read-directory

Read a directory of files.

Install

npm install --save read-directory

Examples

Async example:

var read = require('read-directory')
read('./files', function (err, contents) {
  console.log(contents)
})

Sync example:

var read = require('read-directory')
var contents = read.sync('./files')

Using in the browser with browserify & budo

Use the included browserify transform module to convert calls to read.sync to the contents of the directory.

Note that to use the browserify transform you must use read.sync, and the path to the file directory can not be a variable.

File that will be browserified & transformed:

var path = require('path')
var read = require('read-directory')
var contents = read.sync(path.join(__dirname, 'files'))

Browserify example:

browserify index.js -t read-directory -o bundle.js

budo example:

budo index.js:bundle.js -- -t read-directory
