With Recursion

var fs = require('fs')

var getFiles = function(path, files){
    fs.readdirSync(path).forEach(function(file){
        var subpath = path + '/' + file;
        if(fs.lstatSync(subpath).isDirectory()){
            getFiles(subpath, files);
        } else {
            files.push(path + '/' + file);
        }
    });     
}

Calling

getFiles(path, files)
console.log(files) // will log all files in directory
