Reading

List folder and files

In my project I use this function for getting huge amount of files. It's pretty fast (put require("FS") out to make it even faster):

var _getAllFilesFromFolder = function(dir) {
    var filesystem = require("fs");
    var results = [];

    filesystem.readdirSync(dir).forEach(function(file) {
        file = dir+'/'+file;
        var stat = filesystem.statSync(file);
        if (stat && stat.isDirectory()) {
            results = results.concat(_getAllFilesFromFolder(file))
        } else results.push(file);
    });

    return results;
};

usage is clear:

_getAllFilesFromFolder(__dirname + "folder");

Electron File object

The DOM's File interface provides abstraction around native files in order to let users work on native files directly with the HTML5 file API. Electron has added a path attribute to the File interface which exposes the file's real path on filesystem.

Example on getting a real path from a dragged-onto-the-app file:

<div id="holder">
  Drag your file here
</div>

<script>
  var holder = document.getElementById('holder');
  holder.ondragover = function () {
    return false;
  };
  holder.ondragleave = holder.ondragend = function () {
    return false;
  };
  holder.ondrop = function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var file = e.dataTransfer.files[0];
    console.log('File you dragged here is', file.path);
    return false;
  };
</script>

Using Native Node Modules

The most straightforward way to rebuild native modules is via the electron-rebuild package, which handles the manual steps of downloading headers and building native modules:

npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild

# Every time you run npm install, run this
node ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

How to read a file in AngularJS?

.directive("ngFileSelect",function(){    
return {
  link: function($scope,el){          
    el.bind("change", function(e){          
      $scope.file = (e.srcElement || e.target).files[0];
      $scope.getFile();
    });          
  }        
}
