Create JSON object from a given path (tree like structure)

// return JSON object for directory tree
const myPathTree = fsExplorer.createFileSystemTree('/path/to/dir/or/file');

Get All Directories path from a prepared Directory Tree

const myPathTree = fsExplorer.createFileSystemTree('/path/to/dir/or/file');
// returns string[]
const myPathDirectories = fsExplorer.getAllDirectoryPathFromPreparedFSInfo(myPathTree);

Get All Directories path from a given path (includes directories from the sub-directories)

// returns string[]
const myPathDirectories = fsExplorer.getAllDirectoryPathFromFileSystem('/path/to/dir/or/file'); 

Get All Files path from a prepared Directory Tree

    const myPathTree = fsExplorer.createFileSystemTree('/path/to/dir/or/file');
    const myPathFiles = fsExplorer.getAllFilePathFromPreparedFSInfo(myPathTree); // returns string[]

Get All Files path from a given path (includes files from the sub-directories)

    const myPathFiles = fsExplorer.getAllFilePathFromFileSystem('/path/to/dir/or/file'); // returns string[]

Get All Files and Directories details from a given path (include all files/directories from sub directories)

// returns array of File/Directory details IFSInfo[]
// Details include size, file name, type, last modified time, extension, complete path
const myPathAllFSDetails = fsExplorer.getAllFSElementsDetailsFromFileSystem('/path/to/dir/or/file');

Get All Files and Directories details from a prepared Directory Tree

const myPathTree = fsExplorer.createFileSystemTree('/path/to/dir/or/file');
// returns array of File/Directory details IFSInfo[]
const myPathAllFSDetails = fsExplorer.getAllFSElementsDetailsFromPreparedFSInfo(myPathTree);

Get All Files and Directories details from the given path

// returns array of File/Directory details IFSInfo[]
const myPathContents = fsExplorer.getDirectoryContentList('/path/to/dir');

Create Directory in a Given path

// creates 'New Folder' directory inside '/path/to/dir'
const mkdirResponse = createDirectory('/path/to/dir/New Folder', true);
// creates 'New Folder' directory inside '/path/to/dir', if already exists, then will create 'New Folder (1)'
const mkdirResponse = createDirectory('/path/to/dir');
// Return mkdirResponse.errno 0 on success

Delete Directory/Files

// To delete directory, pass second paramater as true
const deleteDirResponse = deleteDirectory('/path/to/dir', true);
const deleteDirResponse = deleteDirectory('/path/to/file');
// Returns errno 0, on success

Rename Directory/Files

// pass rename File/Directory details IRenameFileDetails in function parameter
// IRenameFileDetails include old_path_length, old_path_, new_path_length, new_path

// Returns errno 0, on success

Check Directory Read/Write Persmission

const directoryRWPermRes = checkDirectoryReadWritePersmission('/path/to/dir');
// Returns errno 0, on success

Check FS Element Exists

// check if file exists or not
const fsElementExistsResponse = checkFSElementExists('/path/to/dir/or/file');
// Returns true, on FS Element exist

Get FS Element Details

// Returns FS Element IFSInfo 
// Details include size, file name, type, last modified time, extension, complete path
const fsElementDetails = getFSElementDetails('/path/to/dir/or/file');

Check Mount Free Space
