Install

npm install -g indexifier

Examples

indexifier ./ --extensions .html,.htm

would generate something like this:

A
├─┬ B
│ └── c.html
├── d.html
└── e.html

There is also an HTML flag that would generate the above output as linked HTML:

indexifier --extensions .html --html .

<!-- ... -->
<a href="./">A</a><br/>
├─┬ <a href="./B">B</a><br/>
│ └── <a href="./B/c.html">c.html</a><br/>
├── <a href="./d.html">a.html</a><br/>
└── <a href="./e.html">b.html</a><br/>
<!-- ... -->

The links are always relative to the given directory.
