Dir

external class Dir(source)

A class representing a directory stream.

Created by {@link opendir}, {@link opendirSync}, or fsPromises.opendir().

import { opendir } from 'node:fs/promises';

try {
  const dir = await opendir('./');
  for await (const dirent of dir)
    console.log(dirent.name);
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

When using the async iterator, the fs.Dir object will be automatically closed after the iterator exits.

Since

v12.12.0

fun read(cb: (err: ErrnoException?, dirEnt: Dirent?) -> Unit)

readSync

fun readSync(): Dirent?

Synchronously read the next directory entry as an fs.Dirent. See the POSIX readdir(3) documentation for more detail.
