folder-to-object

Convert a folder of data files into an object

Installation

npm install folder-to-object

Usage

Given this folder structure:

- data/
  - one.json
  - two/
    - three.yml
    - four.js

You can convert the entire folder and the contents of its files into one big object.

const { join } = require('path');
const toObject = require('folder-to-object');

toObject(join(process.cwd(), 'data')).then(res => console.log(res));
/*
{
  "one": { ... },
  "two": {
    "three": { ... },
    "four": { ... },
  },
}
*/

Supported formats include JSON, YAML, CSON, or a JavaScript file with a module.exports.

Note: if you have a folder and file with the same name at the same level, the two will be in conflict. Try to avoid this.

API
