Combining some answers from this post and also from here, and after some personal research, for NodeJS with typescript I managed to accomplish this by using firebase-admin:

import * as admin from 'firebase-admin';
const getFileNames = (folderName: any) => {
  admin.storage().bucket().getFiles(autoPaginate: false).then(([files]: any) => {
    const fileNames = files.map((file: any) => file.name);
    return fileNames;
  })
 }

In my case I also needed to get all the files from a specific folder from firebase storage. According to google storage the folders don't exists but are rather a naming conventions. Anyway I managed to to this by adding { prefix: ${folderName}, autoPaginate: false } the the getFiles function so:

getFiles({ prefix: `${folderName}`, autoPaginate: false })
