Let's say we have a directory that contains four folders, like so:
- folder-1
- folder-2
- folder-3
- folder-4
How can I get their path and store them in an array so I'd have an array like:
['root/parent/folder-1', 'root/parent/folder-2', 'root/parent/folder-3', 'root/parent/folder-4']
Do it this way if you don't need absolute path omit __dirname use dirPath:
var fs = require('fs');
var dirPath = 'parent/';
var result = []; //this is going to contain paths
fs.readdir(__dirname + dirPath, function (err, filesPath) {
if (err) throw err;
result = filesPath.map(function (filePath) {
return dirPath + filePath;
});
});
You could do it through fs.readdir
var fs = require('fs');
fs.readdir('root/parent/', function(err, files) {
if (err)
console.log(err);
else
files.map(function(f) {
return 'root/parent/'+f;
});
return files;
})
pathmodule nodejs.org/api/path.html and please, tell us a bit more about the context, are you listing the current directory? Do you just happen to have an array of dir strings?
