FilesFinder

Simple module to search for files under various conditions, supporting globs via the glob module. Supports filtering by file content, filesize, extensions and created/modified/accessed dates.

Usage

var FilesFinder = require('filesfinder');
 
FilesFinder(rootPath, options)
.then(function(files) {
 
})
.catch(function(error) {
 
});

Options

{
    fileSize: {
        min: '1kB', //Minimum fileSize
        max: '20kB' //Maximum fileSize
    },
    extensions: ['js', 'txt', 'csv'], //Array of extensions to search for,
    fileNameLike: '', //Wildcard filename search
    fileContent: {
        contains: 'Something', //File must contain this string (/Something/gi)
        caseSensitive: false //True for making `contains` case sensitive
    },
    filesOnly: false, //True for ignoring directories
    caseSensitive: false, //True for case sensitive fileName search
    excludedPaths: ['node_modules'], //Array of excluded paths
    timeout: false, //Timeout in ms before aborting the search
    created: {
        start: 'DateString', //Start date for file/dir creation date -- Date.parse
        end: 'DateString' //End date for file/dir creation date -- Date.parse
    },
    modified: {
        start: 'DateString', //Start date for file/dir modified date -- Date.parse
        end: 'DateString' //End date for file/dir modified date -- Date.parse
    },
    accessed: {
        start: 'DateString', //Start date for file/dir accessed date -- Date.parse
        end: 'DateString' //End date for file/dir accessed date -- Date.parse
    }
}
