This PR adds a --json flag which causes lsd to output the Metas as JSON.
It's a basic proof of concept I put together in an evening, so there are some
.unwrap()s and rough edges. It's meant to show what I imagine this feature to look like so you can decide whether this is something you actually want implemented in lsd. If it is I can start working on a more serious implementation.Why?
Combining this flag with something like nushell allows users to create ls aliases that output structured nu data but still look pretty.
For example, this alias:
results in this output:
