deep-list-dir

Deeply lists a directory filtering files by given pattern(s)

This module recursively lists all files in given directory (including sub-folders) by early filtering the results using the given pattern which can be an array of minimatch expressions or RegExp.

It will return all matching results. minimatch negative patterns are used to explicitly exclude a path from being scan / returned.

Example

Take the following file structure:

<directory>
├── dir1
│   └── README.md
├── dir2
│   └── sub-dir2
│       ├── hi.txt
│       └── index.js
├── index.js
└── README.md

...and the following script:

const { deepListDir, deepListDirSync } = require('deep-list-dir')

deepListDir('<directory>',
  {
    pattern: ['*.md'], // minimatch or RegExp
    // base: '', set parent base to something different than given directory
    // minimatchOptions: { matchBase: true } // minimatch options
  }
).then(console.log)

Will output

[
  "dir1/README.md",
  "README.md"
]

A sync version is also provided:

console.log(deepListDirSync('<directory>', { pattern: '*.js'})) 

Output:

[
  "dir2/sub-dir2/index.js",
  "index.js"
]
