molddir 0.1.2

molddir simplifies merging directory files into a single file. It's especially useful for sending entire codebases to Large Language Models (LLMs) by encoding the codebase into one string

molddir: Encoder-Decoder Module

molddir is a Python package that provides a simple way to encode and decode files and directories into a custom format. This module is particularly useful in the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), where sending a complete codebase to an LLM can be a tedious task. molddir helps by encoding the entire codebase into a single string, which can then be easily decoded back into the original files and directories.

Features

• Encoder Class: Encodes files and directories into a custom format.
• Decoder Class: Decodes the encoded data back into files and directories.
• CLI Tool: Provides a command-line interface for easy usage.
• Supports ignoring files from repository .gitignore files.
• Allows you to customize the encoding pattern using keys.py module.

Installation

You can install molddir using Poetry:

poetry add molddir

Or using pip:

pip install molddir

Modules

• decoder: Contains the Decoder class for decoding the codebase.
• encoder: Contains the Encoder class for encoding the codebase.
• keys: Contains the KeyBuilder class for building keys.
• walker: Contains the FolderWalker class for walking through folders.

Using the Module

Encoder Class

The Encoder class is responsible for encoding files and directories into a custom format. It takes in a codebase path as an argument, which can be a file or a directory.

from molddir import Encoder

encoder = Encoder("path/to/codebase")
encoded_data = encoder()
print(encoded_data)

Decoder Class

The Decoder class is responsible for decoding the encoded data back into files and directories.

from molddir import Decoder

decoder = Decoder("output_dir")
decoder(encoded_str="@@@@@@@file1@@@@@@@\nprint('Hello, World!')\n=======\n")

Using the CLI Tool

This script main.py provides a command-line interface (CLI) for encoding and decoding a codebase. It supports the following functionalities:

• Encoding a codebase using the Encoder class.
• Decoding an encoded file using the Decoder class.
• Displaying the version of the tool.

Usage

python main.py --encode --codebase_path <path_to_codebase>
python main.py --decode --encoded_file <path_to_encoded_file> --output_dir <output_directory>
python main.py -v | --version

Arguments

• --encode: Encode the codebase.
• --decode: Decode the codebase.
• --codebase_path: Path to the codebase to encode.
• --encoded_file: Path to the encoded file to decode.
• --output_dir: Directory to save the decoded codebase.
• -v, --version: Display the version of the tool.

Examples

Encode a Codebase

python main.py --encode --codebase_path /path/to/codebase

Decode an encoded file

python main.py --decode --encoded_file /path/to/encoded/file --output_dir /path/to/output/dir

Display the version

python main.py -v

Why Use molddir?

In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), sending a complete codebase to an LLM can be a tedious task. molddir simplifies this process by encoding the entire codebase into a single string. This encoded string can then be easily sent to an LLM, and decoded back into the original files and directories when needed.
