Any ideas on an async directory search using fs.readdir? I realise that we could introduce recursion and call the read directory function with the next directory to read, bu

Because everyone should write his own, I made one.

walk(dir, cb, endCb) cb(file) endCb(err | null)

module.exports = walk;

function walk(dir, cb, endCb) {
  var fs = require('fs');
  var path = require('path');

  fs.readdir(dir, function(err, files) {
    if (err) {
      return endCb(err);
    }

    var pending = files.length;
    if (pending === 0) {
      endCb(null);
    }
    files.forEach(function(file) {
      fs.stat(path.join(dir, file), function(err, stats) {
        if (err) {
          return endCb(err)
        }

        if (stats.isDirectory()) {
          walk(path.join(dir, file), cb, function() {
            pending--;
            if (pending === 0) {
              endCb(null);
            }
          });
        } else {
          cb(path.join(dir, file));
          pending--;
          if (pending === 0) {
            endCb(null);
          }
        }
      })
    });

  });
}
