Implementation

General

1. Clone the repository with git clone git@github.com:laub1199/readme-project-structure-generator.git
2. Run npm install to install dependencies
3. Edit the src/config.ts file to your liking
4. Run npm run gen to generate the README.md file
5. Output will be in src/README.md

Config Modification

The src/config.ts file contains the configuration for the project structure, edit the projectStructure variable to your liking. The projectStructure variable is an array of objects, each object represents a directory.

The projectStructure variable is in a key-value pair format, where the key is the directory name while the value can be either a string or a object.
For example, if the value is a string, the string will be the directory's description.

const projectStructuer = {
    'src': 'Source Code',
    'dist': 'Distribution Code',
    'node_modules': '',
    '...': '',
}

// The above will generate the following:
// .
// ├── src                  # Source Code
// ├── dist                 # Distribution Code
// ├── node_modules
// └── ...

If the value is an object, the object will contain the directory's description and the directory's sub-directories.

const projectStructuer = {
    'src': {
        'index.ts': 'Project Entry',
        'subDirectories': {
            'config': 'Configuration Files',
            'index.ts': 'Project Entry'
        }
    }
}

// The above will generate the following:
// .
// └── src
//     ├── index.ts         # Project Entry
//     └── subDirectories
//         ├── config       # Configuration Files
//         └── index.ts     # Project Entry
