nls-directree-searchonly v2.0.4

WIP (Work in Progress): This project is under heavy construction. Please, use with caution.

Getting Started

Rquirements

• Install Node.js via package manager

Install

Use npm or yarn to install that package.

npm i nls-directree
# OR
yarn nls-directree

Usage

Import/Require module

const dtree = require('nls-directree') // JavaScript
// OR
import * as dtree from 'nls-directree' // TypeScript

Example folder structure

path/to/your/directory
├── contact.md
├── disclaimer.md
├── imprint.md
├── index.md
├── news.md
├── vita.md
└── work
    ├── drawing
    │   └── Z-WV-2018-001
    │       ├── index.md
    │       └── Z-WV-2018-001-0.jpeg
    │   ├── example.jpg
    │   └── index.md
    └── sculpture

dtree.read(dir: string): array

read() inspects the given dir directory and outputs the tree.

Example code

console.dir(dtree.read('path/toy/your/directory/work'), { depth: null })

Expected output

[ 
  { 
    drawing: [ 
      { 
        'Z-WV-2018-001': [ 
          'Z-WV-2018-001-0.jpeg', 
          'index.md'
        ] 
      } 
    ] 
  },
  'example.jpg',
  'index.md',
  { 
    sculpture: [] 
  } 
]

dtree.search(paths: array, query: null|string): array

search() expects an array of paths (formely the output of read()) and a query string separated by / (human-readable path).

Example code

console.dir(dtree.search(dtree.read('path/to/your/directory'), 'work/drawing'), { depth: null })

Expected output

[ 
  { 
    'Z-WV-2018-001': [ 
      'Z-WV-2018-001-0.jpeg', 
      'index.md'
    ]
  } 
]

dtree.write(dir: array|string, dest: string): boolean

write() expects a compiled direcrory tree with read() or a path to the wished directory and the path to the destination file, where to write the content as JSON.

Example code

dtree.write('path/to/your/directory', 'paths.json')

Will write a file to ./paths.json (the identical folder, where your excuting that code) in JSON format:

{
 "paths": [
   "contact.md",
   "disclaimer.md",
   "imprint.md",
   "index.md",
   "news.md",
   "paths.json",
   "vita.md",
   {
     "work": [
       {
         "drawing": [
           {
             "Z-WV-2018-001": [
               "Z-WV-2018-001-0.jpeg",
               "index.md"
             ]
           }
         ]
       },
       "example.md",
       "index.md"
       {
         "sculpture": [ ]
       }
     ]
   }
 ]
}
