This tutorial is meant to illustrate how the project tree structure view appearance can be modified programmatically.
If you need to know more about basic concepts of a project view in IntelliJ-based IDEs, please refer to [Exploring The Project Structure](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/exploring-the-project-structure.html#d164891e120) of [IntelliJ IDEA Web Help](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/intellij-idea.html).
Series of step below show how to filter out and keep visible only text files and directories in the Project View Panel.
## Pre-Requirements
Create an empty plugin project.
See [Creating a Plugin Project](gradle_prerequisites.md).
## Register Custom TreeStructure Provider
Add new *treeStructureProvider* extension to the [plugin.xml](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk-code-samples/blob/main/tree_structure_provider/src/main/resources/META-INF/plugin.xml)
```java
<extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.intellij">
<treeStructureProvider implementation="org.intellij.sdk.treeStructureProvider.TextOnlyTreeStructureProvider"/>
</extensions>
```
## Implement Custom TreeStructureProvider
To provide custom Structure View behaviour you need to implement TreeStructureProvider interface.
```java
public class TextOnlyTreeStructureProvider implements TreeStructureProvider {
@NotNull
@Override
public Collection<AbstractTreeNode> modify(@NotNull AbstractTreeNode parent, @NotNull Collection<AbstractTreeNode> children, ViewSettings settings) {
return null;
}
@Nullable
@Override
public Object getData(Collection<AbstractTreeNode> collection, String s) {
return null;
}
}
```
## Override `modify()` Method
To implement Tree Structure nodes filtering logic, override `modify()` method.
The example below shows how to filter out all the Project View nodes except those which correspond to text files and directories.
```java
```
{src="tree_structure_provider/src/main/java/org/intellij/sdk/treeStructureProvider/TextOnlyTreeStructureProvider.java"}
## Compile and Run the Plugin
Compile and run the code sample from this tutorial.
Refer to [Running and Debugging a Plugin](running_and_debugging_a_plugin.md).
After going through the steps described above you can see only text files and directories belonging to a project in the Project View.

Check out [plugin source code](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk-code-samples/tree/main/tree_structure_provider) and build the project to see how TreeStructureView provider works in practice.
