Listing files in a directory in Clojure

Question

How can I create a list out of all of the files in a specific directory in Clojure? Do I have to resort to calling Java or can Clojure handle this natively?

Answer 1

Usually, when we say that we want to list directory, we mean that we want to get file names or paths, so ->

Simplest way to list directory:

(seq (.list (clojure.java.io/file ".")))

If you want to list it recursive, then:

(map #(.getPath %)
     (file-seq (clojure.java.io/file ".")))
