Vuepress Sidebar children auto-generator

Creates children objects so that you won't have to do it manually

Install

via NPM

npm i @omar2535/vuepress-sidebar-children-autogenerator

via YARN

yarn add @omar2535/vuepress-sidebar-children-autogenerator

Usage

let childrenGenerator = require('@omar2535/vuepress-sidebar-children-autogenerator');

then in .vuepress/config.js, if we had a directory structure like so:

.
+-- .vuepress
+-- notes
|   +-- readme.md
|   +-- course_notes
|       +-- readme.md
|       +-- PHYS100.md
|   +-- random.md

adding the following to the sidebar config like so:

sidebar: 
{
  '/notes/': childrenGenerator('/notes/'),
}

would result in a conversion like this when compiled:

sidebar: 
{
  '/notes/': [
    {
      title: 'course_notes',
      path: '/notes/course_notes/',
      collapsable: true,
      children: [ '/notes/course_notes/PHYS100.md' ]
    },
    "random.md"
  ],
}
