Introduction                                          *nvim-tree-introduction*

Features

    - Automatic updates
    - File type icons
    - Git integration
    - Diagnostics integration: LSP and COC
    - (Live) filtering
    - Rename, delete, create
    - Cut, copy, paste locally and between instances
    - Highly customisable

File Icons

    https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons is optional and used to display file icons.
    It requires a patched font: https://www.nerdfonts.com
    Your terminal emulator must be configured to use that font, usually "Hack Nerd Font"

     should look like an open folder.

    Disable the display of icons with |nvim_tree.config.renderer.icons.show|

Colours

    Syntax highlighting uses g:terminal_color_ from colorschemes, falls back to
    ugly colors otherwise.

Git Integration

    One or two icons for git status. When two are shown, the left is staged.

      ✗  unstaged
      ✓  staged
        unmerged
      ➜  renamed
      ★  untracked
        deleted
      ◌  ignored

Requirements

    Nvim >= 0.10.
    At least `n - 0.1` stable Nvim compatibility is guaranteed.
    You may use a `compat-nvim-0.X` tag for earlier Nvim versions, however
    they will receive no updates or support.

Quickstart                                              *nvim-tree-quickstart*

Install the plugins via your package manager:
  `"nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua"`
  `"nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons"`

Disabling |netrw| is strongly advised, see |nvim-tree-netrw|

==============================================================================
Quickstart: Setup                                 *nvim-tree-quickstart-setup*

Setup the plugin in your `init.lua`.

See |nvim-tree-setup| and |nvim-tree-config-default| >lua

  -- disable netrw at the very start of your init.lua
  vim.g.loaded_netrw = 1
  vim.g.loaded_netrwPlugin = 1

  -- optionally enable 24-bit colour
  vim.opt.termguicolors = true

  -- empty setup using defaults
  require("nvim-tree").setup()

  -- OR setup with a config

  ---@type nvim_tree.config
  local config = {
    sort = {
      sorter = "case_sensitive",
    },
    view = {
      width = 30,
    },
    renderer = {
      group_empty = true,
    },
    filters = {
      dotfiles = true,
    },

==============================================================================
Quickstart: Custom Mappings             *nvim-tree-quickstart-custom-mappings*

|nvim-tree-mappings-default| are applied by default however you may customise
via |nvim_tree.config| {on_attach} e.g. >lua

  local function my_on_attach(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

    -- default mappings
    api.map.on_attach.default(bufnr)

    -- custom mappings
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-t>", api.tree.change_root_to_parent,        opts("Up"))
    vim.keymap.set("n", "?",     api.tree.toggle_help,                  opts("Help"))
  end

  -- pass to setup along with your other config
  require("nvim-tree").setup({
    ---
    on_attach = my_on_attach,
    ---
  })
<
==============================================================================
Quickstart: Highlight Groups                  *nvim-tree-quickstart-highlight*

Run |:NvimTreeHiTest| to show all the highlights that nvim-tree uses.

They can be customised before or after setup is called and will be immediately
applied at runtime. e.g. >lua

  vim.cmd([[
      :hi      NvimTreeExecFile    guifg=#ffa0a0
      :hi      NvimTreeSpecialFile guifg=#ff80ff gui=underline
      :hi      NvimTreeSymlink     guifg=Yellow  gui=italic
      :hi link NvimTreeImageFile   Title
  ]])
<
See |nvim-tree-highlight-groups| for details.

Commands                                                  *nvim-tree-commands*

Some commands may be executed with a |<bang>| `!` or take a `path` string argument.

All commands execute public API.

*:NvimTreeOpen*                            |nvim_tree.api.tree.open()| >lua

  require("nvim-tree.api").tree.open({

<
*:NvimTreeCollapse*                        |nvim_tree.api.tree.collapse_all()| >lua

  require("nvim-tree.api").tree.collapse_all({
    keep_buffers = false
  })
<
*:NvimTreeCollapseKeepBuffers*             |nvim_tree.api.tree.collapse_all()| >lua

  require("nvim-tree.api").tree.collapse_all({
    keep_buffers = true
  })
<
*:NvimTreeHiTest*                         |nvim_tree.api.appearance.hi_test()| >lua

  require("nvim-tree.api").appearance.hi_test()
<
*:NvimTreeResize*                          |nvim_tree.api.tree.resize()| >lua

  local sign = c.args:sub(1, 1)
  if sign == "+" or sign == "-" then
    require("nvim-tree.api").tree.resize({ relative = tonumber(c.args) })
  else
    require("nvim-tree.api").tree.resize({ absolute = tonumber(c.args) })
  end
<

==============================================================================
Setup                                                        *nvim-tree-setup*

You must run the `setup()` function once to initialise nvim-tree. It may be
called again to apply a change in configuration without restarting Nvim.

The `setup()` function takes one optional argument: |nvim_tree.config|. If
omitted nvim-tree will be initialised with default configuration:
|nvim-tree-config-default|.

Config can be validated with |lsp| when passed directly e.g. >lua

  require("nvim-tree").setup({
    hijack_cursor = true,
  })
<
or as a typed variable e.g. >lua

  ---@type nvim_tree.config
  local config = {
    hijack_cursor = true,
  }
  require("nvim-tree").setup(config)
<
The first `setup()` call is cheap: it does nothing more than validate / apply
the configuration. Nothing happens until the tree is first opened.

Subsequent `setup()` calls are expensive as they tear down the world before
applying configuration.

==============================================================================
Mappings                                                  *nvim-tree-mappings*

Mappings are set via the |nvim_tree.config| {on_attach} function, which is run upon
creating the nvim-tree buffer. Mappings are usually |nvim-tree-api| functions
however may be your own.

When {on_attach} is not a function, |nvim-tree-mappings-default| will be used.

Active mappings may be viewed via HELP, default `g?`. The mapping's description
is used when displaying HELP.

The `on_attach` function is passed the `bufnr` of nvim-tree. Use
|vim.keymap.set()| or |nvim_set_keymap()| to define mappings as usual. e.g. >lua

  local function my_on_attach(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

    -- copy default mappings here from defaults in next section
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-]>", api.tree.change_root_to_node,          opts("CD"))
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-e>", api.node.open.replace_tree_buffer,     opts("Open: In Place"))
    ---
    -- OR use all default mappings
    api.map.on_attach.default(bufnr)

    -- remove a default
    vim.keymap.del("n", "<C-]>", { buffer = bufnr })

    -- override a default
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-e>", api.tree.reload,                       opts("Refresh"))

    -- add your mappings
    vim.keymap.set("n", "?",     api.tree.toggle_help,                  opts("Help"))
    ---
  end

  require("nvim-tree").setup({
    ---
    on_attach = my_on_attach,
    ---
  })
<
Single left mouse mappings can be achieved via `<LeftRelease>`.

Single right / middle mouse mappings will require changes to |'mousemodel'| or |'mouse'|.

|vim.keymap.set()| {rhs} is a `(function|string)` thus it may be necessary to
define your own function to map complex functionality e.g. >lua

  local function print_node_path()
    local api = require("nvim-tree.api")
    local node = api.tree.get_node_under_cursor()
    print(node.absolute_path)
  end

  -- on_attach
  vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-P>", print_node_path, opts("Print Path"))
<
==============================================================================
Mappings: Default                                 *nvim-tree-mappings-default*

In the absence of an |nvim_tree.config| {on_attach} function, the following
defaults will be applied.

You are encouraged to copy these to your {on_attach} function. >lua

  local api = require("nvim-tree.api")

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

  -- BEGIN_ON_ATTACH_DEFAULT
  vim.keymap.set("n",          "<C-]>",          api.tree.change_root_to_node,       opts("CD"))
  vim.keymap.set("n",          "<C-e>",          api.node.open.replace_tree_buffer,  opts("Open: In Place"))

Icons And Highlighting                          *nvim-tree-icons-highlighting*

Icons may be displayed before files and directories.

Additional icons and highlighting may be displayed to indicate various states
for files and and directories. Highlighting is additive.

Decorators are responsible for providing the icons and highlighting. They
apply additively in order of precedence.

`DECORATOR`
  See |nvim_tree.config.renderer.decorator| for available decorators and their
  default precedence.

`ICON?`
  Enable via |nvim_tree.config.renderer.icons.show

`REQUIRES`
  Features that must be enabled to show icons and highlighting.

`PLACEMENT`
  Where to place icons: |nvim_tree.config.renderer.icons.placement|

`HIGHLIGHT`
  What should be highlighted: |nvim_tree.config.renderer.highlight|

`DEVICONS?`
  Glyphs and their colors will be overridden by optional plugin:
  `nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons`
  See |nvim_tree.config.renderer.icons.web_devicons|

`GLYPHS`
  Icon glyphs definitions.

`GROUPS`
  Applicable highlight groups: |nvim-tree-highlight-groups|

Some defaults noted. In ascending order of default decorator additive
precedence:

==============================================================================
Highlight Groups                                  *nvim-tree-highlight-groups*

All the following highlight groups can be configured by hand. Aside from
`NvimTreeWindowPicker`, it is not advised to colorize the background of these
groups.

Example |:highlight| >vim
    :hi NvimTreeSymlink guifg=blue gui=bold,underline
<
It is recommended to enable |'termguicolors'| for the more pleasant 24-bit
colours.

To view the nvim-tree highlight groups run |:NvimTreeHiTest|

To view all active highlight groups run `:so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim`
as per |:highlight|

The `*HL` groups are additive, following |nvim_tree.config.renderer.decorator|
precedence.
Only present attributes will clobber each other.
In this example a modified, opened file will have magenta text, with cyan
undercurl: >vim
    :hi NvimTreeOpenedHL       guifg=magenta guisp=red  gui=underline
    :hi NvimTreeModifiedFileHL               guisp=cyan gui=undercurl
<
To prevent usage of a highlight:

- Before setup: link the group to `Normal` e.g. >vim
    :hi NvimTreeExecFile Normal
<
- After setup: link it to `NONE`, to override the default link e.g. >lua
    :hi! link NvimTreeExecFile NONE
<
==============================================================================
Highlight Groups: Default                 *nvim-tree-highlight-groups-default*

|:highlight-link| `default` or |:highlight-default| define the groups on setup:

    NvimTreeNormal              Normal
    NvimTreeNormalFloat         NormalFloat

Events                                                      *nvim-tree-events*

nvim-tree will dispatch events whenever an action is made. These events can be
subscribed to through handler functions. This allows for even further
customization of nvim-tree.

A handler for an event is just a function which receives one argument, the
payload of the event. The payload is different for each event type. Refer
to |nvim_tree_registering_handlers| for more information.

*nvim_tree_registering_handlers*

Handlers are registered by calling |nvim_tree.api.events.subscribe()| function
with an |nvim_tree_events_kind|.

e.g. handler for node renamed: >lua

    local api = require("nvim-tree.api")
    local Event = api.events.Event

    api.events.subscribe(Event.NodeRenamed, function(data)
      print("Node renamed from " .. data.old_name .. " to " ..  data.new_name)
    end)
<
*nvim_tree_events_kind*

- Event.Ready
                When NvimTree has been initialized.
                • Note: Handler takes no parameter.

- Event.TreePreOpen

*nvim_tree_events_startup*

There are two special startup events in the form of User autocommands:

`NvimTreeRequired`      first `require("nvim-tree")`
`NvimTreeSetup`         `setup({})` completed

Immediately before firing: a global variable of the same name will be set to a
value of 1.

Example subscription: >lua

  vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("User", {
    pattern = "NvimTreeRequired",
    callback = function(data)
      ---
    end,
  })

Prompts                                                    *nvim-tree-prompts*

Some NvimTree actions use the builtin |vim.ui.select()| prompt API for
confirmations when the |nvim_tree.config| {select_prompts} option is set.

The API accepts the optional `kind` key as part of the {opts} parameter, which
can can be used to identify the type of prompt, to allow user side
configurations for different types of prompts.

- `nvimtree_overwrite_rename`
    overwrite or rename during |nvim_tree.api.fs.paste()|

- `nvimtree_remove`
    delete during |nvim_tree.api.fs.remove()|

- `nvimtree_trash`
    send to trash during |nvim_tree.api.fs.trash()|

- `nvimtree_bulk_delete`
    delete all bookmarked during |nvim_tree.api.marks.bulk.delete()|

- `nvimtree_bulk_trash`
    send all bookmarked to trash during |nvim_tree.api.marks.bulk.trash()|

==============================================================================
OS Specific Restrictions                               *nvim-tree-os-specific*

Windows WSL and PowerShell
- Trash is synchronized
- Executable file detection is disabled as this is non-performant and can
  freeze Nvim
- Some filesystem watcher error related to permissions will not be reported
- Filesystem watchers can experience severe performance issues. It is strongly
  recommended to tightly control watcher usage via
  |nvim_tree.config.filesystem_watchers| {whitelist_dirs}

Powershell
- Observed Nvim hanging after a runaway (infinite) number of events on a
  single directory. See |nvim_tree.config.filesystem_watchers| {max_events}

==============================================================================
netrw                                                        *nvim-tree-netrw*

|netrw| is a standard Nvim plugin that is enabled by default. It provides,
amongst other functionality, a file/directory browser.

It interferes with nvim-tree and the intended user experience is nvim-tree
replacing the |netrw| browser.

It is strongly recommended to disable |netrw|. As it is a bundled plugin it
must be disabled manually at the start of your `init.lua` as per |netrw-noload|: >lua

  vim.g.loaded_netrw       = 1
  vim.g.loaded_netrwPlugin = 1
<
There are many |netrw| features beyond the file browser. If you want to
keep using |netrw| without its browser features please ensure:

|nvim_tree.config| {disable_netrw}` = false`
|nvim_tree.config| {hijack_netrw}`  = true`

==============================================================================
Sessions                                                  *nvim-tree-sessions*

nvim-tree restores its buffers when restoring vim sessions (for nvim 0.13+).
Persistent storage is located in 
`vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/nvim-tree-session.json"`.

Config                                                      *nvim-tree-config*

*nvim_tree.config*
    Arguments to pass to |nvim-tree-setup|.

    When a value is not present/nil, the default will be used.

    {on_attach} Runs when creating the nvim-tree buffer. Use this to set your
    |nvim-tree-mappings|. When not a function, |nvim-tree-mappings-default|
    will be used.

    {hijack_cursor} keep the cursor on the first letter of the filename when
    moving in the tree.

    {auto_reload_on_write} reload the explorer every time a buffer is written
    to.

    {disable_netrw} completely disables |netrw|, see |nvim-tree-netrw| for
    details. It is strongly advised to eagerly disable netrw, due to race
    conditions at vim startup.

    {hijack_netrw} hijacks netrw windows, ignored when {disable_netrw}.

    {hijack_unnamed_buffer_when_opening} opens in place of the unnamed buffer
    if it's empty.

    {root_dirs} preferred root directories, requires
    |nvim_tree.config.update_focused_file.update_root|.

    {prefer_startup_root} prefer startup root directory when updating root
    directory of the tree. Requires
    |nvim_tree.config.update_focused_file.update_root|.

    {sync_root_with_cwd} changes the tree root directory on |DirChanged| and
    refreshes the tree.

    {reload_on_bufenter} automatically reloads the tree on |BufEnter|
    nvim-tree.

    {respect_buf_cwd} changes the |current-directory| of nvim-tree to that of
    new buffer's when opening nvim-tree.

    {select_prompts} uses |vim.ui.select()| style prompts. Necessary when
    using a UI prompt decorator such as dressing.nvim or
    telescope-ui-select.nvim

Config: filters                                     *nvim-tree-config-filters*

*nvim_tree.config.filters*
    Filters may be applied to the tree to exclude the display of
    file/directories.

    Multiple filters may be applied at once.

    Filters can be set at startup or toggled live via API with default
    mappings.

    `I     `{git_ignored}`         `|nvim_tree.api.filter.git.ignored.toggle()|
    Ignore files based on `.gitignore`. Requires |nvim_tree.config.git|

    `H     `{dotfiles}`            `|nvim_tree.api.filter.dotfiles.toggle()|
    Filter dotfiles: files/directories starting with a `.`

    `C     `{git_clean}`           `|nvim_tree.api.filter.git.clean.toggle()|
    Filter files with no git status. `.gitignore` files will not be filtered
    when {git_ignored}, as they are effectively dirty.

    `B     `{no_buffer}`           `|nvim_tree.api.filter.no_buffer.toggle()|
    Filter files that have no |buflisted()| buffer. For performance reasons
    buffer delete/wipe may not be immediately shown. A reload or filesystem
    event will always result in an update.

    `M     `{no_bookmark}`         `|nvim_tree.api.filter.no_bookmark.toggle()|
    Filter files that are not bookmarked. Enabling this is not useful as there
    is no means yet to persist bookmarks.

    `U     `{custom}`              `|nvim_tree.api.filter.custom.toggle()|
    Disable specific file/directory names via:
    • a list of backslash escaped |regular-expression| e.g. `"^\\.git""`
    • a function passed the absolute path of the directory.

    All filters including live filter may be disabled via {enable} and toggled
    with |nvim_tree.api.filter.toggle()|

    Files/directories may be {exclude}d from filtering: they will always be
    shown, overriding {git_ignored}, {dotfiles} and {custom}.

    Fields: ~
      • {custom}?       (`string[]|(fun(absolute_path: string): boolean)`)
                        (default: `{}`)
      • {dotfiles}?     (`boolean`) (default: `false`)
      • {enable}?       (`boolean`, default: `true`) Enable all filters.
      • {exclude}?      (`string[]`) (default: `{}`)
      • {git_clean}?    (`boolean`) (default: `false`)
      • {git_ignored}?  (`boolean`) (default: `true`)
      • {no_bookmark}?  (`boolean`) (default: `false`)

==============================================================================
Config: live_filter                             *nvim-tree-config-live-filter*

*nvim_tree.config.live_filter*
    Live filter allows you to filter the tree nodes dynamically using
    |regular-expression| matching.

    This feature is bound to the `f` key by default. The filter can be cleared
    with the `F` key by default.

    Fields: ~
      • {always_show_folders}?  (`boolean`, default: `true`) Whether to filter
                                folders or not.
      • {prefix}?               (`string`, default: `"[FILTER]: "`) Prefix of
                                the filter displayed in the buffer.

==============================================================================
Config: filesystem_watchers             *nvim-tree-config-filesystem-watchers*

*nvim_tree.config.filesystem_watchers*
    Use file system watchers (libuv `uv_fs_event_t`) to monitor the filesystem
    for changes and update the tree.

    With this feature, the tree will be partially updated on specific
    directory changes, resulting in better performance.

    Blacklist watching absolute directory paths via {ignore_dirs} and
    optionally whitelist via {whitelist_dirs}:
    • A table of |regular-expression| that will be passed to `vim.fn.match`
      • Backslashes must be escaped e.g. `"my-proj/\\.build$"`
      • Literal backslashes must be double escaped to avoid |/magic| e.g.
        `"C:\\\\src\\\\my-proj"`
    • OR a `fun(path: string): boolean` that is passed an absolute path:
      • {ignore_dirs}: return `true` to disable
      • {whitelist_dirs}: return `true` to enable

    {whitelist_dirs} is STRONGLY recommended for windows:
    |nvim-tree-os-specific|.

    After {max_events} consecutive filesystem events on a single directory
    with an interval < {debounce_delay}:
    • The filesystem watcher will be disabled for that directory.
    • A warning notification will be shown.
    • Consider adding this directory to {ignore_dirs}

    By default, {max_events} is only enabled for windows.

    Fields: ~
      • {debounce_delay}?  (`integer`, default: `50`) Idle milliseconds
                           between filesystem change and tree update.
      • {enable}?          (`boolean`) (default: `true`)
      • {ignore_dirs}?     (`string[]|(fun(path: string): boolean)`, default: `{ "/.ccls-cache", "/build", "/node_modules", "/target", "/.zig-cache"}`)
                           Disable for specific directories.
      • {max_events}?      (`integer`, default: `0` or `1000` on windows)
                           Disable for a single directory after {max_events}
                           consecutive events with an interval <
                           {debounce_delay}. Set to 0 to allow unlimited
                           consecutive events.
      • {whitelist_dirs}?  (`string[]|(fun(path: string): boolean)`, default:
                           `{}`) Optionally enable only for specific
                           directories.

    A window picker will be shown when there are multiple windows available to
    open a file. It will show a single character identifier in each window's
    status line.

    When it is not enabled the file will open in the window from which you
    last opened the tree, obeying {exclude}

    You may define a {picker} function that should return the window id that

API                                                            *nvim-tree-api*

nvim-tree exposes a public API. This is non breaking, with additions made as
necessary.

Please do not require or use modules other than `nvim-tree.api`, as internal
modules will change without notice.

The API is separated into multiple modules:
• |nvim-tree-api-appearance|
• |nvim-tree-api-commands|
• |nvim-tree-api-events|
• |nvim-tree-api-filter|
• |nvim-tree-api-fs|
• |nvim-tree-api-git|
• |nvim-tree-api-map|
• |nvim-tree-api-marks|
• |nvim-tree-api-node|
• |nvim-tree-api-tree|

Modules are accessed via `api.<module>.<function>`

Example invocation of the `reload` function in the `tree` module: >lua

    local api = require("nvim-tree.api")
    api.tree.reload()
<

Generally, functions accepting a |nvim_tree.api.Node| as their first argument
will use the node under the cursor when that argument is not present or nil.
Some functions are mode-dependent: when invoked in visual mode they will
operate on all nodes in the visual selection instead of a single node. See
|nvim-tree-mappings-default| for which mappings support visual mode.

e.g. the following are functionally identical: >lua

    api.node.open.edit(nil, { focus = true })

    api.node.open.edit(api.tree.get_node_under_cursor(), { focus = true })
<


*nvim_tree.api.Node*
    The Node class is a data class. Instances may be provided by API functions
    for use as a:
    • handle to pass back to API functions e.g. |nvim_tree.api.node.run.cmd()|
    • reference in callbacks e.g. |nvim_tree.config.sort.Sorter| {sorter}

    Please do not mutate the contents of any Node object.

    Fields: ~
      • {absolute_path}   (`string`) of the file or directory
      • {diag_severity}?  (`lsp.DiagnosticSeverity`) diagnostic status
      • {executable}      (`boolean`) file is executable
      • {fs_stat}?        (`uv.fs_stat.result`) at time of last tree display,

Class: Class                                                 *nvim-tree-class*

nvim-tree uses the https://github.com/rxi/classic class framework adding safe
casts, instanceof mixin and conventional destructors.

The key differences between classic and ordinary Lua classes:
• The constructor |nvim_tree.Class:new()| is not responsible for allocation:
  `self` is available when the constructor is called.
• Instances are constructed via the `__call` meta method: `SomeClass(args)`

Classes are conventionally named using camel case e.g. `MyClass`

Classes are created by extending another class: >lua

    local Class = require("nvim-tree.classic")

    ---@class (exact) Fruit: nvim_tree.Class
    ---@field ...
    local Fruit = Class:extend()

    ---@class (exact) Apple: Fruit
    ---@field ...
    local Apple = Fruit:extend()
<

Implementing a constructor |nvim_tree.Class:new()| is optional, however it
must call the `super` constructor: >lua

    ---@protected
    ---@param args AppleArgs
    function Apple:new(args)

      ---@type FruitArgs
      local fruit_args = ...

      Apple.super.new(self, fruit_args)
      ---
<

Create an instance of a class using the `__call` meta method that will invoke
the constructor: >lua

    ---@type AppleArgs
    local args = ...

    local an_apple = Apple(args)
    -- above will call `Apple:new(args)`
<

In order to strongly type instantiation, the following pattern is used to type
the meta method `__call` with arguments and return: >lua

    ---@class (exact) Fruit: nvim_tree.Class
    ---@field ...
    local Fruit = Class:extend()

    ---@class (exact) FruitArgs
    ---@field ...

    ---@class Fruit
    ---@overload fun(args: FruitArgs): Fruit

    ---@protected
    ---@param args FruitArgs
    function Fruit:new(args)
<

Class: Decorator                                   *nvim-tree-class-decorator*

Highlighting and icons for nodes are provided by Decorators, see
|nvim-tree-icons-highlighting| for an overview.

Decorators are rendered in |nvim_tree.config.renderer| {decorators} order of
additive precedence, with later decorators applying additively over earlier.

You may provide your own in addition to the builtin decorators, see
|nvim-tree-class-decorator-example|.

Decorators may:
• Add icons
• Set a highlight group name for the name or icons
• Override node icon

To register your decorator:
• Create a class that extends |nvim_tree.api.Decorator|
• Register it by adding the class to |nvim_tree.config.renderer| {decorators}

Your decorator will be constructed and executed each time the tree is
rendered.

Your class must:
• |nvim_tree.Class:extend()| the interface |nvim_tree.api.Decorator|
• Provide a no-arguments constructor |nvim_tree.Class:new()| that sets the
  mandatory fields:
  • {enabled}
  • {highlight_range}
  • {icon_placement}
• Call |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:define_sign()| in your constructor when
  {icon_placement} is `"signcolumn"`

Your class may:
• Implement methods to provide decorations:
  • |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:highlight_group()|
  • |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:icon_node()|
  • |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:icons()|


*nvim_tree.api.Decorator*
    Extends: |nvim_tree.Class|

    Decorator interface

    Fields: ~
      • {define_sign}      (`fun(self: nvim_tree.api.Decorator, icon: nvim_tree.api.highlighted_string?)`)
                           See |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:define_sign()|.
      • {enabled}          (`boolean`) Enable this decorator.
      • {highlight_group}  (`fun(self: nvim_tree.api.Decorator, node: nvim_tree.api.Node): string?`)
                           See |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:highlight_group()|.
      • {highlight_range}  (`nvim_tree.config.renderer.highlight`) What to
                           highlight: |nvim_tree.config.renderer.highlight|
      • {icon_node}        (`fun(self: nvim_tree.api.Decorator, node: nvim_tree.api.Node): nvim_tree.api.highlighted_string?`)
                           See |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:icon_node()|.
      • {icon_placement}   (`"none"|nvim_tree.config.renderer.icons.placement`)
                           Where to place the icons:
                           |nvim_tree.config.renderer.icons.placement|
      • {icons}            (`fun(self: nvim_tree.api.Decorator, node: nvim_tree.api.Node): nvim_tree.api.highlighted_string[]?`)
                           See |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:icons()|.

*nvim_tree.api.highlighted_string*
    Text or glyphs with optional highlight group names to apply to it.

    Fields: ~
      • {hl}   (`string[]`) Highlight group names to apply in order. Empty
               table for no highlighting.
      • {str}  (`string`) One or many glyphs/characters.


Decorator:define_sign({icon})          *nvim_tree.api.Decorator:define_sign()*
    Defines a sign for an icon. This is mandatory and necessary only when
    {icon_placement} is `"signcolumn"`

    This must be called during your constructor for all icons that you will
    return from |nvim_tree.api.Decorator:icons()|

    Parameters: ~
      • {icon}  (`nvim_tree.api.highlighted_string?`) does nothing if nil

                                   *nvim_tree.api.Decorator:highlight_group()*
Decorator:highlight_group({node})
    One highlight group that applies additively to the {node} name for
    {highlight_range}.

    Abstract, optional to implement.

    Parameters: ~
      • {node}  (`nvim_tree.api.Node`)

    Return: ~
        (`string?`) highlight group name `nil` when no highlighting to apply
        to the node

Decorator:icon_node({node})              *nvim_tree.api.Decorator:icon_node()*
    Icon to override for the node.

    Abstract, optional to implement.

    Parameters: ~
      • {node}  (`nvim_tree.api.Node`)

    Return: ~
        (`nvim_tree.api.highlighted_string?`) icon `nil` for no override

Decorator:icons({node})                      *nvim_tree.api.Decorator:icons()*
    Icons to add to the node as per {icon_placement}

    Abstract, optional to implement.

    Parameters: ~
      • {node}  (`nvim_tree.api.Node`)

    Return: ~
        (`nvim_tree.api.highlighted_string[]?`) icons `nil` or empty table for
        no icons. Only the first glyph of {str} is used when {icon_placement}
        is `"signcolumn"`


==============================================================================
Class: Decorator example                   *nvim-tree-class-decorator-example*

A decorator class for nodes named "example", overriding all builtin decorators
except for Cut.
• Highlights node name with `IncSearch`
• Creates two icons `"1"` and `"2"` placed after the node name, highlighted
  with `DiffAdd` and `DiffText`
• Replaces the node icon with `"N"`, highlighted with `Error `

Create a class file `~/.config/nvim/lua/my-decorator.lua`
