effjay

Convert a file tree to json

Install

$ npm i effjay

Usage

imagine a file tree that looks like:

effjay gives us a json representation of the above structure:

// our converter
const effjay = require('effjay');

// this will do 2 things:
// 1. Create the json (tree.json) out of the 'testdir' directory.
// 2. assign the object representation 'testdir' to the const tree.
const tree = effjay('testdir', true);

console.log(tree); // logs {"file1.js":"hola","subfolder":{"file2.js":"wassup"}}
