fast-find-in-files

Fast find in files

fast-find-in-files recursively searches all files in selected directory and sub-directories for text matches. The library is built completely in c++ and exposes its functionality using node-addon-api.

Example

import { fastFindInFiles } from 'fast-find-in-files'

const directory = process.cwd()
const needle = 'needle'

const result = fastFindInFiles(directory, needle)

console.log(result)
// [
//   {
//     filePath: '<path>',
//     queryHits: [
//       {
//         line: 'It would appear there is a <needle> on this particular line',
//         lineNumber: 1,
//         link: '<path>:1:28',
//         offset: 28,
//       },
//     ],
//     totalHits: 1,
//   },
// ]
