Get Started
Create a Folder Structure
Open Talstra Json Folder & Files Maker.
In the View tab, under the Json group, select Load Example.
The example JSON will load in the canvas area.
This JSON represents a hierarchical structure of folders and files. It provides information about the name, type, and content of each item in the structure. The root item in the loaded example is a folder called “Projects”. It contains four child items, each of which is also a folder with a different name. Each folder has a “children” array, which lists the child items within it. The child items can be either folders or files.
The properties for each item are as follows:
The JSON is used to represent a file system or a hierarchical structure of data in any application that requires such a structure.
Load Example: When the “Load Example Json” menu item is clicked, the application should load a pre-defined JSON file into the canvas view. The JSON file should contain a hierarchical structure of folders and files, similar to the one provided in the previous question. Once the JSON file is loaded, the application should display the contents of the JSON file in the canvas view.
Load Template Json: When the “Load Template Json” menu item is clicked, the application should prompt the user to select a JSON file from their local file system. The JSON file should contain a hierarchical structure of folders and files, similar to the one provided in the previous question. Once the JSON file is selected, the application should load the contents of the JSON file into the canvas view.
- Open Directory: When the “Open Directory” menu item is clicked, the application should open the directory that contains the folders and files created by the application. This directory should be the same directory that was used to save the JSON file when the user clicks on the “Save” menu item (see below).
Run Json: When the “Run Json” menu item is clicked, the application should read the JSON file in the canvas view and create the corresponding folders and files in the directory specified by the user. Each folder and file in the JSON should be created in the directory, with the appropriate name and content as specified in the JSON. If any errors occur during the creation of folders or files, the application should display an error message to the user.
After running the JSON, the resulting folders and files in the specified directory should match the structure specified in the JSON file. In other words, the directory should contain all of the folders and files listed in the JSON, with the appropriate names and contents.
Save: When the “Save” menu item is clicked, the application should prompt the user to select a location to save the JSON file. The JSON file should contain a hierarchical structure of folders and files, similar to the one provided in the previous question. Once the location is selected, the application should save the contents of the canvas view to a JSON file in the selected location.Overall, Talstra Json Folder & Files Maker menu items provide the user with the ability to load a JSON file, create folders and files based on the JSON, open the directory where the folders and files were created, save the contents of the canvas view to a JSON file, and execute the JSON to create the corresponding folders and files.
