This is a frontend web application that provides a simple UI for exploring a mock file system. A basic JSON data scructure with nested children is included and serves as a mock data source. The project uses no framework or libraries outside of code linting, formatting, testing, and spinning up a development server. No libraries or dependencies are used in the deployed version of the application (all dependencies are dev dependencies).
The UI features a sidebar with the folder tree containing nested folders that can collapse/expand and a table that displays the contents of the selected folder (files and folders). Clicking a folder from either the folder tree or the folder contents table selects that folder for display.
Some basic unit tests for helper functions are included (instructions to run these tests can be found below).
This application is deployed on Netlify and can be accessed at: https://dapper-buttercream-2d6a94.netlify.app/
The Netlify project is pointed at the main branch of this repo. Any new commits will trigger a new deploy automatically.
