Note: v0.3.0 displays name in project picker. before this version, the default name is name place holder, you can edit the json file directly to change it to a more meaningful name. Or only display the path of the projects you added by modify the choice_format option in the config.

cd-project.nvim

I tried quite a lot Project Management plugins.

In the end,

I found all I need is an easier way to cd to another project directory.

How it works?

This plugin did nothing but provided a simplier way to add and switch to directories

HowItWorks

Install and Config

-- using lazy.nvim
return {
    "LintaoAmons/cd-project.nvim",
    -- Don't need call the setup function if you think you are good with the default configuration
    config = function()
      require("cd-project").setup({
        -- this json file is acting like a database to update and read the projects in real time.
        -- So because it's just a json file, you can edit directly to add more paths you want manually
        projects_config_filepath = vim.fs.normalize(vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/cd-project.nvim.json"),
        -- this controls the behaviour of `CdProjectAdd` command about how to get the project directory
        project_dir_pattern = { ".git", ".gitignore", "Cargo.toml", "package.json", "go.mod" },
        choice_format = "both", -- optional, you can switch to "name" or "path"
        projects_picker = "vim-ui", -- optional, you can switch to `telescope`
        -- do whatever you like by hooks
        hooks = {
          {
            callback = function(dir)
              vim.notify("switched to dir: " .. dir)
            end,
          },
          {
            callback = function(_)
              vim.cmd("Telescope find_files")
            end,
          },
          {
            callback = function(dir)
              vim.notify("switched to dir: " .. dir)
            end, -- required, action when trigger the hook
            name = "cd hint", -- optional
            order = 1, -- optional, the exection order if there're multiple hooks to be trigger at one point
            pattern = "cd-project.nvim", -- optional, trigger hook if contains pattern
            trigger_point = "DISABLE", -- optional, enum of trigger_points, default to `AFTER_CD`
            match_rule = function(dir) -- optional, a function return bool. if have this fields, then pattern will be ignored
              return true
            end,
          },
        },
      })
    end,
  }
