Copy Folder Structure

Features:

• Copy Folder Structure to clipboard.
• Supports two output formats:
  • JSON Format (default)
  • Plain Text Format (tree-like structure with |-- for hierarchy).
• Right-click context menu in Explorer for easy access.
• Automatically ignores files and folders specified in .gitignore (e.g., node_modules).

Installation:

1. Open VS Code.
2. Go to the Extensions tab.
3. Search for Copy Folder Structure and click Install.

Usage:

• Right-click a folder in Explorer and select Copy Folder Structure.
• Alternatively, open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for Copy Folder Structure.

Settings:

• outputFormat: Choose between:
  • JSON Format
  • Plain Text Format

Modify in Settings (Ctrl+,) under folderStructure.

Example Output:

• JSON Format:

  {
    "app": {
      "index.js": null,
      "hello.js": null
    },
    "test": {
      "test.ts": null
    }
  }
  

• Plain Text Format:

  app
     |-- index.js
     |-- hello.js
  test
     |-- test.ts
  

How It Works:

• Scans the folder structure, respecting .gitignore files.
• Excludes files like node_modules and hidden files by default.
• Copies the structure to clipboard in the selected format.

Troubleshooting:

• No Option in Context Menu: Reload VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+P → Reload Window).
• Clipboard Not Working: Check system permissions.
