Can anyone tell me the name or type of simple chart this is.

Question

I am looking to create a table of content of sorts for my application like I have seen other doing but I have no idea what this called or what generates it. If anyone can help me figure this out I would be very greatful.

Example of code:

sandbox/
├── app/                  ← directory with application
│   ├── config/           ← configuration files
│   │   ├── config.dev    ← main config file
│   │   └── config.local 
│   │
│   ├── forms/            ← form classes
│   ├── model/            ← model layer and its classes
│   ├── presenters/       ← presenter classes
│   │   ├── HomepagePresenter.php  ← Homepage presenter class
│   │   └── templates/    ← templates directory
│   │       ├── @layout.latte ← template of shared layout
│   │       └── Homepage/     ← templates for Homepage presenter
│   │           └── default.latte  ← template for default action
│   ├── router/           ← router classes
│   │
│   └── bootstrap.php     ← application boot file
│
├── log/                  ← contains logs, errors, etc.
├── temp/                 ← for temporary files, cache, ...
│
├── vendor/               ← directory with libraries (for example 3rd party)
│   ├── name/             ← all Name Framework libraries
│   │   └── name/name     ← Name Framework itself installed by Composer
│   ├── ...
│   │
│   └── autoload.php      ← script that handles autoloading of all classes from installed packages
│
└── www/                  ← public directory, document root of project
    ├── .htaccess         ← rules for mod_rewrite
    ├── index.php         ← triggers the application
    └── images/           ← other directories, images, styles, ..

Answer 1

That is a TreeListView. It contains a TreeView on the left side, and then an attached ListView on the left with one or more columns for showing data about each leaf or node in the TreeView.

Answer 2

The control you are talking about is often called a TreeView or TreeListView (depending on the programming language). Here is a good example of creating one in PHP:

In any case, you can't directly make the TreeView in PHP. You can however as shown above, make it using a CSS style file.

Answer 3

OK, I have found a way to get this started.

Install with sudo apt-get install tree.

Route::get('/tree', function () {
    $process = new Process('tree -CHhd database');
    try {
        $process->mustRun();
        echo $process->getOutput();
    } catch (ProcessFailedException $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }
});

This still needs some tweaking, but thank all of you for the help getting me started.
