API

Options

fileFilter: function (path, callback(err, boolean))

The fileFilter is invoked every time a file is encountered. If the result (gathered asynchronously, the callback takes an error as its first argument and the verdict as its second argument) is trueish the file event will be emitted for the given file.

dirFilter: function (path, callback(err, boolean))

The dirFilter is invoked every time a dir is encountered. If the result (gathered asynchronously, the callback takes an error as its first argument and the verdict as its second argument) is trueish the dir event will be emitted for the given file. If the event is not trueish, the event will not be emitted and the directory will not be descended into.

Events

walker.on('file', function (path) { ... })

Emitted each time a file is encountered and accepted by the fileFilter (if any).

walker.on('dir', function (path) { ... })

Emitted each time a directory is encountered and accepted by the dirFilter (if any).

walker.on('error', function (path, err) { ... })

Emitted each time an error occurs (for example when statting a file, invoking a filter, ...).

walker.on('entry', function (path) { ... })

Emitted each time a directory entry (be it a file, a directory, anything) is encountered.

walker.on('stats', function (path, stats) { ... })

Emitted each time a directory entry is statted. The event also carries the stats for that directory entry.
