How to list the subdirectories/subfolders in a folder

[convers39]

Thanks for stopping by to ask us a question! Please make sure to include:

• What you're trying to do

For example, I have a folder structure like below, the root folder contains subfolders and files.

folder
 - sub1
   - file1.ext
 - sub2
   - nest1
     - file2.ext
 - file3.ext

I want to list all directories including or excluding nested ones.

folder/sub1/
folder/sub2/

# or with nested folders
folder/sub1/
folder/sub2/
folder/sub2/nest1/

• What code you've already tried

I have tried with the code below:

      const [folders] = await client.getFiles({
        prefix: 'active/',
        delimiter: '/',
        autoPaginate: false,
      });
      console.log(
        'folders',
        folders.map((f) => f.name),
      );

which gives me

folder/
folder/file3.ext

↓gives me an empty array

      const [folders] = await client.getFiles({
        prefix: 'active',
        delimiter: '/',
        autoPaginate: false,
      });
      console.log(
        'folders',
        folders.map((f) => f.name),
      );

Hi @convers39 I think using matchGlob here is the better choice. For example using your structure to retrieve everything you can use bucket.getFiles({matchGlob: '**');

See the documentation here and here.

@convers39 were you able to implement a working solution?

Going to close this out as I think the above docs should help resolve the issue. If there are other questions or this doesn't fully answer the question, please feel free to reopen.
