Usage in Deno
import { readdir } from "node:fs/promises";
readdir(path: PathLike,options?: (ObjectEncodingOptions & { withFileTypes?: false | undefined; recursive?: boolean | undefined; })
| BufferEncoding
| null,): Promise<string[]>
Reads the contents of a directory.
The optional options argument can be a string specifying an encoding, or an
object with an encoding property specifying the character encoding to use for
the filenames. If the encoding is set to 'buffer', the filenames returned
will be passed as Buffer objects.
If options.withFileTypes is set to true, the returned array will contain fs.Dirent objects.
import { readdir } from 'node:fs/promises';
try {
const files = await readdir(path);
for (const file of files)
console.log(file);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
path: PathLike
options: (ObjectEncodingOptions & { withFileTypes?: false | undefined; recursive?: boolean | undefined; })
| BufferEncoding
| null
Promise<string[]>
Fulfills with an array of the names of the files in the directory excluding '.' and '..'.
readdir(path: PathLike,options: { encoding: "buffer"; withFileTypes?: false | undefined; recursive?: boolean | undefined; } | "buffer",): Promise<Buffer[]>
Asynchronous readdir(3) - read a directory.
path: PathLike
A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the file: protocol.
Promise<Buffer[]>
readdir(path: PathLike,options?: (ObjectEncodingOptions & { withFileTypes?: false | undefined; recursive?: boolean | undefined; })
| BufferEncoding
| null,): Promise<string[] | Buffer[]>
Asynchronous readdir(3) - read a directory.
path: PathLike
A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the file: protocol.
options: (ObjectEncodingOptions & { withFileTypes?: false | undefined; recursive?: boolean | undefined; })
| BufferEncoding
| null
The encoding (or an object specifying the encoding), used as the encoding of the result. If not provided, 'utf8' is used.
Promise<string[] | Buffer[]>
readdir(path: PathLike,options: ObjectEncodingOptions & { withFileTypes: true; recursive?: boolean | undefined; },): Promise<Dirent[]>
Asynchronous readdir(3) - read a directory.
path: PathLike
A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the file: protocol.
options: ObjectEncodingOptions & { withFileTypes: true; recursive?: boolean | undefined; }
If called with withFileTypes: true the result data will be an array of Dirent.
Promise<Dirent[]>
