- # @nodelib/fs.scandir
- > List files and directories inside the specified directory.
- ## :bulb: Highlights
- The package is aimed at obtaining information about entries in the directory.
- * :moneybag: Returns useful information: `name`, `path`, `dirent` and `stats` (optional).
- * :gear: On Node.js 10.10+ uses the mechanism without additional calls to determine the entry type. See [`old` and `modern` mode](#old-and-modern-mode).
- * :link: Can safely work with broken symbolic links.
- ## Install
- ```console
- npm install @nodelib/fs.scandir
- ```
- ## Usage
- ```ts
- import * as fsScandir from '@nodelib/fs.scandir';
- fsScandir.scandir('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
- ```
- ## API
- ### .scandir(path, [optionsOrSettings], callback)
- Returns an array of plain objects ([`Entry`](#entry)) with information about entry for provided path with standard callback-style.
- ```ts
- fsScandir.scandir('path', (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
- fsScandir.scandir('path', {}, (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
- fsScandir.scandir('path', new fsScandir.Settings(), (error, entries) => { /* … */ });
- ```
- ### .scandirSync(path, [optionsOrSettings])
- Returns an array of plain objects ([`Entry`](#entry)) with information about entry for provided path.
- ```ts
- const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync('path');
- const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync('path', {});
- const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync(('path', new fsScandir.Settings());
- ```
- #### path
- * Required: `true`
- * Type: `string | Buffer | URL`
- A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the `file:` protocol.
- #### optionsOrSettings
- * Required: `false`
- * Type: `Options | Settings`
- * Default: An instance of `Settings` class
- An [`Options`](#options) object or an instance of [`Settings`](#settingsoptions) class.
- > :book: When you pass a plain object, an instance of the `Settings` class will be created automatically. If you plan to call the method frequently, use a pre-created instance of the `Settings` class.
- ### Settings([options])
- A class of full settings of the package.
- ```ts
- const settings = new fsScandir.Settings({ followSymbolicLinks: false });
- const entries = fsScandir.scandirSync('path', settings);
- ```
- ## Entry
- * `name` — The name of the entry (`unknown.txt`).
- * `path` — The path of the entry relative to call directory (`root/unknown.txt`).
- * `dirent` — An instance of [`fs.Dirent`](./src/types/index.ts) class. On Node.js below 10.10 will be emulated by [`DirentFromStats`](./src/utils/fs.ts) class.
- * `stats` (optional) — An instance of `fs.Stats` class.
- For example, the `scandir` call for `tools` directory with one directory inside:
- ```ts
- {
- dirent: Dirent { name: 'typedoc', /* … */ },
- name: 'typedoc',
- path: 'tools/typedoc'
- }
- ```
- ## Options
- ### stats
- * Type: `boolean`
- * Default: `false`
- Adds an instance of `fs.Stats` class to the [`Entry`](#entry).
- > :book: Always use `fs.readdir` without the `withFileTypes` option. ??TODO??
- ### followSymbolicLinks
- * Type: `boolean`
- * Default: `false`
- Follow symbolic links or not. Call `fs.stat` on symbolic link if `true`.
- ### `throwErrorOnBrokenSymbolicLink`
- * Type: `boolean`
- * Default: `true`
- Throw an error when symbolic link is broken if `true` or safely use `lstat` call if `false`.
- ### `pathSegmentSeparator`
- * Type: `string`
- * Default: `path.sep`
- By default, this package uses the correct path separator for your OS (`\` on Windows, `/` on Unix-like systems). But you can set this option to any separator character(s) that you want to use instead.
- ### `fs`
- * Type: [`FileSystemAdapter`](./src/adapters/fs.ts)
- * Default: A default FS methods
- By default, the built-in Node.js module (`fs`) is used to work with the file system. You can replace any method with your own.
- ```ts
- interface FileSystemAdapter {
- lstat?: typeof fs.lstat;
- stat?: typeof fs.stat;
- lstatSync?: typeof fs.lstatSync;
- statSync?: typeof fs.statSync;
- readdir?: typeof fs.readdir;
- readdirSync?: typeof fs.readdirSync;
- }
- const settings = new fsScandir.Settings({
- fs: { lstat: fakeLstat }
- });
- ```
- ## `old` and `modern` mode
- This package has two modes that are used depending on the environment and parameters of use.
- ### old
- * Node.js below `10.10` or when the `stats` option is enabled
- When working in the old mode, the directory is read first (`fs.readdir`), then the type of entries is determined (`fs.lstat` and/or `fs.stat` for symbolic links).
- ### modern
- * Node.js 10.10+ and the `stats` option is disabled
- In the modern mode, reading the directory (`fs.readdir` with the `withFileTypes` option) is combined with obtaining information about its entries. An additional call for symbolic links (`fs.stat`) is still present.
- This mode makes fewer calls to the file system. It's faster.
