List recursive

List directory contents, including sub-directories recursively with a dependency-free package.

Installation

With yarn

yarn add list-recursive

Or with npm

npm install list-recursive

Usage

Example 1

With TypeScript, to get all file paths in the folder

import { resolve } from 'path';
import listRecursive from 'list-recursive';

const dirPath = resolve(__dirname, 'folder-name');
const files = listRecursive({ dirPath });
// files has absolute file paths for all files in the `folder-name` folder

Example 3

With TypeScript and ignorePattern option, to ignore all files with .txt and .json extension,

import { resolve } from 'path';
import listRecursive from 'list-recursive';

const dirPath = resolve(__dirname, 'folder-name');
const files = listRecursive({ dirPath, ignorePattern: /(\.txt|\.json)$/ });
// files has absolute file paths for all files in the `folder-name` folder, ignoring `.txt` and `.json` extensions

Sample Output

Given folder structure below,

files
├── file1.txt
├── file2.txt
├── file.json
├── sub-folder
│   ├── file3.txt
│   ├── file.doc
│   └── file.xlsx
└── sub-folder-2
    ├── file4.txt
    └── nested-folder
        └── file5.txt

This will be the output, with the full file path.
