Nodejs module to find files?

Question

I search a module to find files in nodejs.

I would like something like:

var finder = require('finder');
var path = finder.find('/path/to/*.js');

Then path is an array with for example:

/path/to/file.js
/path/to/sub/file.js
...

For simple searches supporting callbacks you can use: https://github.com/yuanchuan/find

Alternatively, you can use filehound which supports async (callbacks, promises) and sync calls. In addition, you can specify multiple search criteria like file extension, size etc

Example:

const Filehound = require('filehound');

const files = Filehound.create()
   .ext('js')
   .findSync();

console.log(files) // json files
