Node.js Library for Hierarchical Data in Flat Ordered JSON

FlatHier is a lightweight Node.js library designed to create and manipulate hierarchical data stored in a flat JSON structure. It provides a set of core, data handling, and utility functions to manage hierarchical data efficiently.

• Core Functions: Create, add, delete, promote, demote, and move hierarchical objects.
• Utility Functions: Generate ASCII tree representations, compute outlines, generate unique IDs, and more.

Install the library using npm:

• addObject(data, outlineNumber): Add an object to the hierarchy under the specified outline number.

• deleteObject(data, outlineNumber): Delete an object by its outlineNumber.

• promote(data, outlineNumber): Promote an object and its children in the hierarchy.

• demote(data, outlineNumber): Demote an object and its children in the hierarchy.

• moveUp(data, outlineNumber): Move an object and its children up in the hierarchy.

• moveDown(data, outlineNumber): Move an object and its children down in the hierarchy.

• createAsciiTree(data, fieldsToInclude): Generate an ASCII representation of the hierarchy given the data and the fields from the object to include in the tree title.

  Example:

  const asciiTree = flathier.createAsciiTree(data, ['title', 'status']); console.log(asciiTree);

• getLastItemOutline(): Get the outline of the last item in the hierarchy.
• getLastTemplateObject(): Get the template object for the last item in the hierarchy.
