React native file system to read directory recursively to get sub folder and items in it

I can able to read the files in a directory using following function

    const path = RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath;

    RNFS.readDir(path)
    .then((result) => {
        console.warn(result);
        const Files = [];

        if(result != undefined && result.length > 0){

            for(index in result) {
                const item = result[index];
                console.log(item);

                if(item.isFile()){

                    Files.push(item);
                }
            }

            if(Files.length > 0) {

                callback(Files);
            }
            else{

                callback(null);
            }
        }
        else{
            callback(null);
        }
    })
    .catch(err => {

        console.log('err in reading files');
        console.log(err);
        callback(null);
    })

But i want to read the directory and it's subdirectory and the files belongs to them, is there any way to achieve it?

I've achieved copying recursively from something in assets, to something in the document directory, like this:

import FileSystem from "react-native-fs";

async copyRecursive(source, destination) {
    console.log(`${source} => ${destination}`);
    const items = await FileSystem.readDirAssets(source);

    console.log(`mkdir ${destination}/`);
    await FileSystem.mkdir(destination);

    await items.forEach(async item => {
      if (item.isFile()) {
        console.log(`f ${item.path}`);

        const destPath =
          FileSystem.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/" + source + "/" + item.name;

        console.log(`cp ${item.path} ${destPath}`);
        await FileSystem.copyFileAssets(item.path, destPath);
      } else {
        console.log(`d ${item.path}/`);

        // Restart with expanded path
        const subDirectory = source + "/" + item.name;
        const subDestination = destination + "/" + item.name;
        await this.copyRecursive(subDirectory, subDestination);
      }
    });

    this.setState({
      androidReady: true
    });
}
