help: neo-tree template integration

[gpproton]

Hi i've been exploring the possibility of using easy-dotnet with neo-tree with no luck or understanding on getting it working, i've tried using the sample for nvim-tree as a refrence but there's no luck. I've checked the neo-tree docs and could not see any refrence to on_attach, any assistance would be appreciated on this.

    require("nvim-tree").setup({
      on_attach = function(bufnr)
        local api = require('nvim-tree.api')

        local function opts(desc)
          return { desc = 'nvim-tree: ' .. desc, buffer = bufnr, noremap = true, silent = true, nowait = true }
        end

        vim.keymap.set('n', 'A', function()
          local node = api.tree.get_node_under_cursor()
          local path = node.type == "directory" and node.absolute_path or vim.fs.dirname(node.absolute_path)
          require("easy-dotnet").create_new_item(path)
        end, opts('Create file from dotnet template'))
      end
    })

I havent used neo-tree personally but I could look into it. However you might consider changing to nvim-tree instead. They are very similiar. Neo-tree might not be maintained anymore unless they find a new maintainer

Messed around for a bit and it is possible. I need to make a few changes in my code for the tree to automatically refresh after creating files but basically this code is all you need

If you have enabled the use_libuv_file_watcher. The tree is automatically refreshed and you can safely ignore the --BUG: comment

  {
    "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
    branch = "v3.x",
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
      "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- not strictly required, but recommended
      "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
      -- "3rd/image.nvim", -- Optional image support in preview window: See `# Preview Mode` for more information
    },
    config = function()
      require("neo-tree").setup({
        filesystem = {
          use_libuv_file_watcher = true,
          window = {
            mappings = {
              ["R"] = "easy",
            },
          },
          commands = {
            ["easy"] = function(state)
              local node = state.tree:get_node()
              local path = node.type == "directory" and node.path or vim.fs.dirname(node.path)
              require("easy-dotnet").create_new_item(path)
              --BUG: Must wait for create_new_item to complete
              -- require("neo-tree.ui.renderer").redraw(state)
            end
          }
        },
      })

      vim.cmd([[nnoremap \ :Neotree reveal<cr>]])
    end
  }

Let me know if it works for you!

Will add to readme after resolving the refresh issue. I dont want to force users to use the file_watcher

I think someone else is taking over the mainenance since lot of neovim distribution use it.

Thanks i'll be looking forward to the new version of easy-dotnet so i can start using, really appreciate the proactiveness it makes it easy to keep using neovim.

Done, code example added to readme
