem.

Totally understandable, thanks ✌️

@rawnly not sure if you are still interested in this, but a new PR has been merged in that actually enables this

    nesting_rules = {
      ["package.json"] = {
        pattern = "^package%.json$",
        files = { "*.config.js" },
      },
    },
