What did you do?

I'm developing a vim/neovim plugin that need to retrieve the package name of the current buffer. E.g. I'd like to show the current package name for the buffer in status line or I need to use the package name to filter symbols belongs to the current package using the package name as prefix

What work around did you consider?

I'm using go list at the moment as a work around. I see vim-go does the same.

The command executed is just go list -f {{.Name}} file.go with the file.go's folder as cwd.

What solution do you want to see?

I think this information should be provided as a LSP command. I propose:

Identifier: gopls.package_info

Retrieve the package info for a given go file.

Args:

{
	// The go file URI
	"URI": string,
}

Result:

{
	// Name is the package name
	"Name": string,
	// ContainerName is the full package import name
	"ContainerName": string,
}

Editor and settings

I'm using neovim 0.6.1 with coc.nvim. Using the default instruction from gopls editor section

Interestingly, vscode-go wants a similar feature when replacing the go-outline-based document symbol provider with gopls document symbol provider. vscode-go currently uses a (not-accurate) heuristic that parses the package statement. (cc @suzmue) For vscode-go, it would be convenient if this information was provided together with what gopls.list_imports provided.
