list folder files in nodejs on linux

Here's an example of how to list the files in a folder in Node.js on Linux:

javascript
const fs = require("fs"); fs.readdir("/path/to/folder", (err, files) => { if (err) throw err; console.log(files); });

This will return an array of strings representing the filenames in the directory /path/to/folder.

You can also use the fs.promises.readdir() method to achieve the same result using promises, like this:

javascript
const fs = require("fs").promises; async function listFiles(dir) { try { const files = await fs.readdir(dir); console.log(files); } catch (err) { throw err; } } listFiles("/path/to/folder");
