Project description

Project Structure Generator

Overview

Project Structure Generator is a versatile tool available both as a command-line interface and as a library. It enables users to generate directory structures in JSON, YAML, or plain text formats and offers the ability to pretty-print the structure with color.

Features

  • Generate directory structures in JSON, YAML, Dictionary or plain text.
  • Exclude patterns specified in .gitignore.
  • Pretty-print the directory structure with colorful output.
  • Command-line interface for ease of use.
  • Ability to include content of specified files.
  • Customizable patterns for more precise control over the directory structure output.

Installation

To install the package, use the following command:

pip install pstruc

CLI Usage

The pstruc tool supports various arguments for generating and customizing the directory structure.

Arguments

  • directory: Specify the directory to inspect (not specified: current directory)
  • -f, --format: Choose the output format (json, yaml, txt, dict).
  • -o, --output: Specify the output file name.
  • -p, --print: Print the directory structure without saving it.
  • -ns, --not-save: Do not save the generated structure to an output file.
  • -ip, --add-ignore-patterns: Add custom patterns to ignore.
  • -iff, --ignore-from-files: List of files to get the ignore patterns from.
  • -igi, --ignore-git-ignore: Ignore the patterns inside .gitignore file.
  • -fc, --add-content-file-patterns: Include content of specified files.

Example

python pstruc.py /path/to/directory -f json -o output_structure -ip "*.log","__pycache__" -fc "*.md","*.txt"

This command will generate a JSON file output_structure.json representing the directory structure of /path/to/directory, ignoring files matching *.log and __pycache__, and including content of markdown and text files.

Library Usage

As a library, pstruc provides a straightforward API for generating and manipulating directory structures. The core functionality is based on generating the structure, saving it, and pretty-printing.

Example

from pstruc import get_project_structure, save_structure_to_file, pretty_print

# Generate directory structure
structure = get_project_structure('/path/to/directory', 'json', ignore_patterns=["*.log", "__pycache__"], file_content=["*.md", "*.txt"])

# Save to a file
save_structure_to_file('output_structure.json', structure)

# Pretty-print the structure
pretty_print(structure)

Library Available Methods

  • get_project_structure(start_path, output_format, ignore_patterns, file_content): Generates the directory structure.

    • start_path (str): The directory to inspect.
    • output_format (str): The desired output format ('json', 'yaml', 'txt', 'dict').
    • ignore_patterns (list): List of patterns to ignore.
    • file_content (list): List of patterns to determine which file content to include in the structure.
  • save_structure_to_file(output_file, structure): Saves the directory structure to a file.

    • output_file (str): The name of the output file.
    • structure (str): The directory structure content to be saved.
  • pretty_print(structure): Pretty-prints the directory structure.

    • structure (str or dict): The directory structure to print.
    • indentation (str): The current indentation level.
  • get_all_ignore_patterns(start_path, files_with_ignore_patterns, extra_ignore_patterns): Retrieves a combined list of ignore patterns from specified files and additional user-provided patterns.

    • start_path (str): The root directory path from where the search for ignore files begins.
    • files_with_ignore_patterns (list of str): Filenames from which to read ignore patterns (e.g., '.gitignore').
    • extra_ignore_patterns (list of str): Additional patterns provided by the user.
