fask v0.3.3

NodeJS package for analysing large amount of files.

This NodeJs library searches for all files within an specific folder - recursively - and sends each file info to your processing library. It takes care of multithreading, queuing and managing database connections.

## Usage

1. Require the package

$ npm install fask --save

2. Require it and define your analysis

const fask = require('files-analysis-starter-kit')

// Pre-analysis hook
fask.before = (dbs, callback) => { callback() }

// The actual file processing
fask.process = (dbs, fileInfo, callback) => {
  setImmediate(callback)
}

// Post-analysis hook
fask.after = (dbs, callback) => { callback() }

// Launch the analysis
fask.start({...})
