This will scan a given directory and return a list of files in that directory.
var fs = require('fs'); // core node file system module
var listOfFilesInDirectory = fs.readdirSync('path/to/directory').filter(function(x) {
return x !== '.DS_Store' && x !== 'ignore-other-file.js';
});
I'm excluding files that match .DS_Store
and ignore-other-file.js
.
