Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

var fsReaddir = require('fs-readdir');
var through2 = require('through2');
 
// callback api
fsReaddir('../gitclone-cli', function _cb(err, filepaths) {
  // as usual
  console.log('callback err:', err)
  console.log('callback res:', filepaths)
});
 
 
// as stream
var stream = fsReaddir('../gitclone-cli')
.on('error', function(err) {
  console.log('error:', err);
})
.on('finish', function(obj) {
  console.log('finish:', obj);
})
.on('data', function(obj) {
  console.log('data:', obj);
})
.on('folder', function(folder) {
  console.log('folder:', folder);
})
.on('file', function(file) {
  console.log('file:', file);
})
.pipe(through2.obj(function(objArray, enc, next) {
  objArray = objArray.map(function(fp) {
    return path.basename(fp);
  })
  console.log('pipe1:', objArray);
  this.push(objArray)
  next();
})).pipe(through2.obj(function(modified, enc, next) {
  console.log('pipe2:', modified);
  this.push(modified)
  next();
}))
