Package Exports

walker

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (walker) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

walker

A nodejs directory walker. Broadcasts events for various file types as well as a generic "entry" event for all types and provides the ability to prune directory trees. This shows the entire API; everything is optional:

Walker('/etc/')
  .filterDir(function(dir, stat) {
    if (dir === '/etc/pam.d') {
      console.warn('Skipping /etc/pam.d and children')
      return false
    }
    return true
  })
  .on('entry', function(entry, stat) {
    console.log('Got entry: ' + entry)
  })
  .on('dir', function(dir, stat) {
    console.log('Got directory: ' + dir)
  })
  .on('file', function(file, stat) {
    console.log('Got file: ' + file)
  })
  .on('symlink', function(symlink, stat) {
    console.log('Got symlink: ' + symlink)
  })
  .on('blockDevice', function(blockDevice, stat) {
    console.log('Got blockDevice: ' + blockDevice)
  })
  .on('fifo', function(fifo, stat) {
    console.log('Got fifo: ' + fifo)
  })
  .on('socket', function(socket, stat) {
    console.log('Got socket: ' + socket)
  })
  .on('characterDevice', function(characterDevice, stat) {
    console.log('Got characterDevice: ' + characterDevice)
  })
  .on('error', function(er, entry, stat) {
    console.log('Got error ' + er + ' on entry ' + entry)
  })
  .on('end', function() {
    console.log('All files traversed.')
  })

You specify a root directory to walk and optionally specify a function to prune sub-directory trees via the filterDir function. The Walker exposes a number of events, broadcasting various file type events a generic error event and finally the event to signal the end of the process.
