Get all directories within directory nodejs

Question

I was hoping this would be a simple thing, but I cannot find anything out there to do so.

I just want to get all folders/directories within a given folder/directory.

So for example:

<MyFolder>
|- SomeFolder
|- SomeOtherFolder
|- SomeFile.txt
|- SomeOtherFile.txt
|- x-directory

I would expect to get an array of:

["SomeFolder", "SomeOtherFolder", "x-directory"]

Or the above with the path if that was how it was served...

So does anything already exist to do the above?

Answer 1

Promise

import { readdir } from 'fs/promises'

const getDirectories = async source =>
  (await readdir(source, { withFileTypes: true }))
    .filter(dirent => dirent.isDirectory())
    .map(dirent => dirent.name)

Callback

import { readdir } from 'fs'

const getDirectories = (source, callback) =>
  readdir(source, { withFileTypes: true }, (err, files) => {
    if (err) {
      callback(err)
    } else {
      callback(
        files
          .filter(dirent => dirent.isDirectory())
          .map(dirent => dirent.name)
      )
    }
  })

Syncronous

import { readdirSync } from 'fs'

const getDirectories = source =>
  readdirSync(source, { withFileTypes: true })
    .filter(dirent => dirent.isDirectory())
    .map(dirent => dirent.name)

Answer 2

List directories using a path.

function getDirectories(path) {
  return fs.readdirSync(path).filter(function (file) {
    return fs.statSync(path+'/'+file).isDirectory();
  });
}

Recursive solution

I came here in search of a way to get all of the subdirectories, and all of their subdirectories, etc. Building on the accepted answer, I wrote this:

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

function flatten(lists) {
  return lists.reduce((a, b) => a.concat(b), []);
}

function getDirectories(srcpath) {
  return fs.readdirSync(srcpath)
    .map(file => path.join(srcpath, file))
    .filter(path => fs.statSync(path).isDirectory());
}

function getDirectoriesRecursive(srcpath) {
  return [srcpath, ...flatten(getDirectories(srcpath).map(getDirectoriesRecursive))];
}
