@gulujs/readdirp

Recursive version of fs.readdir. Exposes a stream API and a promise API.

Installation

1npm install @gulujs/readdirp

Usage

1import { readdirp } from '@gulujs/readdirp';
2
3// Use streams to achieve small RAM & CPU footprint.
4// 1) Streams example with for-await.
5for await (const entry of readdirp('.')) {
6  const { path } = entry;
7  console.log(`${JSON.stringify({ path })}`);
8}
9
10// 2) Streams example, non for-await.
11// Print out all JS files along with their size within the current folder & subfolders.
12readdirp('.', { fileFilter: '*.js', alwaysStat: true })
13  .on('data', (entry) => {
14    const { path, stats: { size } } = entry;
15    console.log(`${JSON.stringify({ path, size })}`);
16  })
17  // Optionally call stream.destroy() in `warn()` in order to abort and cause 'close' to be emitted
18  .on('warn', error => console.error('non-fatal error', error))
19  .on('error', error => console.error('fatal error', error))
20  .on('end', () => console.log('done'));
21
22// 3) Promise example. More RAM and CPU than streams / for-await.
23const files = await readdirp('.');
24console.log(files.map(file => file.path));

root

Path in which to start reading and recursing into subdirectories.

fileFilter

Filter to include or exclude files. A Function, Glob string or Array of glob strings.

• Function: a function that takes an entry info as a parameter and returns true to include or false to exclude the entry
• Glob string: a string (e.g., *.js) which is matched using picomatch, so go there for more information. Globstars (**) are also supported, but it is recommended to set filterEntryKey to 'path' or 'fullPath'. Negated globs (as explained in the minimatch documentation) are allowed, e.g., !*.txt matches everything but text files.
• Array of glob strings: either need to be all inclusive or all exclusive (negated) patterns otherwise an error is thrown. ['*.json', '*.js'] includes all JavaScript and Json files. ['!.git', '!node_modules'] includes all directories except the '.git' and 'node_modules'.
• Directories that do not pass a filter will not be recursed into.

directoryFilter

Filter to include/exclude directories found and to recurse into. Directories that do not pass a filter will not be recursed into.

filterEntryKey

When fileFilter and directoryFilter is glob string, use which entry value ('basename' or 'path' or 'fullPath') to test. Default is 'basename'.

• 'basename' is the last portion of a 'path'.
• 'path' is a relative path based on root.
  • • 'fullPath' is an absolute path.

type

Determines if data events on the stream should be emitted for 'files' (default), 'directories', 'files_directories', or 'all'. Setting to 'all' will also include entries for other types of file descriptors like character devices, unix sockets and named pipes.

lstat

Include symlink entries in the stream along with files. When true, fs.lstat would be used instead of fs.stat

depth

Depth at which to stop recursing even if more subdirectories are found

alwaysStat

Always return stats property for every file. Default is false, readdirp will return Dirent entries. Setting it to true can double readdir execution time - use it only when you need file size, mtime etc.

suppressNormalFlowError

Normal flow error includes 'ENOENT', 'EPERM', 'EACCES', 'ELOOP', 'READDIRP_RECURSIVE_ERROR', will emit as 'warn' event. Default is true Setting it to false will emit these error as 'error' event
