# Installation / Usage

# Place the zellij-sessionizer script in your PATH
# Create an alias to call this script in your shells .rc config, e.g. in zsh:
# `bindkey -s ^f "zellij-sessionizer path1 path2 etc..\n"` - binds Ctrl f to execute the script, the newline in the end is important

paths=$@

if [[ -z $paths ]]; then 
	echo "No paths were specified, usage: ./zellij-sessionizer path1 path2 etc.."
	exit 0
fi

# Check whether the machine has fd available
if [ -x "$(command -v fd)" ]; then
	selected_path=$(fd . $paths --min-depth 1 --max-depth 2 --type d | fzf)
else
	# defer to find if not
	selected_path=$(find $paths -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 2 -type d | fzf)
fi

# If nothing was picked, silently exit
if [[ -z $selected_path ]]; then
	exit 0
fi

# If no directory was selected, exit the script
if [[ -z $selected_path ]]; then
	exit 0

# Get the name of the selected directory, replacing "." with "_"
session_name=$(basename "$selected_path" | tr . _)

# We're outside of zellij, so lets create a new session or attach to a new one.
if [[ -z $ZELLIJ ]]; then
	cd $selected_path
  
  # -c will make zellij to either create a new session or to attach into an existing one
	zellij attach $session_name -c
	exit 0
fi

# We're inside zellij so we'll open a new pane and move into the selected directory
zellij action new-pane

# Hopefully they'll someday support specifying a directory and this won't be as laggy
# thanks to @msirringhaus for getting this from the community some time ago!
