A Simple DSL to create Directory Tree with Text Files

Hi there 👋

directree's Issues

Ability to build a tree representation without actually creating the dirs/files

A build method should setup a directory layout without touching the file system. There should be a way to refer the files and directories in the DirTree either using some handle or may be the path from root.

Ability to specify `append`

file method should accept an optional value for append, which if set to true will append the content, if the file already exists in the tree.

Ability to specify `overwrite`

file method should accept an optional value for overwrite, which will decide whether or not to overwrite a file, if it already exists in the tree.

Include in maven central

Support nested closure

When nesting closures while building directree, only root path is being considered in file path.

def tree = build("test"){
  dir "files", {
    10.times { i ->
      file "file-$i"
    }
  }
}
tree.walk{it.file}

test/files/file-0 should be the path instead of test/file-0

rename sync method

call it syncOnce for clarity

Create a CLI for the DSL

User input will be just the dsl part and not the whole script (imports etc).

This can be piped in, or by providing a -f option to read given file, to typed in the interactive prompt or may be opening users $EDITOR a la git commit
