Development Roadmap

[ByteBaker]

As part of improving tree-rs in the course of the foreseeable future, following tasks are to be completed.

• Refactor the project structure, debloat main.rs.
• Add support for -d flag.
• Add GitHub CI for crates.io
• Add support for -I flag.
• Add more test cases and refactor existing ones.
• Check possibility of and maybe then migrate tests from Python to Rust.
• Add documentation to track features ported from tree and the ones for future.
• Add a template to create issues.
• Benchmark the code and improve. Currently tree-rs seems to be slower than tree.
• Work on issue Doesn't with symlinked directory on Windows #14

@sighol please add more items that you think should be here.

Hi @sighol,

I've started implementing -I, which made me realize that we may have to change the type of -P parameter as well.

According to man tree:

    -P pattern
    List only those files that match the wild-card pattern. You may have multiple -P options. <omitted the rest>

    -I pattern
    Do not list those files that match the wild-card pattern. You may have multiple -I options. See -P above for information on wildcard patterns.

Currently, include_pattern is defined as:

/// List only those files matching <`include_pattern`>
#[clap(short = 'P')]
include_pattern: Option<String>,

Which should be changed to

/// List only those files matching <`include_pattern`>
#[clap(short = 'P')]
include_pattern: Vec<String>,

What do you think? I'll define a parameter exclude_pattern for -I which will have the same signature, but will be used to exlude those that match. What do you think?

Thanks! That sounds very reasonable!
