dir-meta

FsMeta

This crate adds the ability to recursively walk through a directory in an async fashion. The result is metadata about the directory which currently includes:

• Get the total size of the directory in bytes

• Get the size of files

• Formatting of the file and directory sizes in human readable format (B, KiB, MiB, ...)

• Fetch all the directories

• Fetch all the files

• Fetch the created, assessed and modified timestamps in Tai64N (monotonic, no leap seconds) timstamps

• Fetch the created, assessed and modified timestamps in Local time (24 hour / 12 hour format)

• format timestamps according to duration

• Get the file format eg PDF or plain text

• Returns all the files and directories in current directory with any errors that occur instead of just returning the error when error is encountered (like fs::read_dir())

• Use parallelism where applicable (TODO)

Examples

[dependencies] 
dir-meta = {version = "*", default-features = false} #deactivate methods for converting timestamps to human readable formats in local time setting `default-features` to `false`

• Compiling with async feature to enable asynchronously reading a directory

#[cfg(feature="async")]
smol::block_on(async {
    // Read a directory
    // With feature `async` enabled using `cargo add dir-meta --features async`
    let outcome = dir_meta::DirMetadata::new("src").async_dir_metadata().await.unwrap();

    dbg!(&outcome);

    // Get size of directory formatted as human readable
    dbg!(outcome.size_formatted());

    // Iterate over the files
    
    for file in outcome.files() {
        dbg!(&file.name()); //Get file name
        dbg!(&file.accessed_24hr()); // Get last accessed time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(file.accessed_am_pm()); //Get last accessed time in 12 hour format
        dbg!(&file.accessed_humatime()); //Get last accessed time based on duration since current time
        dbg!(&file.created_24hr());  //Get last created time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.created_am_pm()); //Get last created time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.created_humatime()); //Get last created time based on duration since current time
        dbg!(&file.modified_24hr()); //Get last modified time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.modified_am_pm()); //Get last modified time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.modified_humatime()); //Get last modified time based on duration since current time
        dbg!(file.formatted_size()); // Get the size of the file in human formatted size 
        dbg!(file.file_format()); // Get the format of the file eg (PDF)
    }
    
})

• Compiling with sync feature to enable synchronously reading a directory

#[cfg(feature="sync")]
{
    // Read a directory
    // With feature `sync` enabled using `cargo add dir-meta --features sync`
    let outcome = dir_meta::DirMetadata::new("src").sync_dir_metadata().unwrap();

    dbg!(&outcome);

    // Get size of directory formatted as human readable
    dbg!(outcome.size_formatted());

    // Iterate over the files

    for file in outcome.files() {
        dbg!(&file.name()); //Get file name
        dbg!(&file.accessed_24hr()); // Get last accessed time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(file.accessed_am_pm()); //Get last accessed time in 12 hour format
        dbg!(&file.accessed_humatime()); //Get last accessed time based on duration since current time
        dbg!(&file.created_24hr());  //Get last created time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.created_am_pm()); //Get last created time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.created_humatime()); //Get last created time based on duration since current time
        dbg!(&file.modified_24hr()); //Get last modified time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.modified_am_pm()); //Get last modified time in 24 hour format
        dbg!(&file.modified_humatime()); //Get last modified time based on duration since current time
        dbg!(file.formatted_size()); // Get the size of the file in human formatted size 
        dbg!(file.file_format()); // Get the format of the file eg (PDF)
    }
}
