You can't do that with frontend. What you need to is using your back-end and return file in it.

You are using NodeJs as back-end so can use the fs.readdir or fs.readdirSync methods.

fs.readdir

const testFolder = './images/';
const fs = require('fs');

fs.readdir(testFolder, (err, files) => {
  files.forEach(file => {
    console.log(file); // use those file and return it as a REST API
  });
})

fs.readdirSync

const testFolder = './images/';
const fs = require('fs');

fs.readdirSync(testFolder).forEach(file => {
  console.log(file);
})
