Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install --save-dev markdown-magic-transform-treefile-extended

Usage

1. Add an HTML comment to your README.md:

   This comment will be replaced by the file tree.

   <!-- __doc-gen__ fileTreeExtended -->
   <!-- __end-doc-gen__ -->

2. Create and configure the transform in markdown-magic.config.js:

   const fileTreeExtended = require('markdown-magic-transform-treefile-extended');
   
   module.exports = {
     transforms: {
       fileTreeExtended,
     },
   };

3. Run the markdown-magic command:

   npx markdown-magic README.md --config markdown-magic.config.js

4. README.md should now look like this:

   <!-- __doc-gen__ fileTreeExtended -->

Show Descriptions

Use the showDescriptions option to display the descriptions of files and folders. The descriptions are sourced from the descriptions property in transformDefaults.fileTreeExtended in your markdown-magic.config.js file.

Show File Sizes and Descriptions

Use both showSize and showDescriptions to display both the size and description of each file. The descriptions are sourced from the descriptions property in transformDefaults.fileTreeExtended in your markdown-magic.config.js file.
