How to change root directory with lua script using api

[fcacicAi]

openNewRoot = function (root)
local api = require("nvim-tree.api")

api.tree.open({
  path=root
  current_window=true
})

I would like to have function that can change the root of current nvim-tree view.

So i can easily shift between projects.
But this does not change the view in nvim-tree.

Is :h sync_root_with_cwd what you re after?
