parse-dir

parse-dir

=========

Node lib to recursively read the files in a directory and return their contents.

Installation

npm install parse-dir

Usage

parseDir(glob, callback);

Or, if you prefer to make it synchronous:

var result = parseDir(glob);
var otherResult = parseDir.sync(otherGlob);

Example

var parseDir = require('parse-dir');

parseDir('*', function(err, files) {

});

Output

[
  {
    fullpath: '/path/to/file.ext',
    filename: 'file.ext',
    basename: 'file',
    extension: '.ext',
    raw: 'raw contents of file',
    contents: 'parsed contents of file',
    parsed: true|false //if file is supported, it will parse the contents.  If false, contents == raw.  See Parsing Files.
  }
]

Parsing Files

If parseDir knows how to parse a file, it will attempt to read it and turn it into a javascript object.

Supported Files

• YAML
• JSON
• JS
• CoffeeScript
• Livescript
