Get an array of all files in a directory and subdirectories.
npm install recursive-readdir
Recursively list all files in a directory and its subdirectories. It does not list the directories themselves.
Because it uses fs.readdir, which calls readdir under the hood
on OS X and Linux, the order of files inside directories is not guaranteed.
npm install recursive-readdir
``javascript
var recursive = require("recursive-readdir");
recursive("some/path", function (err, files) {
// files is an array of file paths`
console.log(files);
});
It can also take a list of files to ignore.
`javascript
var recursive = require("recursive-readdir");
// ignore files named "foo.cs" or files that end in ".html".
recursive("some/path", ["foo.cs", "*.html"], function (err, files) {
console.log(files);
});
`
You can also pass functions which are called to determine whether or not to
ignore a file:
`javascript
var recursive = require("recursive-readdir");
function ignoreFunc(file, stats) {
// file is the path to the file, and stats is an fs.Stats
// object returned from .
return stats.isDirectory() && path.basename(file) == "test";
}
// Ignore files named "foo.cs" and descendants of directories named test
recursive("some/path", ["foo.cs", ignoreFunc], function (err, files) {
console.log(files);
});
`
`javascript
var recursive = require("recursive-readdir");
recursive("some/path").then(
function(files) {
console.log("files are", files);
},
function(error) {
console.error("something exploded", error);
}
);
``
The ignore strings support Glob syntax via
minimatch.
