@agarimo/archy v1.0.0

@agarimo/archy

Render nested hierarchies npm ls style with unicode pipes. Based on https://github.com/substack/node-archy

Installation

npm install @agarimo/archy

API: archy(obj, prefix='', opts={})

Return a string representation of obj with unicode pipe characters like how npm ls looks.

obj should be a tree of nested objects with 'label' and 'nodes' fields. 'label' is a string of text to display at a node level and 'nodes' is an array of the descendents of the current node. These names 'label' and 'nodes' are the default ones but can be changed using opts.

If a node is a string, that string will be used as the 'label' and an empty array of 'nodes' will be used.

prefix gets prepended to all the lines and is used by the algorithm to recursively update.

If 'label' has newlines they will be indented at the present indentation level with the current prefix.

To disable unicode results in favor of all-ansi output set opts.unicode to false. To change the 'label' field set opts.labelField to the new value. To change the 'nodes' field set opts.nodesField to the new value.

example

const archy = require('@agarimo/archy');
const result = archy({
  label : 'beep',
  nodes : [
    'ity',
    {
      label : 'boop',
      nodes : [
        {
          label : 'o_O',
          nodes : [
            {
              label : 'oh',
              nodes : [ 'hello', 'puny' ]
            },
            'human'
          ]
        },
        'party\ntime!'
      ]
    }
  ]
});
console.log(result);

Output:

beep
├── ity
└─┬ boop
  ├─┬ o_O
  │ ├─┬ oh
  │ │ ├── hello
  │ │ └── puny
  │ └── human
  └── party
      time!

example changing the label and nodes fields to name and children.

const archy = require('@agarimo/archy');
const result = archy({
  name : 'beep',
  children : [
    'ity',
    {
      name : 'boop',
      children : [
        {
          name : 'o_O',
          nodes : [
            {
              name : 'oh',
              children : [ 'hello', 'puny' ]
            },
            'human'
          ]
        },
        'party\ntime!'
      ]
    }
  ]
},
undefined,
{
  labelField: 'name',
  nodesField: 'children'
});

console.log(result);

Output:

beep
├── ity
└─┬ boop
  ├─┬ o_O
  │ ├─┬ oh
  │ │ ├── hello
  │ │ └── puny
  │ └── human
  └── party
      time!
