File Tree

About

A keyboard-navigable file/folder tree view with expandable branches and an animated selection highlight, for displaying a project's directory structure.

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

Code

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