read-dir-files

read-dir-files

Module for recursively (and non-recursively) reading all files in a directory.

Installation

npm install read-dir-files

Usage

  var readDirFiles = require('read-dir-files');

  readDirFiles.list('directory', function (err, filenames) {
    if (err) return console.dir(err);
    console.dir(filenames);
  });

  readDirFiles.read('directory', function (err, files) {
    if (err) return console.dir(err);
    console.dir(files);
  });

readDirFiles.read(dir, encoding, recursive, callback)

Parameters:

• dir Directory to read files from
• encoding Files encoding. Optional.
• recursive Recurse into subdirectories? Optional, default true.
• callback Callback. Optional.

Asynchronously reads all files from dir and returns them to the callback in form:

{
   dir: {
     file0: <Buffer ...>,
     file1: <Buffer ...>,
     sub: {
      file0: <Buffer ...>
    }
  }
}

If you pass it the encoding, instead of buffers you'll get strings.

readDirFiles.list(dir, options, callback)

Parameters:

• dir Directory to read filenames from
• options Files encoding. Optional.
  • options.recursive Recurses subdirectories.
  • options.normalize Normalizes filenames.
• recursive Recurse into subdirectories? Optional, default true.
• callback Callback. Optional.

Asynchronously reads all filenames from dir and returns them to the callback in form:

[
  'dir',
  'file0',
  'file1'
]
