What is an ASCII Tree Generator?
An ASCII Tree Generator is an online folder tree generator tool that help developers to create a visual representation of an application's folder structure.
This tool can be used by developers to create directory structure of the coding project. Document writers can use this tool to create the project layouts whereas other people can use this app as a mindmap tool to display the information in a simple and concise manner.
ASCII Tree Example
Folder Structure:
root
folder1
file1.txt
file2.txt
folder2
subfolder1
file3.txt
ASCII Tree:
root
├── folder1
│ ├── file1.txt
│ └── file2.txt
└── folder2
└── subfolder1
└── file3.txt
How to Use the ASCII Tree Generator?
1. Input
- Type your folder structure using '#' symbols to represent folder hierarchy
- Each level of subfolders should contain an additional '#' symbol
- For example:
Root
#Folder 1
##Subfolder 1
###Subfolder 1.1
##Subfolder 2
###Subfolder 2.1
#Folder 2
##Subfolder 1
###Subfolder 1.1
###Subfolder 1.2
#Public
##assets
#README.md
Root
├── Folder 1
│ ├── Subfolder 1
│ │ └── Subfolder 1.1
│ ├── Subfolder 2
│ │ └── Subfolder 2.1
├── Folder 2
│ ├── Subfolder 1
│ │ └── Subfolder 1.1
│ │ └── Subfolder 1.2
├── Public
│ └── assets
└── README.md
2. ASCII Tree Generation
- As you type in the input box, the ASCII tree is generated automatically in the realtime. Therefore, you can make any changes and see the results in realtime. This feature will save a lot of your precious time
- Once you have done generating the folder tree structure, then you can use the 'Copy' button to copy the tree structure to your clipboard
- Use the 'Reset' button to clear the contents of the input field
Note: The topmost line of text will automatically be treated as the root directory regardless of whether it contains '#' symbol or not. Please do not include '#' or any other symbols for the root directory. Use '#' symbol only for subdirectories.
