archy ===== Render nested hierarchies `npm ls` style with unicode pipes. [![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/substack/node-archy.png)](http://travis-ci.org/substack/node-archy) example ======= ``` js var archy = require('archy'); var s = archy({ label : 'beep', nodes : [ 'ity', { label : 'boop', nodes : [ { label : 'o_O', nodes : [ { label : 'oh', nodes : [ 'hello', 'puny' ] }, 'human' ] }, 'party\ntime!' ] } ] }); console.log(s); ``` output ``` beep ├── ity └─┬ boop ├─┬ o_O │ ├─┬ oh │ │ ├── hello │ │ └── puny │ └── human └── party time! ``` methods ======= var archy = require('archy') archy(obj, prefix='', opts={}) ------------------------------ Return a string representation of `obj` with unicode pipe characters like how `npm ls` looks. `obj` should be a tree of nested objects with `'label'` and `'nodes'` fields. `'label'` is a string of text to display at a node level and `'nodes'` is an array of the descendents of the current node. If a node is a string, that string will be used as the `'label'` and an empty array of `'nodes'` will be used. `prefix` gets prepended to all the lines and is used by the algorithm to recursively update. If `'label'` has newlines they will be indented at the present indentation level with the current prefix. To disable unicode results in favor of all-ansi output set `opts.unicode` to `false`. install ======= With [npm](http://npmjs.org) do: ``` npm install archy ``` license ======= MIT/X11
