A nodejs directory walker. Broadcasts events for various file types as well as a generic "entry" event for all types and provides the ability to prune directory trees. This shows the entire API; everything is optional:
Walker('/etc/').filterDir(function(dir,stat){if(dir==='/etc/pam.d'){console.warn('Skipping /etc/pam.d and children')returnfalse}returntrue}).on('entry',function(entry,stat){console.log('Got entry: '+entry)}).on('dir',function(dir,stat){console.log('Got directory: '+dir)}).on('file',function(file,stat){console.log('Got file: '+file)}).on('symlink',function(symlink,stat){console.log('Got symlink: '+symlink)}).on('blockDevice',function(blockDevice,stat){console.log('Got blockDevice: '+blockDevice)}).on('fifo',function(fifo,stat){console.log('Got fifo: '+fifo)}).on('socket',function(socket,stat){console.log('Got socket: '+socket)}).on('characterDevice',function(characterDevice,stat){console.log('Got characterDevice: '+characterDevice)}).on('error',function(er,entry,stat){console.log('Got error '+er+' on entry '+entry)}).on('end',function(){console.log('All files traversed.')})You specify a root directory to walk and optionally specify a function to prune
sub-directory trees via the filterDir function. The Walker exposes a number
of events, broadcasting various file type events a generic error event and
finally the event to signal the end of the process.
