glob-size

glob-size

Get the total size of a glob of files.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save glob-size

This is similar to the UNIX du command (try du -sh * for example), but has a JavaScript API. This can be used in linters or build tools, etc. (this is also similar to doing something like ls -l *).

CLI usage

$ gs
$ gs *
$ gs "**" -t
$ gs "**" -d node_modules

Options:
  --cwd, -d      directory to search from                         [default: "."]
  --pattern, -p  one or more glob patterns, comma-separated
  --table, -t    Show a text table of files sorted by size
  --stats, -s    log out the entire stats object with all files
  --help         Show help                                             [boolean]

API usage

const size = require('glob-size');

Params

• patterns {string|array}
• options {object}
• returns {promise}

Example

// get the size of all files in the cwd
size('*')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)

.sync

Synchronously get the size of all files that match the given glob patterns.

Params

• patterns {String|Array}
• options {Object}
• returns {Object}

Example

// get the size of all files in the cwd
const stats = size.sync('*');
console.log(stats);

.stats.top

Returns the top n files by size, sorted in ascending order. (this method is exposed on the returned stats object)

Params

• n {Number}: The number of files to return.
• returns {Array}: Array of the top n files

Example

size('node_modules/**')
  .then(stats => console.log(stats.top(25)))
  .catch(console.error);

.stats.tableize

Create a text table from the stats.files array returned by the main export, or from the .top method. (this method is exposed on the returned stats object)

Params

• files {Array}
• returns {String}

Example

// tableize the 3 largest files in "node_modules/**"
size('node_modules/**')
  .then(stats => console.log(stats.table(stats.top(3))))
  .catch(console.error);

// tableize all files
size('node_modules/**')
  .then(stats => console.log(stats.table(stats.files)))
  .catch(console.error);

Examples

The following examples assume the code is inside an async function.

// get the size of all `.js` files in the cwd
console.log(await size('*.js'));

// get the size of all `.js` files in "./foo"
console.log(await size('*.js', { cwd: 'foo' }));

// show the 25 largest files in "node_modules/**"
const stats = await size('node_modules/**');
console.log(stats.top(25));

// show the 3 largest files in "node_modules/**"
const stats = await size('node_modules/**');
console.log(stats.top(3));

// show the 3 largest files in "node_modules/**"
const stats = await size('node_modules/**');
console.log(stats.top(3));

// tableize the 3 largest files in "node_modules/**"
const stats = await size('node_modules/**');
console.log(stats.table(stats.top(50)));

// tableize all files
const stats = await size('node_modules/**');
console.log(stats.table(stats.files));
