ASCII Tree

An Atom package to generate ASCII trees to visualize file/folder structure.

Installation

apm install ascii-tree

Write trees using +-- to create child nodes and plain text to define nodes at root (make sure to use 4 spaces for each child indentation).

Write the following tree:

root
+-- dir1
+-- dir2
    +-- file1
+-- dir3
    +-- file2
    +-- file3
    +-- dir4
        +-- file4
+-- file5

then select the text and press ctrl-alt-t or use the command ascii-tree:generate to generate the following ASCII tree:

root
├── dir1
├── dir2
│   └── file1
├── dir3
│   ├── file2
│   ├── file3
│   └── dir4
│       └── file4
└── file5

NOTE: If the ASCII tree is not being generated, it means the syntax is incorrect. Please double check your input before opening an issue.

NOTE: Any indentation existing on the whole tree (including and excluding the root) would be preserved.

NOTE: Having a root is not mandatory.

Select the generated tree and press ctrl-alt-r or use the command ascii-tree:reverse to reverse the tree back to the raw syntax.
