So, instead of running to reddit, i’ll give this a shot here. I’m in the process of making my own NeoVim Configuration from scratch. One of the tools i use is sidebar-nvim . This allows me to make my own Sections. I’m pretty new to lua and have never dabbled in plugin programming before. Through reading the source of sidebar-nvim and neovim-session-manager I have gotten to a point where i get a list of my sessions in the sidebar.

local session_manager = require("session_manager.utils")
local sessions = session_manager.get_sessions()
local dirs = {}
local filenames = {}

for _, file, _ in pairs(sessions) do
  local directory = session_manager.shorten_path(file.dir)
  table.insert(dirs, directory)
  table.insert(filenames, file.filename)
end

local section = {
  title = "Sessions",
  icon = " ",
  draw = function()
    return dirs
  end,
  bindings = {
    ["l"] = function(line, col)
      local filename = filenames[line]
      session_manager.load_session(filename, false)

    end,
  }
}

return {
  "sidebar-nvim/sidebar.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("sidebar-nvim").setup({
      open = true,
      side = "right",
      sections = {
        "datetime",
        "symbols",
        section,
        "git",
        "todos",
        "diagnostics"
      },
    })
  end
}

The thing that isn’t working is the “bindings”. session_manager.load_session takes the filename out of the original sessions table. I have no clue how the original structure looks. My attempt currently returns an empty value. Anyone have an idea how to access the data i need to get the session loaded properly?
