dirtree-chart 0.0.6
Directory structure diagram generator

## Description
**dirtree-chart** is a tiny tool for creating folder structure diagrams based on **mermaids** markdown syntax.
The output will be saved in an seperate `.mmd` file or may be included in a `README.md`. The idea behind **dirtree-chart**
is to simple include it in your build tasks for generic charts in your repository.
In the future, image output (`svg`, `png`, `pdf`, ...) will be implemented.

## Installation
```
pip install dirtree-chart
```

## Usage and Examples
- To get information about the tool run `python -m dirtree_chart -h` in the command line.
- For big projects it should be considered to limit the folder depth to a suitable level (e.g. `-md 3`). 
- Files which should not be includes may be put into the ignore list (`-il file1, file2`). At the moment no wildcard definition is supported. 
- For git project the mermaid output markdown may be written to the `README.md` file (`-i true`). Currently only the file extention .md is supported. 
- Define the direction of the graph (`-d TD`). TD = Top-Down, LR = Left-Right.

### Scripts
```python
from dirtree_chart import diagram
from dirtree_chart import config

# Add files or folders to ignore list
ignore_list = config.ignore_list.copy()
ignore_list.extend([".secrets", "ect.f"])

# Create diagram
diagram.DirStrucTree(ignore = ignore_list)
```
### Command line
```
python -m dirtree_chart [-h] [-r ROOT] [-i INCLUDE_TO_README] [-d DIRECTION] [-md MAXDEPTH] [-il IGNORELIST [IGNORELIST ...]
```

## Todos
- Image format (svg, png, ...) output
- Ignore list should accept regex
