tree_view

What this is

A library which easily formats tree structures into a view. This can be the output of an cli or part of a view in a tui.

Tree structures just need to implement the trait TreeView.

The trait TreeView has only one implementation of the function fn to_node(&self) -> Node.

An example implementation for the struct TestMap:

#derive[Eq, Ord, PartialEq, PartialOrd]
pub struct TestMap {
    pub key: String,
    pub value: Vec<TestMap>,
}

impl ToTreeView for TestMap {
    fn to_node(&self) -> Node {
        node: self.key.clone(),
        children: self.value.iter().map(|v| v.to_node()).collect(),
    }
}

Output of a TestMap:

Root
├── Leaf1
├── Node1
│   ├── Leaf2
│   └── Node2
│       ├── Leaf3
│       └── Leaf4
├── Node3
│   └── Leaf5
└── Node4
    └── Leaf6
