Toggle file_ignore_patterns

[rkperes]

file_ignore_patterns is great, yet sometimes I'd like to easily disable it, like we already have the default configuration for .gitignore in files.

How could one achieve so? I tried a custom action using actions.toggle_action, but I understood that's not targeting the configuration object.

Is there a way to achieve that?
I also understand there's the additional layering complication, where file_ignore_patterns is a result of merging tables from different levels of the configuration, and delivering a default option for that might not be straight-forward.
I'd be happy with just a workaround for my setup, where I set file_ignore_patterns only at the inner level of the config, and I'm abble to toggle (enable/disable) the option via some keymap.

How about this?

local _ignore = false
_G.my_files = function()
  _ignore = not _ignore
  local opts = {
    file_ignore_patterns = _ignore == false and false or nil,
    actions = {
      ['ctrl-g'] = {
        fn = function() _G.my_files() end,
        desc = 'foo',
        header = function() return _ignore == false and 'enable' or 'disable' end,
      }
    }
  }
  require('fzf-lua').files(opts)
end
