Catalogist NPM

catalogist

Highly customizable listing files in given path, both synchronously and asynchronously

Quickstart

npm install catalogist

Then make reference inside yor module...

const catalogist = require('catalogist');

const result1 = await catalogist.list(__dirname); 
const result2 = await catalogist.listDeep(__dirname, { levels: 2 }); 
const result3 = await catalogist.tree(__dirname, { childrenAlias: "data" });

// or
catalogist.list(__dirname, result => {
  
}); 
catalogist.listDeep(__dirname, result => {
  
});
catalogist.tree(__dirname, result => {
  
});

// or
const result4 = catalogist.listSync(__dirname);
const result5 = catalogist.listDeepSync(__dirname, { levels: 2 });
const result6 = catalogist.treeSync(__dirname, { childrenAlias: "data" });

API

list(path, iteratee, options, callback)

Returns an array of objects with files properties by running each file in given path thru iteratee. The iteratee is invoked with one argument: (stats) - a fs.Stats object provides information about a file (from build-in node.js module "fs");

Arguments

path - (string) Start directory to list files from
[iteratee] - (Function) The function invoked per iteration
[options] - (Object) The options object:
[options.properties] - (Array) The list of file's properties to return. By default it icludes "name", "fullName", "path", "fullPath", "ext", "size", "mtime", "isDirectory"
[options.ignore] - (Array) The list of files/directories to skip. By default it skips directories ".git", ".vscode", ".gitignore", ".npmignore", "node_modules"
[options.onlyFolders] - (boolen) If it is true only folders/directories will be included in list. By default it is false
[options.withSysRoot] - (boolen) Specifies, weather the full path to the file has to include system root to the given path. By default it is false, so the full path starts from given path
[callback] - (Function) The callback function, returning two arguments: (err Error, list Array). If callback is not provided, the method returns Promiss

Returns

Array - the list of objects with files properties

listSync(path, iteratee, options)

The same as list, but synchronously;

listDeep(path, iteratee, options, callback)

Returns an array of objects with files properties by running recursively each file/directory in given path thru iteratee. The iteratee is invoked with one argument: (stats) - a fs.Stats object provides information about a file (from build-in node.js module "fs");

Arguments

path - (string) Start directory to list files from
[iteratee] - (Function) The function invoked per iteration
[options] - (Object) The options object:
[options.properties] - (Array) The list of file's properties to return. By default it icludes "name", "fullName", "path", "fullPath", "ext", "size", "mtime", "isDirectory"
[options.ignore] - (Array) The list of files/directories to skip. By default it skips directories ".git", ".vscode", ".gitignore", ".npmignore", "node_modules"
[options.onlyFolders] - (boolen) If it is true only folders/directories will be included in list. By default it is false
[options.withSysRoot] - (boolen) Specifies, weather the full path to the file has to include system root to the given path. By default it is false, so the full path starts from given path
[options.levels] - (number) Specifies, how deep to list directories. By default it is undefined, so the method returns all child files/directories
[callback] - (Function) The callback function, returning two arguments: (err Error, list Array). If callback is not provided, the method returns Promiss

Returns

Array - the list of objects with files properties

listDeepSync(path, iteratee, options)

The same as listDeep, but synchronously;

tree(path, iteratee, options, callback)

Returns an array of objects with files properties by running recursively each file/directory in given path thru iteratee. Children files and directories are inclueded in the property children as the next list (Array). The iteratee is invoked with one argument: (stats) - a fs.Stats object provides information about a file (from build-in node.js module "fs");

Arguments

path - (string) Start directory to list files from
[iteratee] - (Function) The function invoked per iteration
[options] - (Object) The options object:
[options.properties] - (Array) The list of file's properties to return. By default it icludes "name", "fullName", "path", "fullPath", "ext", "size", "mtime", "isDirectory"
[options.ignore] - (Array) The list of files/directories to skip. By default it skips directories ".git", ".vscode", ".gitignore", ".npmignore", "node_modules"
[options.onlyFolders] - (boolen) If it is true only folders/directories will be included in list. By default it is false
[options.withSysRoot] - (boolen) Specifies, weather the full path to the file has to include system root to the given path. By default it is false, so the full path starts from given path
[options.levels] - (number) Specifies, how deep to list directories. By default t is undefined, so the method returns all child files/directories
[options.childrenAlias] - (string) Specifies the name of the property, which will include child files. By default it is children
[callback] - (Function) The callback function, returning two arguments: (err Error, list Array). If callback is not provided, the method returns Promiss
