Recursively walk a directory in TypeScript

walk.ts

/**
 * Recursively walk a directory asynchronously and obtain all file names (with full path).
 *
 * @param dir Folder name you want to recursively process
 * @param done Callback function, returns all files with full path.
 * @param filter Optional filter to specify which files to include, 
 *   e.g. for json files: (f: string) => /.json$/.test(f)

+1 Thank you @keyoti

You could also use:

fs.readdir(dir, { withFileTypes: true }, (err: Error, list: Dirent[])

This way you can then leave the stat part and simply check:

if (file.isDirectory()) {

@TheTrashAcc @keyoti Thanks for your suggestions - I've improved the gist with them!
