get-all-files

A blazing fast recursive directory crawler with lazy sync and async iterator support.

Install

$ npm i get-all-files

Usage

import { getAllFiles, getAllFilesSync } from 'get-all-files'

// Lazily iterate over filenames asynchronously
for await (const filename of getAllFiles(`path/to/dir/or/file`)) {
  // Could break early on some condition and get-all-files
  // won't have unnecessarily accumulated the filenames in an array
  console.log(filename)
}

// Get array of filenames asynchronously
console.log(await getAllFiles(`path/to/dir/or/file`).toArray())

// Lazily iterate over filenames synchronously
for (const filename of getAllFilesSync(`path/to/dir/or/file`)) {
  // Could break early on some condition and get-all-files
  // won't have unnecessarily accumulated the filenames in an array
  console.log(filename)
}

// Get array of filenames synchronously
console.log(getAllFilesSync(`path/to/dir/or/file`).toArray())

API

Methods

getAllFiles(path[, options])

Returns a lazy async iterable/iterator that asynchronously iterates over the file paths recursively found at path in no particular order.

Calling toArray on the returned value returns a promise that resolves to an array of the file paths.

getAllFilesSync(path[, options])

Returns a lazy iterable/iterator that iterates over the file paths recursively found at path in no particular order.

Calling toArray on the returned value returns an array of the file paths.

Parameters

path

Type: string

A path to a file or directory to recursively find files in.

options

Type: object

Properties

resolve

Type: boolean
Default: false

Whether to resolve paths to absolute paths (relative to process.cwd()).

isExcludedDir

Type: (dirname: string) => boolean
Default: () => false

A predicate that determines whether the directory with the given dirname should be crawled. There is no isExcludedFile option because you can exclude files by checking conditions while lazily iterating usinggetAllFiles.sync or getAllFiles.async.
