//Very basic example of using jsonautotree to read a few example nodes and
//structure the tree and branches automatically.

var nodeTree = require('./jsonautotree.js');
var fs = require('fs');

//I normally install the fs functions and then just grab every node in the lib
var nodes = fs.readdirSync('./examples/nodes');

for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {
  nodeTree.buildBranch('./examples/nodes/' + nodes[i]);
}

//Then get a node and all its properties, grabbed heirarchically

var school = nodeTree.getNode('school');

//Test to make sure school inherited the shape property
console.log("Nodetype 'school' has 'shape' property of: " + school.shape);
