MarkdownTree
MarkdownTree is a Ruby gem that generates a directory structure in Markdown format. It is highly configurable, allowing you to exclude specific folders, choose the root directory, and specify the output file name.
Installation
You can install the gem and add it to your application's Gemfile by executing:
bundle add markdown_tree
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
gem install markdown_tree
Usage
Basic Example
To generate the directory structure in Markdown format from the current directory, simply call the generate_tree
method:
require 'markdown_tree'
MarkdownTree.generate_tree
Excluding Specific Folders
You can configure which folders to exclude from the generated structure:
MarkdownTree.configure do |config|
config.exclude_list = ['node_modules', '.git', 'tmp']
end
MarkdownTree.generate_tree
Selecting the Root Directory
You can also specify the directory from which you want to generate the structure:
MarkdownTree.configure do |config|
config.root_directory = '/path/to/your/directory'
end
MarkdownTree.generate_tree
Customizing the Output File Name
You can set the name of the file where the directory structure will be saved:
MarkdownTree.configure do |config|
config.output_file = 'custom_directory_structure.md'
end
MarkdownTree.generate_tree
Full Configuration Example in Rails
If you're using Rails, you can configure all these options in an initializer:
MarkdownTree.configure do |config|
config.exclude_list = ['node_modules', '.git', 'tmp']
config.root_directory = Rails.root.join('app').to_s
config.output_file = 'custom_directory_structure.md'
end
