Show session name in lualine?

[toddknutson]

Is there a way to show the current session name in a lualine section?

It seems like I would need to create a custom lualine component that returns the Possession session name as a string. It seems like I could get the session name from this function, but I'm not sure how to do that exactly. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for a great plugin!

Hi, the following should do the job:

local function session_name()
    return require('possession.session').session_name or ''
end

Thanks so much @jedrzejboczar! This works perfect!!

For anyone else coming across this, I simply copied the suggested function (above) to my lualine config and then referenced the function name within the lualine setup. For example:

lualine.setup {
  sections = { lualine_a = { session_name } }
}
