$ cd node_modules/dirio
$ npm install

Public interface

convert([destination,] source, callback)

Transforms source to destination. At first it detects what the source is. Then it performs appropriate action like reading directory structure and storing it to a json file.

Arguments

• source - May be a path to a directory or path to a json file or javascript object.

• destination - A path where the result of the operation should be stored. If not provided, the result will be passed to the callback as a javascript object.

• callback(err[, result]) - The result is not passed to the callback if the destination argument is provided.

Symbolic links are transparent for this method as it uses fs.stat internally. See lconvert if you need to work with the symbolic links directly.

lconvert([destination,] source, callback)

This method uses fs.lstat internally to work with symbolic links directly. Otherwise it provides the same interface and functionality as the convert method.
