Usage

See the tests!

• File
• Directory Parser

File

const fs = require('fs-plusplus');

// Load a File that exists
const file = new fs.File('./foo/bar/hello.txt');
// or if the file doesn't exist yet we set the canCreate flag to true
const file = new fs.File('./foo/bar/hello.txt', true);

console.log(file.name); // 'hello.txt'
console.log(file.extension); // '.txt'
console.log(file.fullPath); // './foo/bar/hello.txt'

// Get the file content (lazy loaded)
console.log(file.content);

// Replace some stuff
file.replaceContent(/private/g, 'public') // makes private stuff public

// Save
file.save();
// or
file.saveAs('./newFileName.txt');

DirectoryParser

const fs = require('fs-plusplus');

// Make a directory parser
const dp = new fs.DirectoryParser();

// Parse recursively to get the files in the directory './foo'
const files = dp.parse('./foo');

// files is an array of files...
// Each file has a name, extension and full path
// e.g.
console.log(files[0].name); // 'hello.txt'
console.log(files[0].extension); // '.txt'
console.log(files[0].fullPath); // './foo/bar/hello.txt'

We can restrict to certain file types

const files = dp.parse('./foo', ['.cs', '.cpp']); // just .cs and .cpp files

We can exclude results based on keywords (case insensitive)

const files = dp.parse('./foo', undefined, ['bin', 'debug']); // ignore files with paths containing 'bin' or 'debug'

Or do a mixture

const files = dp.parse('./foo', ['.cs'], ['bin', 'debug']);
