# fs2obj

## Current status

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/tobilg/fs2obj.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/tobilg/fs2obj)
[![Dependency Status](https://david-dm.org/tobilg/fs2obj.png)](https://david-dm.org/tobilg/fs2obj)

## Basic usage

### fs2obj( path [, options] )

To all the files and folder from a start folder and any sub-folders:

var fs2obj = require('fs2obj');
var structure = fs2obj('/path/to/folder');

Resulting object will look like:

```
{
"items": [{
"name": "file1.js",
"type": "file",
"size": 0
}, {
"name": "file2.conf",
"type": "file",
"size": 0
}, {
"name": "file3.txt",
"type": "file",
"size": 15
}, {
"items": [{
"name": "test1-file.txt",
"type": "file",
"size": 0
}, {
"items": [{
"name": "subtest-file1.txt",
"type": "file",
"size": 0
}],
"name": "subtest1",
"type": "folder"
}],
"name": "test1",
"type": "folder"
}]
}
```

## Advanced usage

Options can be passed to alter the behaviour.

### filterFiles

A regular expression for what files to include. First matching group defines the key used in returned object.
Defaults to `/^(.+)\.js(on)?$/` (i.e. include all `.js` and `.json` files)

// Include all .js files except those starting with `_`
fs2obj('/path/to/folder', { filterFiles: /^([^_].*)\.js$/ });

### filterFolders

A regular expression for what folders to iterate into. First matching group defines the key used in returned object.
Defaults to `/^([^\.].*)$/` (i.e. process all folders except those beginning with `.`)

// Process all folders except those starting with `.` or `_`
fs2obj('/path/to/folder', { filterFolders: /^([^\._].*)$/ });

### includeBasePath

A boolean value whether the base path (from the start folder) should be included or not.

### includeRealPath

A boolean value whether the real path should be included or not.

## Tests
