Read only directories in node
To read only directories in Node.js, you can use the fs
module to achieve this. Here are the steps to do that:
- Import the
fs
module by requiring it in your code:
const fs = require('fs');
- Use the
fs.readdir
method to read the contents of a directory. This method takes the directory path and a callback function as parameters:
fs.readdir('/path/to/directory', (err, files) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
// Process the files
});
- In the callback function, filter the
files
array to include only directories using thefs.stat
method:
files.forEach(file => {
fs.stat(`/path/to/directory/${file}`, (err, stats) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
if (stats.isDirectory()) {
// Process the directory
}
});
});
By following these steps, you can read only directories in Node.js using the fs
module.
