Basic project manager plugin

[j0lol]

• like coffeebar/neovim-project or ahmedkhalf/project.nvim
• with mini.starter support maybe?

if anyone is looking for a mini.starter integration, i wrote a function that gets recent projects from coffeebar/neovim-project :)

(edited with suggestions below)

local gen_proj_list = function(size)
    local projects = require("neovim-project.utils.history").get_recent_projects()
    local size = math.min(size, #projects)
    local starter_items = {}
    for i = 1, size do
        local project = projects[i]
        table.insert(starter_items, 1, { { name = vim.fs.basename(project), action = function()
            require("neovim-project.project").switch_project(project)
        end, section="Recent Projects" } })
    end
    return starter_items
end

Thanks for sharing! This indeed might be useful for future users.

I'd suggest precomputing final size with size = math.min(size, #projects) and then use for i = 1, size do loop instead. This allows to avoid if i > size then check.

Thanks! I'm not very fluent in lua, so I appreciate the help :)

Thanks for the suggestion!

'mini.sessions' is intended as "project management" solution from 'mini.nvim'. At least that's how I use it and it seems to work fine. Especially together with 'mini.starter'.

Thanks! I'll look into mini.sessions! I didn't look into it because it doesn't look like the typical IDE "projects", so I assumed it was something different or not applicable to my use case. Thanks for making mini.nvim!
