treeify

converts a JS object into a nice and readable tree structure for the console

Say, you an object that has the dependencies of a node module and you want to represent it as a tree structure or may you have a filesystem hierarchy to display on CLI, it's kina tough right? Well...here is treeify for you!

Get it: npm install treeify

Sample usage:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

var treeify = require('treeify');

var deps = {
    "[email protected]": {
        "[email protected]": null,
        "[email protected]": null,
        "[email protected]": null,
        "[email protected]": "[email protected]"
    }
};

console.log(
   treeify.asTree(deps, true)
);

//or

treeify.asLines(deps, true, function(line){
  console.log(line);
});

Both would output:

1
2
3
4
5

   ├─ abbrev@1.0.5

   └─ block-stream@0.0.7: inherits@2.0.1

GIF FTW:
