readdirAsync

external fun readdirAsync(path: PathLike): <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class><String>>(source)

external fun readdirAsync( path: PathLike, options: ReaddirAsyncOptions? = definedExternally): <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class><String>>(source)

external fun readdirAsync( path: PathLike, options: BufferEncoding? = definedExternally): <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class><String>>(source)

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);
}
