Folder Structure

Overview

Folder Structure is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps you quickly generate a clean, readable Markdown representation of your project's folder structure.

Features

• Automatically generates a project structure overview
• Excludes common build, dependency, and system folders
• Supports multiple programming languages and project types
• Saves the structure as project_structure.md in your project root

How to Use

1. Open your project in Visual Studio Code
2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P)
3. Type "Save Folder Structure"
4. Select the command to generate the project structure

Excluded Folders

The extension automatically excludes:

• Dependency folders (node_modules, vendor, etc.)
• Build directories (dist, build, out, target)
• Version control folders (.git, .svn)
• IDE-specific folders (.vscode, .idea)
• Temporary and cache folders
• Environment and secret files

Example Output

my-project/
│
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   └── utils/
├── tests/
├── package.json
└── README.md

Customization

Currently, the extension uses a predefined list of excluded folders. Future versions may include configuration options.
