fdir is an extremely fast directory crawler and globbing library for NodeJS, capable of crawling 1 million files in under a second. It uses a builder-pattern API, has zero dependencies (globbing requires optional picomatch), and ships in under 2KB gzipped.

Use cases

• list all files in a directory tree quickly
• find files matching glob patterns in NodeJS
• build a directory tree listing
• replace glob or fast-glob for faster file walking
• crawl large file systems with millions of files
• get full paths of files recursively

When to choose

• you need the fastest possible directory traversal in NodeJS
• you want a tiny, zero-dependency file walker
• you need both sync and async crawling APIs
• you're building tooling like bundlers or linters that scan file trees

When to avoid

• you need to crawl directories outside NodeJS (browser, Python, etc.)
• you need advanced glob features beyond what picomatch provides
• you need file watching or change detection
• you need cross-platform shell-style globbing with complex brace expansion out of the box
