Tree Maker

A simple Python package that creates a directory and file structure from a given JSON or Python object.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install easy-tree-maker

Usage

You can use the TreeMaker class to create directories and files based on a JSON or Python structure.

Example with Python object:

from easy_tree_maker.core import TreeMaker

# Define the tree structure as a Python object
tree_structure = [
    {
        "type": "directory",
        "name": "TestProject",
        "contents": [
            {"type": "file", "name": "README.md"},
            {"type": "directory", "name": "src", "contents": [
                {"type": "file", "name": "app.py"}
            ]}
        ]
    }
]

# Create the tree with the Python object structure
tree_maker = TreeMaker(tree_structure, is_json=False)
tree_maker.create_tree(root_path="./TestDirectory")

Example with JSON string:

import json
from easy_tree_maker.core import TreeMaker

# Define the tree structure as a JSON string
tree_structure_json = json.dumps([
    {
        "type": "directory",
        "name": "TestProject",
        "contents": [
            {"type": "file", "name": "README.md"},
            {"type": "directory", "name": "src", "contents": [
                {"type": "file", "name": "app.py"}
            ]}
        ]
    }
])

# Create the tree with the JSON string structure
tree_maker = TreeMaker(tree_structure_json, is_json=True)
tree_maker.create_tree(root_path="./TestDirectory")

Example with JSON file:

If you have a JSON file containing the tree structure, you can use it as input:

from easy_tree_maker.core import TreeMaker
import json

# Load the tree structure from a JSON file
with open('tree_structure.json', 'r') as f:
    tree_structure_json = f.read()

tree_maker = TreeMaker(tree_structure_json, is_json=True)
tree_maker.create_tree(root_path="./TestDirectory")

CLI Usage

You can also use the command-line interface (CLI) to create the tree structure from a JSON file or string.

To use the CLI, run:

easy_tree_maker path_to_json_file_or_string --root /path/to/create/tree

Example:

easy_tree_maker tree_structure.json --root /tmp/test_tree

This will read the JSON file tree_structure.json and create the directory and file structure in /tmp/test_tree.
