bash
$ npm install --save disk-usage
`javascript
const scanner = require('disk-usage')const args = {
path: '.',
group: 'tld'
sort: 'size',
onError: (err) => {
// disk access / permission error
},
onProgress (currentPath, currentStats) => {
// called for each top level directory
}
}
scanner
.scan(args)
.then((stats) => {
// scan complete!
console.log(stats)
})
