Make an plain html page containing a directory listing. Similar in look and feel to NGINX's listing page.

npm install directory-index-html

Usage

var toHTML = require('directory-index-html')
 
var entries = [{
  name: 'test',
  size: 24424,
  mtime: new Date()
}, {
  name: 'a-dir/',
  mtime: new Date()
}]
 
console.log(toHTML('/foo/bar', entries))

API

var html = toHTML(dir, entries)

Render a directory name and listing to an plain HTML string.

dir should be a string containing the directory name.

entries should be an array of entries that are similar to this

{
  name: 'name-of-file-or-dir',
  size: 42424, // size in bytes
  mtime: new Date() // when was this modified
}

To figure out if an entry is a directory the module will one of the following things:

• Check if the path ends with a /
• See if entry.type === 'directory'
• See if entry.mode specifies a directory
