tree-parse

A super simple package to parse the string output of the unix tree command into an object.

Use the parse function to convert the output of the unix tree command into an object. The object will contain keys for each file or directory found.

Each file will have a value that is an empty object, with each directory's value being an object containing all its children.

Use the files function to convert the output of the tree function into a single array of files, as strings.

const { parse } = require('tree-parse');
