|

=========
|
||||
|
||||
Package `treeprint` provides a simple ASCII tree composing tool.

If you are familiar with the [tree](http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/) utility that is a recursive directory listing command that produces a depth indented listing of files, then you have the idea of what it would look like.
|
||||
|
||||
On my system the command yields the following
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ tree
|
||||
.
|
||||
├── LICENSE
|
||||
├── README.md
|
||||
├── treeprint.go
|
||||
└── treeprint_test.go
|
||||
|
||||
0 directories, 4 files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and I'd like to have the same format for my Go data structures when I print them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ go get github.com/xlab/treeprint
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Concept of work
|
||||
|
||||
The general idea is that you initialise a new tree with `treeprint.New()` and then add nodes and
|
||||
branches into it. Use `AddNode()` when you want add a node on the same level as the target or
|
||||
use `AddBranch()` when you want to go a level deeper. So `tree.AddBranch().AddNode().AddNode()` would
|
||||
create a new level with two distinct nodes on it. So `tree.AddNode().AddNode()` is a flat thing and
|
||||
`tree.AddBranch().AddBranch().AddBranch()` is a high thing. Use `String()` or `Bytes()` on a branch
|
||||
to render a subtree, or use it on the root to print the whole tree.
|
||||
|
||||
The utility will yield Unicode-friendly trees. The output is predictable and there is no platform-dependent exceptions, so if you have issues with displaying the tree in the console, all platform-related transformations can be done after the tree has been rendered: [an example](https://github.com/xlab/treeprint/issues/2#issuecomment-324944141) for Asian locales.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use cases
|
||||
|
||||
### When you want to render a complex data structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
// to add a custom root name use `treeprint.NewWithRoot()` instead
|
||||
tree := treeprint.New()
|
||||
|
||||
// create a new branch in the root
|
||||
one := tree.AddBranch("one")
|
||||
|
||||
// add some nodes
|
||||
one.AddNode("subnode1").AddNode("subnode2")
|
||||
|
||||
// create a new sub-branch
|
||||
one.AddBranch("two").
|
||||
AddNode("subnode1").AddNode("subnode2"). // add some nodes
|
||||
AddBranch("three"). // add a new sub-branch
|
||||
AddNode("subnode1").AddNode("subnode2") // add some nodes too
|
||||
|
||||
// add one more node that should surround the inner branch
|
||||
one.AddNode("subnode3")
|
||||
|
||||
// add a new node to the root
|
||||
tree.AddNode("outernode")
|
||||
|
||||
fmt.Println(tree.String())
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Will give you:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.
|
||||
├── one
|
||||
│ ├── subnode1
|
||||
│ ├── subnode2
|
||||
│ ├── two
|
||||
│ │ ├── subnode1
|
||||
│ │ ├── subnode2
|
||||
│ │ └── three
|
||||
│ │ ├── subnode1
|
||||
│ │ └── subnode2
|
||||
│ └── subnode3
|
||||
└── outernode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Another case, when you have to make a tree where any leaf may have some meta-data (as `tree` is capable of it):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func main {
|
||||
// to add a custom root name use `treeprint.NewWithRoot()` instead
|
||||
tree := treeprint.New()
|
||||
|
||||
tree.AddNode("Dockerfile")
|
||||
tree.AddNode("Makefile")
|
||||
tree.AddNode("aws.sh")
|
||||
tree.AddMetaBranch(" 204", "bin").
|
||||
AddNode("dbmaker").AddNode("someserver").AddNode("testtool")
|
||||
tree.AddMetaBranch(" 374", "deploy").
|
||||
AddNode("Makefile").AddNode("bootstrap.sh")
|
||||
tree.AddMetaNode("122K", "testtool.a")
|
||||
|
||||
fmt.Println(tree.String())
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.
|
||||
├── Dockerfile
|
||||
├── Makefile
|
||||
├── aws.sh
|
||||
├── [ 204] bin
|
||||
│ ├── dbmaker
|
||||
│ ├── someserver
|
||||
│ └── testtool
|
||||
├── [ 374] deploy
|
||||
│ ├── Makefile
|
||||
│ └── bootstrap.sh
|
||||
└── [122K] testtool.a
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Iterating over the tree nodes
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
tree := New()
|
||||
|
||||
one := tree.AddBranch("one")
|
||||
one.AddNode("one-subnode1").AddNode("one-subnode2")
|
||||
one.AddBranch("two").AddNode("two-subnode1").AddNode("two-subnode2").
|
||||
AddBranch("three").AddNode("three-subnode1").AddNode("three-subnode2")
|
||||
tree.AddNode("outernode")
|
||||
|
||||
// if you need to iterate over the whole tree
|
||||
// call `VisitAll` from your top root node.
|
||||
tree.VisitAll(func(item *node) {
|
||||
if len(item.Nodes) > 0 {
|
||||
// branch nodes
|
||||
fmt.Println(item.Value) // will output one, two, three
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// leaf nodes
|
||||
fmt.Println(item.Value) // will output one-*, two-*, three-* and outernode
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Yay! So it works.
