A utility to list all files in a directory. Returns only file paths (no directories), relative to the starting directory. Supports optional recursive walking and extension filters.

Installation

npm install lifi

Example

import lifi from 'lifi';

// List files in current directory
const files = await lifi('.');
console.log(files);
// → ["file1.txt", "image.png"]

// List files recursively
const deepFiles = await lifi('.', { recursive: true });
console.log(deepFiles);
// → ["file1.txt", "subdir/file2.txt", "subdir/nested/file3.js"]

// Filter by extension
const jsonFiles = await lifi('.', { recursive: true, extensions: ['.json'] });
console.log(jsonFiles);
// → ["data.json", "config/settings.json"]
