Find-files-extra NPM

Simple (with advanced feature) file search

Examples

// Find all json files (Loading content + parse to json)
let jsonFiles = await findFileExtra({
  root: MY_PROJECT_ROOT,
  filePattern: "**/*.json",
  loadFileContent: true,
  parseJson: true,
});

// Find all ts files with 'search-me' in content (Not loading content)
let files = await findFileExtra({
  root: MY_PROJECT_ROOT,
  filePattern: "**/*.ts",
  fileContentPattern: "search-me",
});

// Find all ts files with content that match regexp (Loading content)
let files = await findFileExtra({
  root: MY_PROJECT_ROOT,
  filePattern: "**/*.ts",
  fileContentPattern: /search\-me|searchMe/,
  loadFileContent: true,
});

Result

The result is list of findFileExtraFileInfo (interface)

export interface findFileExtraFileInfo {
  fullPath: string;
  pathFromRoot: string;
  fileName: string;
  dirFullPath: string;
  dirPathFromRoot: string;
  ext: string;
  json?: unknown;
  content?: string;
}
