api.tree.winid()

Discussed in #2532

I'm trying to see if I can get Fidget to avoid rendering on top of the nvim-tree window when it's open. I see there's already an event subscription mechanism, but is there any way to dynamically query the position and width of the nvim-tree window?

I saw this question but it suggests the only option is to enumerate through all window IDs and search for the nvim-tree window. Is there any API that is more direct?

Thanks!

How about API something like

tree.winid({opts})                              *nvim-tree-api.tree.winid()*
    Retrieve the winid of the open tree.

    Parameters: ~
      • {opts} (table) optional parameters

    Options: ~
      • {tabpage}        (number)  tabpage, 0 for current, default 0

    Return: ~
      (number) winid or nil if tree is not visible
