Webdirlistnpm version

webdirlist is a versatile library designed to list files in a directory. It can be used in both Node.js and browser environments. In static hosting scenarios, it prepares a comprehensive listing of all files within a directory in a files.txt file.

Features

  • Tracedir Command: Generate a files.txt file containing information about all files in a specified directory.
  • getFileList Function: Retrieve a list of files from files.txt or directly from the file system in Node.js.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install webdirlist

Install the package in global, to use tracedir anywhere:

npm install webdirlist -g

CDN Install

Via jsDelivr:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webdirlist/dist/webdirlist.js"></script>
or
<script type="module">
    import webdirlist from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webdirlist/dist/webdirlist.esm.js';
</script>

Usage

Generating files.txt

Run the tracedir command with npx:

//after npm install in global:
tracedir <blank for current path, or input the folder path>
tracedir .\node_modules\esbuild\
tracedir 

//in the package root folder:
npx tracedir .\node_modules\esbuild\

This will generate a files.txt in the specified folder. The format are filepath,size,timestamp .DS_Store,thumb.db,__MACOSX,.psd would be ignored by default.

In the Browser

import webdirlist from 'webdirlist';

//optional, set the current folder, leave blank=auto
webdirlist.getInstance().setCWD();

// Async function to get file list
webdirlist.getInstance().loadDir('node_modules/esbuild').then(async()=>{
    const files=await webdirlist.getInstance().getFileList('node_modules/esbuild/lib',{
        subfolder:true,//optional,default true
        includedExt:['json','png','mp3'],//optional
        excludedExt:['txt'],//optional
        ignoreFiles:['unuse.json'],//optional
        ignoreFolder:['temp'],//optional
    });
    // list of filenames in string array
    //['lib/main.d.ts','lib/main.js']
})

In Node.js

don't need to use loadDir to read files.txt in advance , just run webdirlist.getInstance().getFileList directly

import webdirlist from 'webdirlist';

// Async function to get file list
const files=await webdirlist.getInstance().getFileList('node_modules/esbuild/lib',{
    subfolder:true,//optional,default true
    includedExt:['json','png','mp3'],//optional
    excludedExt:['txt'],//optional
    ignoreFiles:['unuse.json'],//optional
    ignoreFolder:['temp'],//optional
});
// list of filenames in string array
//['lib/main.d.ts','lib/main.js']

node.js's path In the Browser

wrapped path-browserify-esm as webPath

import webdirlist,{webPath} from 'webdirlist';

console.log(webPath.join('asd','zxc','../qwe/rty'));//  "asd/qwe/rty"
webPath.setCWD('http://192.168.1.1')
console.log(webPath.resolve('asd','zxc','../qwe/rty'));//   "http:/192.168.1.1/asd/qwe/rty"
