'use strict';
const DirAnalyzer = require('dir-analyzer');
const fs = require('fs');
 
// Declare my write stream.

// Initialize your scan object.
// Takes a directory to scan argument, and an array of directories to ignore arguement.
const scan = new DirAnalyzer('/', ['/windows']);
 
// Read the data coming in from the scan.
scan.stream.on('data', data => {
    console.log(data)
});
 
// Pipe the data.
scan.stream.pipe(myFlatDb);
 
// Perform a function when the scan is complete.
