CLI tool that visualizes directory structures with colorized output, customizable filtering, sorting, and depth control

File Mapper - Directory Visualization Tool

A simple yet powerful CLI tool built with Dart that visualizes the directory structure of your project with colorized output. File Mapper helps you quickly understand your project's file organization with customizable filtering, sorting, and depth options.

Features

• 🌲 Beautiful Tree Visualization: Displays your directories and files in a colorized tree structure
• 📊 Size Information: Optional display of file and directory sizes
• 🔍 Customizable Depth: Control how deep the directory traversal goes
• 🔄 Flexible Sorting: Sort by name or size, in ascending or descending order
• ⛔ Filtering: Skip irrelevant directories like node_modules, .git, etc.
• ⚙️ Persistent Configuration: Save your preferred ignore patterns

Installation

From Pub.dev

dart pub global activate file_mapper

From Source

Usage

file_mapper [options]

Options

• -s, --size: Show file and directory sizes
• -h, --help: Show help information
• -i, --ignore <pattern>: Patterns to ignore (can be used multiple times)
• --sort-by <criteria>: Sort entries by (name, size)
• --sort-direction <direction>: Sort direction (asc, desc)
• -l, --level <n>: Maximum directory depth to display

Examples

Display directory tree with file sizes:

file_mapper --size

Show directory tree with maximum depth of 2:

file_mapper --level 2

Ignore specific directories:

file_mapper --ignore node_modules --ignore .git

Sort files by size in descending order:

file_mapper --size --sort-by size --sort-direction desc

Configuration

File Mapper creates a configuration file at ~/.file_mapper_config.json that stores default ignore patterns. By default, the following patterns are ignored:

• .git
• .idea
• .vscode
• node_modules
• build
• out
• dist
• .dart_tool
• .packages
• .pub-cache
• .flutter-plugins
• .flutter-plugins-dependencies

You can edit this file to customize your default ignore patterns.
