NodeJs List filenames inside a file with absolute path

I am using windows and have this folder:

c:\myfiles

Inside that directory I have some files.

So:

getfilesList() {
    mypath: 'c:\myfiles'
    // code to get file list here
}

How can I do this?

ps: I found quite a few examples but none worked for me for one reason or another.

If you write a local tool and need not asynchronous methods, you can just use fs.readdirSync(). Do not forget to escape Windows delimiters in your path:

const fs = require('fs');
const filenamesArray = fs.readdirSync('C:\\Program Files\\nodejs');
console.log(filenamesArray);

Output:

[ 'install_tools.bat',
  'node.exe',
  'nodevars.bat',
  'node_etw_provider.man',
  'node_modules',
  'npm',
  'npm.cmd',
  'npx',
  'npx.cmd' ]

You should read the documentation of fs (FileSystem) in the Node website The function you search is fs.readdir(yourPath) Hope this help!
