Structify CLI

Structify CLI is a command-line tool that helps you easily create folder structures and generate JSON representations of project structures. It’s perfect for developers who want to set up their project directories quickly and manage their folder structures more efficiently.

Whether you're working on a new project or organizing your existing one, Structify can save you time by automating folder creation and making your project structure clear and organized.

Features

• Folder Structure Creation: Automatically creates folders based on your specifications.
• JSON Representation: Generates a JSON file that represents the folder structure of a project from its root.
• Custom Extensions: Easily add extensions to your folder names for more structured organization.
• Works Across Platforms: Cross-platform support (Windows, MacOS, Linux).

Installation

You can install Structify globally or locally. To use it, you'll need to install it via npm or yarn.

To install the tool globally, run:

  npm install -g structify-cli

yarn global add structify-cli

npm install structify-cli --save-dev

or

yarn add structify-cli --dev

After installing it locally, you can run the tool via npx without the need for global installation:

Usage

Once installed, you can use structify via your terminal to create or generate folder structures.

• Create Folder Structure To create a folder structure from a specified JSON format, use the following command:

structify create <structure>

Where is a JSON object defining your desired folder structure. For example:

{
  "src": {
    "components": {},
    "utils": {}
  },
  "tests": {}
}

This will create the following directory structure:

├── components/
├── utils/
tests/

• Generate JSON Representation of Your Folder Structure If you want to generate a JSON representation of your existing project structure, use:

structify generate

This will scan the current directory and output the folder structure as a JSON object.

Example output:

{
  "src": {
    "index.js": {},
    "styles": {}
  },
  "tests": {}
}

• Add Extensions to Folder Names You can also create folder names with extensions by specifying them in the structure JSON. For example:

{
  "src": {
    "components.tsx": {},
    "utils.js": {}
  }

}

This will create:

src/
├── components.tsx/
├── utils.js/
