For fun, here is the ES6/Promises version with an added simple file-type filter:
async walk(dir, ftype) {
let files = await fs.readdir(dir)
files = await Promise.all(files.map(async file => {
const filePath = path.join(dir, file)
const stats = await fs.stat(filePath)
if (stats.isDirectory()) {
return this.walk(filePath, ftype)
} else if (stats.isFile() && file.endsWith(ftype)) {
return filePath
}
}))
// Filter out undefined entries before concatenating
return files.filter(Boolean).reduce((all, folderContents) => all.concat(folderContents), [])
}
Oh, and a minor correction to how you use it. Fairly sure you should have the inner await not just the outer:
for await (const p of await walk(folder, '.html')) {
console.log(p)
}

@acidic9 just curious, is there a reason for a
var
on line 4 or it's just an oversight? The rest of places usesconst
, just seems like it could've been intentional :)
