Usage

You can either open fyler by using the Fyler command:

:Fyler             " Open the finder
:Fyler dir=<cwd>   " Use a different directory path
:Fyler kind=<kind> " Open specified window kind directly

" Map it to a key
nnoremap <leader>e <cmd>Fyler<cr>

-- Or via lua api
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>e", "<cmd>Fyler<cr>", { desc = "Open Fyler View" })

Or using the lua api:

local fyler = require('fyler')

-- open using defaults
fyler.open()

-- open as a left most split
fyler.open({ kind = "split_left_most" })

-- open with different directory
fyler.open({ dir = "~" })

-- You can map this to a key
vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>e", fyler.open, { desc = "Open fyler View" })

-- Wrap in a function to pass additional arguments
vim.keymap.set(
    "n",
    "<leader>e",
    function() fyler.open({ kind = "split_left_most" }) end,
    { desc = "Open Fyler View" }
)
