# Walk.js (@root/walk)
A port of Go's [`filepath.Walk`](https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#Walk) for Node.js v10+ (which introduced `fs.readdir` `withFileTypes`).
```js
await Walk.walk(rootpath, walkFunc);
```
# Example
```js
import Walk from "walk";
Walk.walk("./", function (err, pathname, dirent) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
// ignore dot files
if (dirent.name.startsWith(".")) {
return Walk.skipDir;
}
});
```
# API Documentation
`Walk.walk` walks `rootpath` (inclusive) and calls `walkFunc` for each file system entry.
It can be used with Promises:
```js
Walk.walk(rootpath, promiseWalker).then(doMore);
```
Or with async / await:
```js
await Walk.walk(rootpath, asyncWalker);
```
The behavior should exactly match Go's
[`filepath.Walk`](https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#Walk) with 3 exceptions:
- uses JavaScript Promises/async/await
- receives `dirent` rather than `lstat` (for performance)
<!-- TODO
- can be created with `options` to change default behaviors
-->
## walkFunc
Handles each directory entry
```js
function walker(err, pathname, dirent) {
// `err` is a file system stat error
// `pathname` is the full pathname, including the file name
// `dirent` is an fs.Dirent with a `name`, `isDirectory`, `isFile`, etc
return null;
}
```
<!-- TODO
## create(options)
Create a custom walker with these options:
- `withFileTypes: false` walkFunc will receive String[] instead of fs.Dirent[]
- `sort: sortFunc`
