directory-tree: A simple directory-like tree datatype, with useful IO functions

A simple directory-like tree datatype, with useful IO functions and Foldable and Traversable instance

Provides a simple data structure mirroring a directory tree on the filesystem, as well as useful functions for reading and writing file and directory structures in the IO monad.

Importing the library and optional (useful) Foldable and Traverable libraries:

import System.Directory.Tree
import qualified Data.Foldable as F
import qualified Data.Traversable as T

Write a hand-made directory tree of textfiles (strings) to the disk. Simulates creating a new user Tux's home directory on a unix machine:

writeDirectory$ "/home" :/ Dir "Tux" [File "README" "Welcome!"]

"read" a directory by opening all the files at a filepath with readFile, returning an 'AnchoredDirTree String' (d2). Then check for any IO failures:

do (base :/ d2) <- readDirectory "../parent_dir/dir2/"
   let failed = anyFailed d2
   if failed then ...

Use Foldable instance function to concat a directory dir of text files into a single file under the same directory:

do (b :/ dt) <- readDirectory dir
   let f = F.concat dt
   return$ b :/ File "ALL_TEXT" f

Open all the files in the current directory as lazy bytestrings, ignoring the base path in Anchored wrapper:

import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as B
do (_ :/ dTree) <- readDirectoryWith B.readFile "./"
