Create Structure Tool

About the Project

Create Structure is a Python tool designed to help developers quickly generate file and folder structures based on an outline provided in a text file. It simplifies the process of organizing projects, creating Python classes, and generating __init__.py files automatically.

With this tool, you can easily:

• Generate a project structure with folders and files.
• Automatically create Python class files with a basic class template.
• Generate __init__.py files that import classes for easier module management.
• Creating a setup.py file.
• Creating a README.md file.
• Creating a LICENSE file.

Features

• Flexible Input: Provide a text file that outlines the structure of your project.
• Automatic Class Creation: Automatically creates Python class templates in .py files.
• Init File Generation: Automatically generates __init__.py files for importing modules.
• Setup File Generation: Automatically generates setup.py file, The file is generated with ready-to-use content for installation.
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Installation

You can install the tool directly from source or by using pip.

From Source:

git clone https://github.com/hemaabokila/create_structure.git
cd create_structure
python install .

From PyPI:

pip install create_struc

Usage

After installing the tool, you can run it directly from the command line.

Syntax:

ceartes <path_to_outline_file>

1- Example: Create a text file, e.g., structure.txt:

src/
    main.py
    utils.py
tests/
    test_main.py
    test_utils.py

2- Run the command:

ceartes structure.txt

3- The tool will generate the following structure:

├── src/
│   ├── main.py
│   ├── utils.py
│   └── __init__.py
├── tests/
│   ├── test_main.py
│   ├── test_utils.py
│   └── __init__.py
├── README.md
├── setup.py
└── LICENSE

Arguments

file (Required): Path to the outline text file that specifies the project structure.

Example Command:

ceartes my_structure.txt

How It Works

1- Reads the outline from a text file.

2- Creates directories and files based on the provided structure.

3- For Python files:

• Adds a basic class template.
• Generates init.py files for importing classes in submodules.
