Answer 1

Use npm list-contents module. It reads the contents and sub-contents of the given directory and returns the list of files' and folders' paths.

const list = require('list-contents');

list("./dist",(o)=>{
  if(o.error) throw o.error;
   console.log('Folders: ', o.dirs);
   console.log('Files: ', o.files);
});
