dirtree-chart 0.0.6

Description

dirtree-chart is a tiny tool for creating folder structure diagrams based on mermaids markdown syntax. The output will be saved in an seperate .mmd file or may be included in a README.md. The idea behind dirtree-chart is to simple include it in your build tasks for generic charts in your repository. In the future, image output (svg, png, pdf, ...) will be implemented.

Installation

pip install dirtree-chart

Usage and Examples

• To get information about the tool run python -m dirtree_chart -h in the command line.
• For big projects it should be considered to limit the folder depth to a suitable level (e.g. -md 3).
• Files which should not be includes may be put into the ignore list (-il file1, file2). At the moment no wildcard definition is supported.
• For git project the mermaid output markdown may be written to the README.md file (-i true). Currently only the file extention .md is supported.
• Define the direction of the graph (-d TD). TD = Top-Down, LR = Left-Right.

Scripts

from dirtree_chart import diagram

# Add files or folders to ignore list
