Get all files recursively in directories NodejS
I have a little problem with my function. I would like to get all files in many directories. Currently, I can retrieve the files in the file passed in parameters. I would like to retrieve the html files of each folder in the folder passed as a parameter. I will explain if I put in parameter "test" I retrieve the files in "test" but I would like to retrieve "test / 1 / *. Html", "test / 2 / . /.html ":
var srcpath2 = path.join('.', 'diapo', result);
function getDirectories(srcpath2) {
return fs.readdirSync(srcpath2).filter(function (file) {
return fs.statSync(path.join(srcpath2, file)).isDirectory();
});
}
The result : [1,2,3]
thanks !
It looks like the glob
npm package would help you. Here is an example of how to use it:
File hierarchy:
test
├── one.html
└── test-nested
└── two.html
JS code:
const glob = require("glob");
var getDirectories = function (src, callback) {
glob(src + '/**/*', callback);
};
getDirectories('test', function (err, res) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error', err);
} else {
console.log(res);
}
});
which displays:
[ 'test/one.html',
'test/test-nested',
'test/test-nested/two.html' ]
I've seen many very long answers, and it's kinda a waste of memory space. Some also use packages like glob
, but if you don't want to depend on any package, here's my solution.
const Path = require("path");
const FS = require("fs");
let Files = [];
function ThroughDirectory(Directory) {
FS.readdirSync(Directory).forEach(File => {
const Absolute = Path.join(Directory, File);
if (FS.statSync(Absolute).isDirectory()) return ThroughDirectory(Absolute);
else return Files.push(Absolute);
});
}
ThroughDirectory("./input/directory/");
It's pretty self-explanatory. There's an input directory, and it iterates through that. If one of the items is also a directory, go through that and so on. If it's a file, add the absolute path to the array.
Hope this helped :]
Using ES6 yield
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
function *walkSync(dir) {
const files = fs.readdirSync(dir, { withFileTypes: true });
for (const file of files) {
if (file.isDirectory()) {
yield* walkSync(path.join(dir, file.name));
} else {
yield path.join(dir, file.name);
}
}
}
for (const filePath of walkSync(__dirname)) {
console.log(filePath);
}
Here's mine. Like all good answers it's hard to understand:
const isDirectory = path => statSync(path).isDirectory();
const getDirectories = path =>
readdirSync(path).map(name => join(path, name)).filter(isDirectory);
const isFile = path => statSync(path).isFile();
const getFiles = path =>
readdirSync(path).map(name => join(path, name)).filter(isFile);
const getFilesRecursively = (path) => {
let dirs = getDirectories(path);
let files = dirs
.map(dir => getFilesRecursively(dir)) // go through each directory
.reduce((a,b) => a.concat(b), []); // map returns a 2d array (array of file arrays) so flatten
return files.concat(getFiles(path));
};
