How to list the files in a folder in Nodejs API calls












-1















I am trying to list the files in a particular folder. However, I am not able to list the file name. I am testing through postman.



API call to list the files : 

getFiles: function(req){
return new Promise(function(resolve,reject){
fs.readdir(fileFolder, (err,files)=>{
files.forEach(file => {
console.log(file);
})
})
})
}


fileFolder contains the path to the folder.



Can you please guide me.



Much Appreciate the help!

    Your question doesn't make much sense. Postman is used for testing HTTP APIs. That code you've provide is a JavaScript function which has no sign of doing anything over HTTP at all.

  • @Quentin Yes, the output from the code is my result from the API call. I am getting error. I am a beginner in this field. Hope you understand.

  • Is getFile a function you are invoking from a route? Does your code prints out the filenames to the console?

  • @KossiD.T.S. Yes. But it is not printing out the filenames.
