Tree Box Drawing

Navigation 16

About

A file/directory tree rendered with real monospace box-drawing connectors (├── └── │) that redraw themselves as folders expand and collapse, with full keyboard navigation.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Tree Box Drawing to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Tree Box Drawing is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.
