list-directory-contents

list-directory-contents

Implements ls -R for Node.js.

Installation

$ npm install list-directory-contents

Usage

var ls = require('list-directory-contents');

ls('./', function (err, tree) {
  
  // NOTE:
  // everything ending in `/` in the output below is a path to a directory
  // all other paths are to files
  
  
  // `tree` =>
  [
    'index.js',
    'README',
    'package.json',
    'CONTRIBUTING.md',
    'node_modules/',

    'node_modules/lodash/',
    'node_modules/async/',
    'node_modules/fs-extra/',

    'node_modules/fs-extra/index.js',
    'node_modules/fs-extra/lib/',
    'node_modules/fs-extra/node_modules/'
  ];
  
});

Why?

This module is merely a convenience-- @daaku did the hard work :)

It's just a thin wrapper for walker that presents a minimalist API. For EventEmitter usage (with built-in file vs. dir parsing), please use walker directly. See https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/issues/63#issuecomment-49733873 for more info on motivations/goals.
