✨ Tree Data Provider (Sidebar Tree View Content)

[jasonplatts]

Overview

A TreeDataProvider (Tree View API) gives extension developers the ability to add content to a sidebar tab. Many extensions, like ToDo, would be able to utilize this API.

See the VS Code Tree Data Provider Section for implementation reference.

Additional Features

It would be great if we could add a filter feature. This is not included in VS Code, but would be really helpful for extensions like the Tailwind CSS extension I built for Nova that I would like to port over as an early extension. Maybe we could add a keywords property as an array to the TreeItem class. The filtering could then be done using those values.
