# recursive-readdir
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/jergason/recursive-readdir)
|
|
|
|
Recursively list all files in a directory and its subdirectories. It does not list the directories themselves.
|
|
|
|
Because it uses fs.readdir, which calls [readdir](http://linux.die.net/man/3/readdir) under the hood
|
|
on OS X and Linux, the order of files inside directories is [not guaranteed](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8977441/does-readdir-guarantee-an-order).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
npm install recursive-readdir
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var recursive = require("recursive-readdir");
|
|
|
|
recursive("some/path", function (err, files) {
|
|
// `files` is an array of file paths
|
|
console.log(files);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can also take a list of files to ignore.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var recursive = require("recursive-readdir");
|
|
|
|
// ignore files named "foo.cs" or files that end in ".html".
|
|
recursive("some/path", ["foo.cs", "*.html"], function (err, files) {
|
|
console.log(files);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass functions which are called to determine whether or not to
|
|
ignore a file:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var recursive = require("recursive-readdir");
|
|
|
|
function ignoreFunc(file, stats) {
|
|
// `file` is the path to the file, and `stats` is an `fs.Stats`
|
|
// object returned from `fs.lstat()`.
|
|
return stats.isDirectory() && path.basename(file) == "test";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Ignore files named "foo.cs" and descendants of directories named test
|
|
recursive("some/path", ["foo.cs", ignoreFunc], function (err, files) {
|
|
console.log(files);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Promises
|
|
You can omit the callback and return a promise instead.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
readdir("some/path").then(
|
|
function(files) {
|
|
console.log("files are", files);
|
|
},
|
|
function(error) {
|
|
console.error("something exploded", error);
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The ignore strings support Glob syntax via
