Create a cluster of workers to iterate through the filesystem

Usage

Complete API Documentation.

import readdirCluster, { Stat } from 'readdir-cluster'

// note that Stat is not the same as fs.Stats as it has functions removed, as it needed to be serialisable
function iterator(path: string, filename: string, stat: Stat) {
    // skip directories and files that start with .
    if (filename[0] === '.') return false
    // do not recurse into directories
    if (stat.directory) return false
}

const paths = await readdirCluster({ directory: '.', iterator })
console.log(paths)

Performance

  • Running readdir-cluster . returns 7388 files in 500ms

  • Running readdir with recursive: true returns 7388 files in 100ms

    import { readdir } from 'fs'
readdir('.', { recursive: true }, (err, files) => {
    if (err) console.error(err)
    else if (files.length) process.stdout.write(files.join('\n') + '\n')
})

  • Running fdir returns 6480 files in 100ms

    import { fdir } from 'fdir'
const api = new fdir().withBasePath().crawl(process.argv[2])
api.withPromise().then((files) => {
    if (files.length) process.stdout.write(files.join('\n') + '\n')
})

As such, you should probably use readdir with recursive: true or fdir instead. As for why this package exists, readdir-cluster was created in 2005, recursive was added to Node.js in 2023, and fdir was created in 2020. That said, there are several issues that could potentially improve readdir-cluster performance.
