Opions Usage

1. Omit files and obtain only directories structure

import { JsonTreeBuilder, TreeOptions } from "folder-json/lib";

const treeOptions: TreeOptions = { excludeFiles: true };

const jsonTreeBuilder = new JsonTreeBuilder("Your desired path", treeOptions).buildJson();

2. Process folder with files matched specific pattern

import { JsonTreeBuilder, TreeOptions } from "folder-json/lib";

const treeOptions: TreeOptions = { extensions: /\.(md|js|html|java|py|rb)$/ };

const jsonTreeBuilder = new JsonTreeBuilder("Your desired path", treeOptions).buildJson();

3. Customize output with JsonOptions

import { JsonTreeBuilder, JsonOptions } from "folder-json/lib";

const treeOptions: TreeOptions = { extensions: /\.(md|js|html|java|py|rb)$/ };

const jsonOptions: JsonOptions = { emptyDirectorySign: null, fileSign: "I am file!" };

const jsonTreeBuilder = new JsonTreeBuilder("Your desired path", treeOptions, jsonOptions).buildJson();

// Optionally you can add identention to prettify your json

const jsonTreeBuilder = new JsonTreeBuilder("Your desired path", treeOptions, jsonOptions).buildJson(4)
