FastAPI path explorer expand and filter

[cdeil]

Hi - thanks for building the FastAPI VSCode extension. It's very nice and worked out of the box in our backend project discovering the endpoints. The "Go to route" from test clients is especially useful.

Concerning the FastAPI path explorer panel it would be great if you could add two things:

1. An "expand all" and "collapse all" button (analog to the built-in VS Code Explorer Outline).
2. A "filter" search box (analog to the built-in VS Code Testing panel)

Currently with our many routes grouped in many sub-routers it's tedious to use the explorer view to get an overview, I have to click on each router to expand it. And then when I want to look e.g. for all "user" or "container" related endpoints it would be much easier to find and grok them and get a good overview if I could filter.

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words about the extension! Glad to hear that it's working for you.

Just to make sure I understand, you're looking for something different than the existing expand/collapse and search UX? I'm curious if these meet your needs or if there's some specific reason that you'd like them in the path operation explorer panel.

@savannahostrowski - I think I missed the expand/collapse button. So that's good. Maybe if it were the same "+" for expand and "-" for collapse as in the VS Code Outline view it would be easier to recognize/grok.

Concerning filter - I think it would be useful to have it in the explorer as well since in big APIs with 100s of endpoints otherwise it can be difficult to find things. It's true that search/filter is in "FastAPI: search path operations" and that's great, I would just also like to use it in the explorer since there I could filter for "user" which gives ~ 50 results for our internal API and then I could click and read the code for the relevant results systematically.
