hierarchy v1.0.0
hierarchy
Convert JSON object to a beautiful string representation of a directory structure
Like archy, but easier. Inspired in the text-tree found in an answer on StackOverflow.
Installation
npm i --save hierarchyjs
Usage
Considering the input.json
file:
{
"foo": {
"bar": {
"$files": ["baz.js", "piece.js"]
},
"paz": {}
},
"baz": {
"$files": ["taz.js"]
},
"$files": ["Gruntfile.js", "package.json"]
}
From the command line
hierarchy input.json
In code
var hierarchy = require('hierarchy');
var input = require('input.json');
var tree = hierarchy(input);
console.log(tree);
Notation
The input is expected to be a tree-like object with optional $files
arrays that describe a list of files in a directory. The $files
construct can actually be avoided by treating files as empty directories, but its a little convenience sugar.
The following has the exact same output as the previous example.
{
"foo": {
"bar": {
"$files": {
"baz.js": {},
"piece.js": {}
},
},
"paz": {}
},
"baz": {
"taz.js": {}
},
"Gruntfile.js": {},
"package.json": {}
}
A file named $etc
might be used to include a "and more.." '....'
kind of message.
