How do you get an array with the list of the files contained in a folder in Node.js?
First import the fs
built-in module, then call fs.readdirSync()
passing the folder name you want to read:
import fs from 'fs'
const filenames = fs.readdirSync('content')
You can use a relative or absolute URL.
Then you can iterate over the file names in this way:
filenames.map((filename) => {
console.log(filename)
})
