File tree view from json

legendary · October 8

There is sample manifest.json data:

[
  {
    "relative_path": ".",
    "type": "directory",
    "permissions": "drwxr-xr-x",
    "size_kb": "4\n102412\n204820",
    "uuid": "0117abc9-c203-46bb-86f2-2f5428c431b5"
  },
  {
    "relative_path": "debian",
    "type": "directory",
    "permissions": "drwxr-xr-x",
    "size_kb": "4\n102412",
    "uuid": "22c640df-0c9c-4a9b-b6db-11caf993c8ca"
  },
  {
    "relative_path": "debian/meta",
    "type": "directory",
    "permissions": "drwxr-xr-x",
    "size_kb": "4",
    "uuid": "c2ae6f96-8759-42ad-b4af-e9090cd6cf03"
  },
  {
    "relative_path": "debian/100MB.bin",
    "type": "file",
    "permissions": "-rw-r--r--",
    "size_kb": "102404",
    "uuid": "d2a61ae7-ec0f-4e4b-8ed7-6e72b576e9db"
  },
  {
    "relative_path": "debian/.hidden_test",
    "type": "file",
    "permissions": "-rw-r--r--",
    "size_kb": "0",
    "uuid": "c24beda3-95a9-4760-9871-dff2fe9f621e"
  },
  {
    "relative_path": "100MB.bin",
    "type": "file",
    "permissions": "-rw-r--r--",
    "size_kb": "102404",
    "uuid": "cee66700-9f7a-432e-949f-62bafd938700"
  }
]

I need to create file tree viewer according to that json. Example like this:

I know that there is zTree jquery plugin, but I need something else, as that plugin is in chinese and with 0 support.

P.S. Do not offer cGPT or v0.dev. Those tools are useless for this task.

Have a look at the output of this tool: https://www.rlvision.com/snap2html/about.php

Chances are that may throw a couple of ideas.

Another inspiration sources are this simpler lister: https://gitlab.com/desbest/celeron-dude-indexer/ and a file list from UFS Explorer, which looks more like the first one above.

This lib will help making the columns sortable: https://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/
