Project Scanner

ProjectScanner is a Python package designed to scan your project's directory and file structure, providing a batch-wise navigational approach. It's especially useful for analyzing large projects with deep directory structures, allowing users to paginate through directories and files effectively.

Installation

To install ProjectScanner, use pip:

pip install project-scanner

Usage

As a Python Module

You can use ProjectScanner as a module in your Python scripts.

Example:

from projectscanner import ProjectScanner

# Initialize the scanner with the root directory of your project
scanner = ProjectScanner(root_dir="path/to/your/project", batch_size=10, max_length=255)

# Scan and print the first batch of items
print("First Batch:")
print(scanner.next_batch())

# Assuming there are more items, scan and print the next batch
print("Next Batch:")
print(scanner.next_batch())

# Go back to the previous batch and print it
print("Previous Batch:")
print(scanner.prev_batch())

Configuration

You can customize the behavior of ProjectScanner by adjusting the initialization parameters:

• root_dir: The root directory of your project (default is the current working directory).
• batch_size: The number of items (files or directories) to include in each batch (default is 10).
• max_length: The maximum character length for file or directory names before truncation (default is 255).
• relative_path: Set to True to use relative paths for items, or False for absolute paths (default is True).

Output Example

When you run ProjectScanner, it provides you a batch of directory and file names in your project's structure. Here is an example output:

First Batch:
["dir1", "dir2", "file1.txt", "file2.txt"]
Next Batch:
["dir3/subdir1", "dir3/subdir2", "file3.txt", "dir4"]
...
