file-lister

Simple file listing in directories using Node.js.

example

var listFiles = require('file-lister');
 
listFiles(["folder1", "/my/favorite/folder/"], function(error, files) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        console.log(files.join("\n"));
    }
});

which outputs

/absolute/path/to/folder1/file1
/absolute/path/to/folder1/file2
/absolute/path/to/folder1/another/folder/file3
/my/favorite/folder/file4
/my/favorite/folder/file5

methods

listFiles(dirs, options, cb)

List all the files recursively in dirs.

dirs can be a string or an array of strings. They will each be used as arguments of fs.readdir, so read its documentation if needed.

Either cb(error) will be called if an error occurs at any time in the process, or cb(null, files) with files being an array of files as strings. Only files are listed, no directories.

options is optional, but allows for more configuration. options.maxDepth will make the lister stop after options.maxDepth recursions.

install

Using npm:

npm install file-lister
