# @nodelib/fs.scandir
|
|
|
|
> List files and directories inside the specified directory.
|
|
|
|
## :bulb: Highlights
|
|
|
|
The package is aimed at obtaining information about entries in the directory.
|
|
|
|
* :moneybag: Returns useful information: `name`, `path`, `dirent` and `stats` (optional).
|
|
* :gear: On Node.js 10.10+ uses the mechanism without additional calls to determine the entry type. See [`old` and `modern` mode](#old-and-modern-mode).
|
|
* :link: Can safely work with broken symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
npm install @nodelib/fs.scandir
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import * as fsScandir from '@nodelib/fs.scandir';
|
|
|
|
fsScandir.scandir('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### .scandir(path, [optionsOrSettings], callback)
|
|
|
|
Returns an array of plain objects ([`Entry`](#entry)) with information about entry for provided path with standard callback-style.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
fsScandir.scandir('path', (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
|
|
fsScandir.scandir('path', {}, (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
|
|
fsScandir.scandir('path', new fsScandir.Settings(), (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .scandirSync(path, [optionsOrSettings])
|
|
|
|
Returns an array of plain objects ([`Entry`](#entry)) with information about entry for provided path.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync('path');
|
|
const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync('path', {});
|
|
const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync(('path', new fsScandir.Settings());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### path
|
|
|
|
* Required: `true`
|
|
* Type: `string | Buffer | URL`
|
|
|
|
A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the `file:` protocol.
|
|
|
|
#### optionsOrSettings
|
|
|
|
* Required: `false`
|
|
* Type: `Options | Settings`
|
|
* Default: An instance of `Settings` class
|
|
|
|
An [`Options`](#options) object or an instance of [`Settings`](#settingsoptions) class.
|
|
|
|
> :book: When you pass a plain object, an instance of the `Settings` class will be created automatically. If you plan to call the method frequently, use a pre-created instance of the `Settings` class.
|
|
|
|
### Settings([options])
|
|
|
|
A class of full settings of the package.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const settings = new fsScandir.Settings({ followSymbolicLinks: false });
|
|
|
|
const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync('path', settings);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Entry
|
|
|
|
* `name` — The name of the entry (`unknown.txt`).
|
|
* `path` — The path of the entry relative to call directory (`root/unknown.txt`).
|
|
* `dirent` — An instance of [`fs.Dirent`](./src/types/index.ts) class. On Node.js below 10.10 will be emulated by [`DirentFromStats`](./src/utils/fs.ts) class.
|
|
* `stats` (optional) — An instance of `fs.Stats` class.
|
|
|
|
For example, the `scandir` call for `tools` directory with one directory inside:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
{
|
|
dirent: Dirent { name: 'typedoc', /* … */ },
|
|
name: 'typedoc',
|
|
path: 'tools/typedoc'
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### stats
|
|
|
|
* Type: `boolean`
|
|
* Default: `false`
|
|
|
|
Adds an instance of `fs.Stats` class to the [`Entry`](#entry).
|
|
|
|
> :book: Always use `fs.readdir` without the `withFileTypes` option. ??TODO??
|
|
|
|
### followSymbolicLinks
|
|
|
|
* Type: `boolean`
|
|
* Default: `false`
|
|
|
|
Follow symbolic links or not. Call `fs.stat` on symbolic link if `true`.
|
|
|
|
### `throwErrorOnBrokenSymbolicLink`
|
|
|
|
* Type: `boolean`
|
|
* Default: `true`
|
|
|
|
Throw an error when symbolic link is broken if `true` or safely use `lstat` call if `false`.
|
|
|
|
### `pathSegmentSeparator`
|
|
|
|
* Type: `string`
|
|
* Default: `path.sep`
|
|
|
|
By default, this package uses the correct path separator for your OS (`\` on Windows, `/` on Unix-like systems). But you can set this option to any separator character(s) that you want to use instead.
|
|
|
|
### `fs`
|
|
|
|
* Type: [`FileSystemAdapter`](./src/adapters/fs.ts)
|
|
* Default: A default FS methods
|
|
|
|
By default, the built-in Node.js module (`fs`) is used to work with the file system. You can replace any method with your own.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
interface FileSystemAdapter {
|
|
lstat?: typeof fs.lstat;
|
|
stat?: typeof fs.stat;
|
|
lstatSync?: typeof fs.lstatSync;
|
|
statSync?: typeof fs.statSync;
|
|
readdir?: typeof fs.readdir;
|
|
readdirSync?: typeof fs.readdirSync;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const settings = new fsScandir.Settings({
|
|
fs: { lstat: fakeLstat }
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `old` and `modern` mode
|
|
|
|
This package has two modes that are used depending on the environment and parameters of use.
|
|
|
|
### old
|
|
|
|
* Node.js below `10.10` or when the `stats` option is enabled
|
|
|
|
When working in the old mode, the directory is read first (`fs.readdir`), then the type of entries is determined (`fs.lstat` and/or `fs.stat` for symbolic links).
|
|
|
|
### modern
|
|
|
|
* Node.js 10.10+ and the `stats` option is disabled
|
|
|
|
In the modern mode, reading the directory (`fs.readdir` with the `withFileTypes` option) is combined with obtaining information about its entries. An additional call for symbolic links (`fs.stat`) is still present.
|
|
|
|
This mode makes fewer calls to the file system. It's faster.
